Ratings Review: LAST MAN STANDING (2nd Season)

LAST MAN STANDING had a pretty stable and consistent sophomore season. It drew a Friday night audience in the high 6 million to low 7 million range, and a mid-one rating in Adults 18-49.

Renewal for a third season should not be an issue. It is the #3 comedy in ABC's line up. If ABC were smart, they would place LAST MAN STANDING in on Wednesdays at 8:30 for next season. It would stabilize the night and should have the ability to grow out of THE MIDDLE.
