Here's my view as a non-US citizen watching this from outside of the country. This show was awesome until the Leftist Hollywood Nazis decided to cancel it from ABC in 2017 (after Season 6), triggered by a Republican being elected to the White House in November 2016.

The show was then picked up by Fox. Unfortunately, the damage seemed to have been done, since some of the main actors didn't show up in the re-boot (probably because of the fear of being cancelled by the Leftist social media Nazis). Molly Ephraim never came back as the second daughter and was recast with a different actress who never managed to fill the void. Kaitlyn Dever (youngest daughter) became just a guest in the show, instead of being a main character. A few new characters were introduced to fill the empty story arcs left void by them leaving. That Chinese actress is just plain annoying and never improved over the later seasons. That character was clearly a token character introduced hoping to balance the political undertones at the time, and didn't really add anything to the overall story.

Needless to say, seasons 7, 8 and 9 feels like a completely different show. Having said that, kudos to Tim Allen, Nancy Travis and Héctor Elizondo for having the courage to fight for this show and keeping it running for 3 more seasons.

Good luck America, may you find your way back to your founding principles as a constitutional republic. :flag_us:
