LAST MAN STANDING - "Gameday Forecast: Showers" - When a Jack and Jill wedding shower for Mandy and Kyle is announced, Mike is disappointed to learn it's on the same day as the big Broncos-Chargers game. In an effort to catch the game with Joe (Jay Leno) and the guys, Mike convinces the couple to hold separate showers. Ryan offers to host the men's festivities at his place, and to Mike's dismay, he's more into party planning than anyone would have thought. Meanwhile, Ed's convinced that sticking to his superstitious rituals is the only way to see to it that the Broncos pull out a big win, even if it means interfering with Mandy's wedding shower, on "Last Man Standing," FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30 (8:00-8:31 p.m. EDT), on the ABC Television Network.

Fans were shocked when Tim Allen's popular sitcom Last Man Standing was canceled by ABC last year, but now it's joining Roseanne and Will & Grace on the growing list of TV reboots, as it's been picked up by FOX for the fall.

Now, in an exclusive new interview with Closer Weekly, Tim shares his thoughts on the return of the series. "I'm excited because we have so much left in our tank," Tim tells Closer. "There were a lot of stories we hadn’t gotten to."

Among the topics Tim, 64, wants to tackle is guns, as his character "owns a sporting-goods store that has firearms, so we're going to have to deal with that somehow." Hot-button issues haven't hurt Roseanne's ratings, so Tim might be right on target.
