Mike Baxter is a happily married father of three daughters who finds himself the odd man out as he tries to maintain his manliness in a home surrounded by women. Mike tries to escape all the female drama at home in the warm, manly embrace of his job at the Outdoor Man store, a sporting goods emporium where he is marketing director. He also revels in his Outdoor Man vlog, which he uses as a pulpit for his opinions -- which often have nothing to do with the store's merchandise. When he's supposed to be selling mountain bikes or kayaks, he somehow ends up spouting off about the environment, health care, international politics or any other topic occupying his mind.

Emily St. James AV Club Sep 20, 2013
The problem with Last Man Standing's attempts to go political is exemplified by the first scene of the season premire, which remains one of the most uncomfortable scenes of television I've ever watched. Go to Full Review Pilot Viruet AV Club Sep 20, 2013

When the biggest draw to a sitcom episode in 2013 is that it features a few minutes of Jonathan Taylor Thomas then, well, that show may have a problem. Go to Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Nov 2, 2012
I think it's time the folks involved with Last take a closer look at All in the Family, in which the prejudice was built around real jokes. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide Nov 2, 2012

William W @Will_IV Jan 1, 2026 A truly awful show full of cringe humor, lazy writing, and bad acting. See more Rachel Y @RT61639799 Aug 11, 2025 I only watched a few minutes or the first two episodes, but I couldn’t get past the over political and the know it all attitude of new Kirsten and Ryan. The first season was great, I’m sad they made so many changes. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Feb 12, 2025 Not a terrible season but took a dive from the first season. See more Steven Patrick L @RT69179360 Sep 10, 2024 This series is fun for Elitists to lambast. But it is my humble opinion that as you watch it, it grows on you. The humor is fun and consistent. See more isa e @RT65594135 May 2, 2023 audience score doubles critics, the show is timely , funny, and a must see, I have seen the series 2x now and still funny, the cast and humour are 1st rate and if you do not like Nancy Travis, you need to get some joy in your life, she is a national treasure See more ahmad m @ahmadmelhem Sep 22, 2022 While expanding its world, it leans towards mild inconsistency and creating self-contained stories, but nevertheless does it still deliver on expectation.
