If you haven't heard, ABC recently cancelled the comedy "Last man standing" (LMS) despite it having a high and steady viewership. This has caused a significant backlash since LMS' main character (played by Tim Allen) is a prominent conservative and made fun of liberal positions and politicians. Conservative outcry was fierce because there aren't generally too many network shows that appeal to conservatives while ABC (and many other networks) are filled with very liberal friendly shows.
ABC should immediately reinstate LMS because it reaches a key demographic that it needs to reach and does so with over 8 million viewers. More importantly though ABC (and Disney as well) need to avoid the partisan political climate in terms of content. It is ok to have liberal shows as long as there are conservative shows, but it is not ok for corporate to espouse some values over the other and make programming decisions based on them.

Bring back LMS!
