Tim Allen's "Last Man Standing" might be resurrected by Fox for the new TV season, TV Line reported Thursday.

A year after the surprise cancellation by ABC of the quirky conservative hit, Allen has signed a deal for a potential Season 7 — and talks are underway with key cast members from the original show to join him, TV Line reported.

Allen has not been shy about his theory the original show was axed because of its conservative point-of-view, saying last year he wanted his character on the show to be like Archie Bunker played by Carroll O'Connor on "All in the Family."

"There's nothing more dangerous to me, especially in this climate, than a funny, likable conservative," Allen told the "Norm Macdonald Live" podcast.

"That was the most dangerous thing, because he's mitigated on the show by a family of all women that had different opinions, but the guy was a likable guy and really a principled guy just about work, and ethics, and all this stuff."

ABC's top exec, Channing Dungey, disputed the claim, however, insisting the sitcom was axed after "we made the decision not to continue with comedies on Friday," TV Line reported.

According to TV Line, cable network CMT had been in preliminary talks with owner 20th Century Fox TV to rescue the series, but those talks eventually fell apart over money.

But the runaway success of ABC's "Roseanne" revival prompted 20th to reassess a resurrection for "Last Man Standing," and Fox, in need of a comedy hit, was the logical place, TV Line reported.
