Still standing tall

Entering its eighth season, Last Man Standing is out on Hotstar. The show stars Tim Allen as Mike Baxter, a happily married father of three daughters, who finds himself the odd man out as he tries to maintain his manliness in a home dominated by women. The current season sees Mike and his wife Vanessa dealing with ‘empty nest’ syndrome as all their daughters have moved out of their house.

Nancy Travis who portrays the character of Vanessa Baxter says, “There are a lot of beginnings and a lot of changes to the Baxter family. We have a marriage that’s coming up and births! It’s exciting!” Tim Allen who has also directed some episodes on the show said, “I liked directing the episodes. It’s humbling and I’m grateful to be walking in other people’s shoes.”

The eighth season is a continuation of a plot which first debuted in 2011. Set in Denver, Colorado the series returns with Tim Allen featuring as Mike Baxter, who uses his job as marketing director of Outdoor Man and his vlogs to promote his store’s products and ventilates his opinions and everything else that is going on in his life.
