With the sudden cancelation of his successful show Last Man Standing and the outcry from his conservative fans for ABC to bring it back, Tim Allen now says he feels "stunned and blindsided" by it all.

After news broke that Allen's show, openly conservative in accordance with his belief system, would not be renewed for a seventh season, he remained largely silent until finally speaking up on Tuesday.

“Stunned and blindsided by the network I called home for the last six years. #lastmanstanding,” Allen tweeted.

Allen previously opened up about the show's conservative leanings in an interview with UPI last year, saying it sprang up organically and had no particular agenda.

“We didn’t design it like this, like we are different from everybody else, but Last Man Standing, in syndication now, it can go anywhere. It can be at 6 o’clock. It’s family friendly. We’re not holier than thou who did it this way, but it is a very different situation when you have a show that the whole family can watch together,” Allen told UPI in a phone interview last year. “And I really like that we’re doing this.”

A recently launched change.org petition to save the series has now garnered 120,000 signatures.
