TV: ‘Last Man Standing’ has last laugh on critics

Guess what is shaping up as the biggest hit of the new TV season? Tim Allen’s retro “manly man emasculated” sitcom, “Last Man Standing.” TV critics loathed it — but 13.2 million viewers liked it. That’s TV’s biggest 8 p.m. comedy debut in more than seven years. And the new 8 o’clock comedy opened on its own.

Senh: It's good to know that Tim Allen still has a TV career to fall back on now that his film career has floundered. Maybe he can get back to his feet on TV land, and then reboot his film career again later.
