Similar to Blue Bloods short run on wednesdays following Criminal Minds, if it comes back to tuesdays LMS would average between 1.3-1.5, a minimal improvement over its current 1.2-1.3 friday average.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-20303663396082432922014-11-15T17:15:17.494-05:002014-11-15T17:15:17.494-05:00I think people are vastly overreacting to Grimm...I think people are vastly overreacting to Grimm's drop.

Superficially, both Last Man Standing and Cristela seem like highly compatible sitcoms: same studio and same sitcom production format, background laughter and broad humor that couldn't be any further from edgy and original. Where they diverge is in the tone of their respective humor. If LMS and Cristela were cable news organization, LMS would be FOX News and Cristela would be MSNBC. I'm not so sure fans of Cristela enjoy hearing snarky comments made about Latino immigrants on LMS by Tim Allen's ultra conservative character and conversely, I'm not so sure LMS fans are necessarily fans of a sitcom that is entirely about a young female Latina and her family trying to make a living in America. Both are traditional family sitcoms but the similarities end there.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-26881522002933011732014-11-15T11:57:34.657-05:002014-11-15T11:57:34.657-05:00It was also the 100th episode and promoted as such...It was also the 100th episode and promoted as such.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-83720847109064560082014-11-15T11:54:07.197-05:002014-11-15T11:54:07.197-05:00Looks like The Amazing Race is holding back Last M...Looks like The Amazing Race is holding back Last Man Standing. Cristela's poor showing is audience rejection but at least it's not on the same level as The Neighbors.<br /><br />Even with an uptick in finals for Shark Tank, this is a poor showing: a slightly stronger lead-in coupled with much less competition should have led to a new season high.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-9265652626678394382014-11-15T11:40:32.619-05:002014-11-15T11:40:32.619-05:00LMS did spectacularly.

ABC will try to let it go again at season's end and again it will be hard to justify such a thing based on the ratings.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
