I bet Amazon or Netflix picks it up---maybe with some agreement to lower costs. There are 3 common ways to reduce the cost of a season. One is for the stars to take less money per episode. Another is for the network to just buy fewer episodes. The third option is to do the same number of episodes, but have the scripts written where every star isnt in every episode. That allows them to pay each star for fewer episodes. I doubt that option 3 would work for this kind show.

Fewer episodes may work. British tv has always been that way.

Good news even though I don't get that channel. Great show.

My wish of another network picking up the show has happened. I hope ABC enjoys the massive ratings it is going to get for Fox.
Last Man Standing is back.

Off the top of my head---Friday Night Lights, Gilmore Girls, and The Killing are three examples where another network picked up an existing show after it had been cancelled by its original network. Im guessing this probably only happens when the property is not owned by the network (like Last Man Standing).
In a somewhat related note---apparently the new "conservative" network some are talking about is what the Sinclaire/Tribune Media merger is all about. I had been looking at that news from primarily a sports point of view.
The Killing didn't really get picked up by another network. Netflix was already in on the production of the show.
The thing that won't get Last Man Standing picked up is the fact that it's a sitcom in the dying multicam/laughtrack format. If the show was produced like Mindy, I'd say it could get picked up. But it's produced like Home Improvement, which can't even get syndication outside of the Hallmark channel.
Yea, it doesn’t have a chance of getting picked up.

IF FOX is smart, they'll finish their once started plans to bring back King of the Hill to go with this. I would think King of the Hill appeals to the same demo.

Hey, longshots make it too. I think the success of Roseanne and the reintroduction of older shows on streaming services made the format desirable again.

I loved King of the Hill. Although I'd like to see it comeback, I'm afraid it can't match what it once was if brought back. Who knows though.

LuAnn and Lucky couldn't be part of that revival so it would definitely have a different feel.

RE: Last Man Standing canceled
Saw the new season opener tonight and the show picked up right where it left off. Didn't shy away from politics but did so in a funny way and with a good message. One thing I'm not sure about is the new Mandy though. Seems like the new actress is trying to be the previous Mandy.

She was AWFUL annoying generally not a good pick. I disliked her so much, I finally turned it off.

She needs to be herself. Overall I enjoyed the show and liked it's message that even though we have our differences, in the end, we're all in this together.
