The end is here for Allen’s ‘Last Man Standing’
Note: All times are Eastern/Pacific, unless noted.
DON’T MISS: “Last Man Standing” — The popular Tim Allen sitcom that suffered a controversial death on ABC (2011-2017) before finding new life on Fox is now pulling the plug for good. The end arrives in the form of back-to-back farewell episodes, the last half-hour of which was written by Allen. In the storyline, Mike’s beloved truck is stolen — just as he completes his 10-year renovation on it. That prompts the Baxter family and friends to gather for an emotional goodbye. Kaitlyn Dever and Jay Leno guest star. (9 p.m. ET Thursday, Fox).
