TUESDAY
"Last Man Standing" — D
(Multi-camera sitcom; Oct. 11 on ABC)
Starring: Tim Allen, Nancy Travis
Concept: Allen (left) plays a guy's guy type surrounded by women — his executive wife, his daughter, and his boss. Modern life bugs him.
Am I hooked? I'm no masochist. This pilot was painful, as Allen tries too hard to be cranky and offensive and misogynistic and yet ultimately — aww — a good guy.
Alternate title: "According to Tim"
