    While I enjoy the show and am happy it is carrying on, the amateur radio bit has always been a bit of a bust.

    Very little amateur radio activity shown on the show from what I remember. Basically just a backdrop.

    I did QSL and get a QSL back from the show which is neat.

    You'd be surprised how little content is produced internally in most of the major networks. The vast majority of it is outsourced. Internal productions are expensive because of personnel expenses. Plus, it becomes operating expenses which have tax advantages to big corporations.

    As shows like this get more and more successful, they get more and more expensive.

    It's a great show I am glad to see it returning regardless of showing ICOM showcase.

    I always wondered why there were no visible antennas on the show. Maybe, thats why they took a hiatus, they needed time to erect a 100 ft crank up tower with a full size Yagi!

    I''m sure they took the hiatus to fill out their logbooks and make sure all the QSL cards had been sent out... :)

    Wouldn’t it be great if LMS did a story involving a conflict with his HOA re his antennas. Mike Baxter (the main character) naturally asserting his right to use his property in any way he sees fit.

    One of the daughters on the show got her ticket too. Can't remember which one. You had a good point though I don't think he's ever plugged Amateur Radio in any interviews that I have seen.

    It does not seem to have anything to do with the amateur radio I stop watching it

    Not quite. KF0XIE is the fictitious call sign for Mandy Baxter a character played by Molly Ephraim on the ABC television series "Last Man Standing" ( I corrected the atrocious spelling errors in this QRZ "biography" ).

    Tim is the only ham CAST MEMBER that I am aware of to get licensed. Though quite a few CREW MEMBERS did get licensed.

    Understandable that if what you were looking for was a show that focuses on amatuer radio, you would be disapointed. Amatuer Radio is certainly not the focal point the show. I've seen maybe 8 or 10 episodes, and only 1 featured a brief ham moment. To each their own though right? I think it is certainly one of the most refreshing, and funny shows in quite some time. Not quite in the realm of Frasier or Seinfeld, but closer to that quality of humor than most other similar type shows.

    Even though there were no towers or antennae shown on the show (that I remember) there were a few hams working on the set that put a wire antenna up in the set roof thus making the ham radio setup at the shop fully functional.

    There are quite a few scenes where an Icom transceiver and accessories (QSL cards and a QRZ sticker) are used a background props. An ARRL handbook is frequently used as makeshift camera platform for his comedic “vlogs”.

    What? ABC cancels Roseanne??!! Already??? :confused:. It’s only been what... 2 months?

    Too bad for the rest of the cast. Kudos to ABC for doing the right thing.

    Just what does that have to do with a show on Fox?

    Haven't you heard?

    The two shows are allegedly competing with one another.
