I know!! The new Mandy has lost all that successfulness and growth and is now just a joke! It really bothers me.

[@GokulOnFire]

Amazing writers indeed. Truly brilliant not the fake facetious Hollywood brilliant. But they regressed Mandy's character. So it's unfair to blame the actress. Molly was fabulous indeed. Shame she quit. She took the wrong side out of social pressure, which never adored her as the fans of the show did.

[@GokulOnFire]

@@bedahobbs6355 yeah but it's not like that. They just chopped Mandy's good things & gave it away. Her successful female entrepreneur attitude was given to Kristin, working mom. Her wardrobe & chiq attitude scenes where given to Jen. The new actress was left just to be goofy & date Kyle. She pulled off the goofiness well, and the Kyle relationship which Molly-Christoph duo were excellent at was always hard to replace esp w/o building it coz writers build relationship over seasons, She did that decently.

This show was on TV in Russia, and I wached it till the end. And as a person who is not involved in your poliitics (although some peope think we are 😉) I can say it was a very good show and a lot of people like it here. It teaches that the family and reliable close friends are the most important things in our life. And it comes so natural to understand it so I don't get just why some people are negative about such simple things.

[@kylec3150]

I liked both Mandys. I felt the new Mandy had better chemistry with Kyle her husband. I mean both of them were great at their respective roles, but stuff happens. My only real question is how a show can be the second highest rated on a network and dropped. I like this show. It is an opportunity to showcase valid but different viewpoints. Maybe it could bridge people on different sides of the political aisle, and help them realize that the other side are not mustache twirling Disney villains but people who have a different opinion of what will help the people and nation as a whole. I honestly thought the episode where Ryan was forced to understand that sometimes big government and regulation can get in the way of growing a business for the benefit of the customers and employees was great. I thought it was interesting that Tim had a instance where he wanted someone in the US illegally to stay. Challenging preconceived notions and allowing people to humanize others with different viewpoints is critical for a nation to unite as a whole in a positive way.

The original Mandy will always have a special place in my heart and in my opinion she isn't replaceable. I don't mind the new actress playing her, but it lost something without Molly. As for the first girl who played the oldest Daughter "Kristin" (Alexandra) the reason I like her better is because she looks like she could actually be the sister of the other two girls. Having said that I like Amanda (the current Kristin) and I take to her better than the Mandy replacement. I just thought Alexandra had a better fit, and I thought she was quite adorable as well. Love the youngest Daughter and I am glad she wasn't replaced but instead used a little less on the show because she found other work.

[@kimsmith8229]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@russellseaton2014]

Agree, agree, agree. The eldest girl first played by Alexandra really did look like she could be the daughter of her parents on the show. Very believable. The replacement, Amanda Fuller, is very clearly NOT related to her parents. Molly Ephraim with her black hair is stretching her believability of being a daughter. But maybe, maybe. Kaitlyn Dever could easily be a real daughter too. I know the show is made up fiction fantasy. But it is better if the fiction is somewhat believable.

“Why it was cancelled is still unclear.” Yeah, no it was pretty clear why it was. It was one of the top-rated shows with steady and healthy viewing numbers. It was pulled because Hollywood hates anything that disturbs their narrative; and since Mike Baxter is a character that is clearly a conservative, white, heterosexual, Christian male means he had to go away. It was the fans that brought that show back. I’m actually quite surprised it did.

[@its6696]

@Christopher Laughlin The comedy is pretty evenhanded as these things go.If it was just another pro-liberal all the time kind of thing they wouldn't have gotten Tim Allen and it would have been two seasons and done. If it was just in your face pro-conservatism it wouldn't be as good as it is. Tims character (Mike) has mellowed and Jordans (Ryan) has actually had to become a grown up and realize you have to work for stuff and life ain't fair. Fairly well crafted arcs for a sitcom. All the characters have grown on this show.

[@thomasfleig1184]

They could handle Tim Allen's character bashing Hillary, at first, because they believed he would be eating his words. Then Hillary lost, and they couldn't handle being reminded of it every week.

I agree. Molly is FAR better at the role than the blonde gal.

[@TheProudmomma34]

Molly was exceptional on the show. I feel they should have casted someone at least with that type of on screen energy. It comes across as someone pretending to be someone else as there really are no similarities between the two.

[@brandon074]

@@TheProudmomma34 I agree. The show screwed up royally on that. I don't blame Molly for leaving because she, along with everyone else, thought the series was done when ABC cancelled the series so she went out and got other jobs. Sadly, she couldn't get one to where she could come back as either a regular or a guest role.

I am in love with this show. However I hated the fact that they changed the character Mandy Baxter. I am still not used to Molly Mccook cause she ain't really selling it. The character change of Carol did not sting me as much but it would be nice to see her for just one more episode. Isn't Kaitlyn Dever the best, she really loved last man standing as much as we did that she is not ready to say goodbye to us. She is my favourite character alongside the famous Mike Baxter. If those two would leave the show it wouldn't be the same. This is an amazing show for it does not hold back, they stand their ground and are not afraid to speak. I am really looking forward to the future seasons.

It was clearly canceled (originally) for political reasons. In a industry that is very left leaning. A show that stars a very right leaning actor is on borrowed time.

[@Noneyourbusiness18]

I love the show and don't agree a bit with "Mike" 's ideas. But it's comedy. Don't need to agree to enjoy the show. Politics in entertainment is terrible.

[@wrenamed9238]

Oh yes, the entertainment industry LOVES turning away money...NOT! Perhaps the salary of the actor got too steep. Perhaps the audience just didn't tune in when ratings were being monitored. Perhaps it WAS the one sided political indoctrination. For whatever reason, you can't go back, and you can't stay in the present forever. THAT is why shows end, so NEW shows can be viewed; because after a while, the storyline gets sadly repeated or loses topics. This show was basically Tool Time with all daughters instead of sons. A masculine oriented job that is more about appeal than actual ability, with a "boys will be boys" mentality A wife that is the punchline set up. Kids that look to dad for approval and wisdom, and mom to keep dad in check. A neighbor, wise but still in need of Tim/Mike validation. Not saying it was the worst show, just that it was cookie cutter made for the star.

In case of Mandy it was too late into the show. Just casting another pretty girl who plays the dumbass bimbo (the actress poorly trying to mimic Mandys traits and quirkiness) will never work, because people are too invested. Would've been super easy to just give her a farewell, studying abroad or whatever, maybe featuring the original actress for a phone call every now and then. Wouldve also helped Kyles character arc, being pretty dependent on Mandy, then losing her and actually maturing. But judging fron the comments here, people were thirsting over the made up mandy, who was barely able to form a coherent sentence and they decided that adding another girl was the way to go.
