Last Man Standing

Let’s face it: Most of the time, we are TV snobs. We also usually agree with critics. Someone mentioned liking Two and a Half Men to Ern on Tuesday, and she actually sneered. She wiped the look off her face quickly, but it didn’t go unnoticed. Fortunately, guys love mean girls, so this particular one burned Ern three CDs the next day. There’s Depeche Mode in there. Yesssss.

However, this time, we are not going to sneer at the little Tim Allen sitcom that’s a hell of a lot like Home Improvement. If you like sitcoms, Tim Allen, and Home Improvement, this one is not bad. This is due mostly to the cast. The middle daughter is annoying at first when she’s crying about Glee, but she gets funny quick. The oldest daughter, Kristin, was seen briefly on both LOST and Nikita, and let us just say that this hair is working for her.

We also like the wife and the youngest tomboy daughter. We chuckled a few times during this and didn’t roll our eyes once. We enjoyed ourselves. It was relaxing to watch. It’s not groundbreaking, modern, or new in any way. But it’s not a cheesy pain to watch either. So if you are interested in this show based on the commercials, go ahead and check it out. The first and second episode aired this week and are on hulu.
