Season 9
Last Man Standing follows Mike Baxter (Ted Allen), 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.
Last Man Standing is a show about an American family and everything they deal with today - all filtered through the blunt man's man comedy of an iconic American dad.
Through it all, Mike sees himself as a beacon of reason, as he continues to be surrounded by forces seeking to challenge his ideas on just about everything.
In addition to Allen, the series stars Nancy Travis as Mike's wife, Vanessa; Amanda Fuller as their oldest daughter, Kristin; Molly McCook as their free-spirited second daughter, Mandy; Christoph Sanders as Mike's charmingly naïve co-worker and Mandy's husband, Kyle Anderson; Jordan Masterson as Kristin's husband, Ryan Vogelson; Jonathan Adams as Mike's neighbour and co-worker, Chuck Larabee; Krista Marie Yu as Mike and Vanessa's live-in foreign exchange student, Jen; and Hector Elizondo as owner of Outdoor Man, Ed Alzate.
After the events of the eighth season finale, during which Kristin went into labor with her baby daughter, while Mandy was pregnant with her first child, the series will jump ahead into the near future, when Mike and his wife, Vanessa, will contemplate their own future, including Mike's imminent retirement from his lifelong job at Outdoor Man - and who could be his successor.
In the Season 9 premiere, "Time Flies": A series of time jumps finds Mike and Vanessa with two new grandchildren, as well as Mandy and Kyle living with them.
When Vanessa and Mandy clash over Vanessa's "helpfulness," Mike accidentally-on-purpose gets involved.
Meanwhile, at Outdoor Man, Chuck desperately hopes it's last call on Ed's mixology happy hour.
Last Man Standing is produced by 20th Century Fox Television.
