Last Man Standing was down 4% from last season's A18-49 ratings, meaning that once again it had its strongest Friday season. Like Hawaii 5-0 and Blue Bloods, Last Man Standing finished at 94% of the league average in A18-49, and on its current trajectory would have above-average ratings next season despite self-starting on Friday nights. We won't get to know just how high it would have gone though, because ABC canceled it. The cancelation likely had to do with expenses and not being in-house owned, because it had an outstanding season in the ratings when looking at it compared to other shows and its previous years' numbers.
