Creator Jack Burditt signed on to be the showrunner of Last Man Standing's first season, but after a family tragedy, he took an absence from the show. Though he returned for a brief period, he knew he wouldn't be able to lead the sitcom much longer, and Reba vet Kevin Abbott took the helm.
When a show reaches the 100-episode benchmark necessary for syndication, it means the studio can sell the rights to air reruns on channels across the country. In simpler terms, it means a lot of money for the people behind the show—and in the case of Last Man Standing, it meant a whole new wave of ratings success.
During the fifth season of 30 Rock, Burditt got a call to potentially develop a sitcom for Tim Allen about a man trying to maintain his masculinity in a world of women. Since Burditt lives with his wife and three daughters, ...
After Home Improvement went off the air in 1999 , Tim Allen took a little break from network sitcoms, and when it was announced that he'd be returning to ABC with Last Man Standing in 2011, fans were excited to see Allen in another family comedy. Though the ratings were very good for six years, ABC decided to cancel the program in 2017, much to the surprise of fans—and Allen himself. Now that its run on the network has concluded, we're looking back to learn more about this Tim Allen favorite.
The critics didn't stop people from flocking to the show. Last Man Standing gained viewers consistently through its first season and people were generally pleased to have Allen back on their TV screens.
It's probably unsurprising, then, that there's a chance the show will survive its own cancellation. 20th Century Fox TV, the studio that owns the show, announced that plans to shop the show to other networks and outlets after ABC ended its involvement, with Fox TV president Howard Kurtzman telling Variety, "If it's not going to go forward at ABC, of course [president Jonnie Davis] and I are hopeful that we can find another home for it."
The show was developed by 30 Rock vet Jack Burditt. Getty Images. You might not think that a show known for its conservative fanbase and comical attacks on PC culture would spring from the mind of a writer who'd worked on Frasier and 30 Rock.
In Yojimbo, the only sane character in the town appears to be the inn keeper, who functions as a source of information for Sanjuro. Something akin to a friendship develops between the two, and Sanjuro’s final confrontation of the corrupted ones can perhaps be seen as his reaction to the news that the inn keeper has been taken prisoner.
One aspect to really celebrate about Yojimbo is its use of space, modelled on your typical small town from western films. One could easily say that the layout of the nameless town in Yojimbo, together with the way space is used in general, works as a strong narrative and mood-setting device. With Yojimbo, we always seem to know where we are in relation to the rest of the town.
Yojimbo is, in many ways, a very theatrical film. Not only are most of its characters caricatures, but the action is very stylised and if you follow them closely, the actors tend to move very unnaturally on the screen as they conform to the two axes of presentation.
One major change that A Fistful of Dollars introduces is the role of the captive woman in the story. In Yojimbo she is introduced out of the blue, and while this reflects the fact that we only know as much as Sanjuro knows and furthers the point that after Unosuke’s arrival Sanjuro is no more in full charge of the action, her sudden appearance may nevertheless be seen as a somewhat weak plot device. Personally, I think that the way in which A Fistful of Dollars introduces the captive woman’s situation right at the beginning and amplifies her role throughout, amounts to a better handling of her character. Another emphasis that A Fistful of Dollars makes on its female characters is that it also makes Consuelo Baxter the clear head of the Baxter gang, unlike what is the case with the Seibeis who, although perhaps ultimately really run by the wife, are shown to make their decisions as a family.
Actually, watching the opening scene of Yojimbo again, I realised that both Jon and I misremembered the water giving scene. Sanjuro is not given water there by the farmer, but asks for a permission to use the well, which he is granted.
Yojimbo is often described as a comedy, although a “satire” is probably a better word to use. In any case, Kurosawa’s film repeatedly winks at us and comes across as relatively light-hearted entertainment, even despite the grim and gruesome events that unfold before us.
