Tim Allen's recent tv show, Last Man Standing... pretty funny


very war of the sexes humor... it's a hoot.


this is where he works, but when he goes home and is around his wife and 3 daughters he has to try and maintain his manliness in a world dominated by women, and be a good example of what men are supposed to be for his grandson, the little kid his single unwed daughter is raising in her parents (Tim Allen's character's house) as so many Gen X people are doing.


it's on Netflix to stream. ABC was broadcasting it, and just cancelled it. Seems they aren't a fan of Tim Allens adult oriented dad and husband humor. Disney isn't about that sort of humor, they are about princesses and merchandising, and Disney owns ABC.

Despite strong ratings (2nd most watched comedy on ABC according to Variety.com) and a loyal fan base Studio 20th Century Fox Television is looking for a new home for the show.

The show didn’t have a ratings problem – it averaged 6.4 million viewers this season on Friday night, and that should be graded upward on a curve, since the overall Friday audience is typically smaller than other weeknights.

Instead of Last Man Standing, they’ll broadcast the princess drama “Once Upon a Time,” which this year drew... 3.2 million viewers, or half of Allen’s number. It's the story of what might have happened to Snow White, Maleficent, and the other Disney fairy tale characters... Rumpelstiltskin, Peter Pan, etc.

Maybe a network or streaming service more interested in actually having a popular show will show some interest. Hopefully Netflix picks it up to run with The Ranch... another good show.

“Last Man Standing” faces an uphill battle though, after six seasons, costs for the series are significantly higher than those for younger multi-camera comedies typically are. And the buying patterns of broadcast networks this development season showed little appetite for multi-cams among most of the Big Four.

Larrabee Deyo trucking company, whatever happened to them? Anyone ever heard of them?

“The fame of Binghamton is being carried to the far corners of the Earth by its products, and especially by the motor trucks which are made here.” In 1919, this quote appeared in The Binghamton Press with an announcement that the Larrabee-Deyo Motor Truck Co. had received large orders from New Zealand and Sweden. Business was booming for this local manufacturer, and with their trucks, “Made in Binghamton” was being heard around the world. The new company grew out of two successful Binghamton manufacturing concerns. Sturtevant-Larrabee had a reputation for manufacturing high-quality horse-drawn wagons, carriages and sleighs since the 1870s. The Deyo-Macey Engine Co. built gasoline engines in a plant on Washington Street. Now, with H.C. Larrabee as president and R.H. Deyo vice president and general manager, the new company was advertised as having “the advantage of the services of men experienced in both the construction of gas engines and in carriage building.” In 1923, nationally known...

the 1st thing I learned about Otto Mears is that he built toll roads in Colorado, charging $5 to cross a remote road he built in 1881, later he built the famous sceneic Rio Grande Railway... and some other amazing things

Otto Mears was an early pioneer of road and railroad construction in this area. He charged $5 for a wagon team, and 10 cents a person, to pass over the bridge. upper left of the top photo is his toll booth. the same bridge today  Given its location, there was no way to sneak around it. the road cost a thousand dollar a foot to make. It's still the shortest way from Grand Junction to Durango (left side of the map, West side of Colorado) Otto Mears was born in Russia in 1840, his parents died when he was very young, so he was passed between a series of family members moving to England, then sent to New York, out to California – and finally arriving in San Francisco in 1851. No one was there to meet him, his Uncle had left for Australia... so as an eleven year old only speaking Russian he supported himself selling newspapers. Later he worked in stores in the California Gold County where he also learned to be a tinsmith. He was robbed of his savings and moved to Sacramento where he l...
