Tim Allen is one of the very few conservatives left in Hollywood. His sitcom, “Last Man Standing” did not kowtow to the liberal agenda in the least bit. The show was a huge success, however, ABC decided to cancel it regardless. The bad politics here did not go unnoticed by the right.
If ABC executives Americans would just forget all about this and that this would die down quick, they sure were wrong. The network now faces two huge petitions and a boycott, as well as a surprising statement of support for Allen by a sitting governor.
Conservative Tribune reports, A petition on Change.org that collected over 100,000 signatures by Tuesday morning after being launched Friday noted that “Last Man Standing” is “a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values.”
“‘Last Man Standing’ is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers. And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been canceled,” it continued.
According to The Daily Wire, a similar petition on PetitionCongress.org demanded a congressional investigation.
“With a plethora of ultra-liberal shows available on television, this show stood out from the rest and motivated conservatives who voted for President Trump,” the petition read. “Please demand that Congress investigate whether LMS was canceled for political reasons.”
While Congress may not be the appropriate vehicle for an investigation, at least one GOP governor has noted that he thinks ABC’s decision is based on politics: Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

And these petitions aren’t planning on being taken lightly.
“The intent of this petition/boycott is to attempt to get ABC to renew the show. With that in mind, I will no longer be watching any ABC shows. I have canceled the DVR settings for the other ABC shows that I regularly watch,” the Change.org petition reads. “If you want to help try to save ‘Last Man Standing,’ I encourage you to do the same.”
Over 100,000 is a lot of people in just five days, and boycotts can be serious business — particularly from the right. Just ask Target. And this isn’t a good time for ABC or its corporate parent Disney, either, particularly as its ESPN division continues to hemorrhage money like a BlackBerry stockholder, according to Conservative Tribune.
