A 2011 sitcom starring Tim Allen and Nancy Travis. Often referred to as an Distaff Counterpart to Home Improvement.

Tropes used in Last Man Standing (U.S. TV series) include:
  • Christmas Episode: "Last Christmas Standing." Boyd's father returns to town, while Mandy demands better working conditions for her fellow elves at Outdoor Man.
  • Creator Breakdown: In-Universe. Whenever Mike does an Internet ad for the store, he usually rants about whatever's been annoying him in a given episode.
  • Halloween Episode: "Last Halloween Standing." Against Kristen's wishes, Mike takes Boyd out trick-or-treating and winds up mixing him up with another kid in a similar costume.
  • Odd Friendship: Kyle and Ed.
  • The One Guy: The premise of the series, with Mike the only male Baxter in the cast. (There is Boyd, but he's only seen occasionally.)

 Doctor: I'm concerned about your blood pressure.

Mike: I live in a house with four women.

Doctor: Then you're doing great.

  • Reality Subtext: In the pilot, Mike's first lines include "I'm back!" and "It's good to be home" - referencing Tim Allen's return to TV, network ABC over ten years after Home Improvement ended and even the same timeslot said series occupied.
  • Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Kyle and Mike.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Eve and Mandy.
