Ep 9. Changing Light Bulbs

Mike Baxter (Tim Allen) and his family return for another hilarious episode of Last Man Standing. In season 4 episode 9, titled Changing Light Bulbs, the Baxters find themselves in the middle of an all-out war when Vanessa (Nancy Travis) insists on changing every light bulb in the house to energy-efficient LED bulbs.

As the episode begins, Vanessa announces her plan to change all the light bulbs in the house to energy-efficient LEDs. Mike is less than thrilled, convinced that the old bulbs are just fine and that Vanessa is wasting her time and their money. However, Vanessa is determined, and sets out to replace every single bulb in the house.

At first, the change seems to be going smoothly. But before long, the family finds that they're running into all sorts of problems. Some of the fixtures won't take the new bulbs, some of the bulbs are too dim to be useful, and others just won't work at all. To make matters worse, some of the bulbs need special compatibility settings, and the old switches in the house just won't cut it.

As the chaos ensues, Mike becomes increasingly irritated with Vanessa's plan. He insists that the old bulbs were just fine, and that they don't need to waste their time and money on something that doesn't work. Vanessa, on the other hand, is convinced that the new bulbs are the way to go, and is determined to make them work in their home.

Over the course of the episode, Mike and Vanessa's battle over the light bulbs escalates, with each one becoming more and more determined to prove their point. In the end, though, they both come to realize that they need to work together in order to get the job done. They finally find a way to make the new bulbs work, and in the process, they manage to bring their family closer together.
