Watch Last Man Standing
This show is categorized as a comedy so there are plenty of jokes passed between the different characters. As the show progresses the youngest daughter who had always been more of a tomboy, begins to change her interests which confuses her sports oriented father. The middle daughter is clearly a girly girl and is often the focus of many jokes spouted by her other two sisters. The wife is a strong woman who supports her children and often gets into debates with her husband over his lack of emotional sharing.
Mike's job at the sporting goods store is to oversee the advertising the store uses. The character interactions at the store include those with his boss and an employee who began dating his oldest daughter. The young man employed by the store is very easy going and not especially the brightest person in the store. This enhances the comedic feedback between the three key characters who work together in the store. Where Mike is level-headed, his boss often makes decisions based on his own best interests rather than the best interests of the store. Some of the themes for the show revolve around the activities related to sporting goods, such as fishing trips and car shows.
Some minor characters who show up from time to time include Mike's brother and father and his wife's sister. While the general format of the show centers around comedy, it is not without some serious points. Every once in a while, Mike will have a heart to heart talk with his wife or his daughters. Situations arise involving boyfriends, money and school, which are handled in a lighthearted manner.

Last Man Standing News
Despite rumors, neither network will be picking up the canceled series.
The cable network might be a better fit for the sitcom's conservative audience.
The manly sitcom still had lots of fans among conservative viewers, and they weren't happy with the news, either.
Fans were thrilled to see JTT reappear with old co-star Tim Allen on "Last Man Standing." What has the grown-up actor been doing since he walked away from fame at the height of his career?
It's not entirely clear if he'll be actually doing the signature grunt, and there won't actually be a TV show called "Tool Time" involved, but make no mistake, Tim Allen's return to TV tonight on ABC with the show "Last Man Standing" is basically "Home Improvement 2: Electric Boogaloo."
