The Tim Allen comedy,Last Man Standing, is getting a new showrunner.
Kevin Abbott, best known for running the WB’s Reba, will likely take the reins at the 20th Century Fox-produced half hour about a manly man raising three daughters in a progressive world. Abbott would replace Emmy-winning Jack Burditt, who suffered a family tragedy earlier this fall and has asked not to return to the show. In Burditt’s absense, deputy executive producers Marsh McCall and Andy Gordon have been shouldering his load.
