Tim Allen is no longer the "Last Man Standing."

The sitcom starring the Michigan actor is among a handful of shows cancelled by ABC last week.

The show, which ran for six seasons, starred Allen as a "quintessential man's man" who often cracked jokes about President Barack Obama and the prevalence of political correctness in today's world.

Due to the conservative nature of the show and Allen's tendency to openly criticize Hollywood for its prevailing liberal views, many are pointing to politics, not failing ratings, as the reason for the cancellation.

However, in a conference call Tuesday to announce ABC's fall schedule, entertainment president Channing Dungey said that's not the case.

She said "Last Man Standing" was canceled for "business and scheduling reasons," and a big part of her job is to "make the tough calls and cancel shows we would love to have on."

"Last Man Standing" finished its sixth season in March. It averaged a solid 8.1 million viewers per week, according to Deadline, trailing only Modern Family," which averaged 8.7 million viewers this season, in the comedy category.

Allen recently took to Twitter to react to the cancellation saying he was "stunned and blindsided."

The often-outspoken Allen was the subject of controversy following a March appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in which he compared Hollywood to 1930s Germany.

The comments came after Kimmel asked Allen about his decision to attend President Donald Trump's inauguration.

"You've got to be real careful around here you know, you get beat up" Allen told the host. "If you don't believe what everybody believes, it's like 30s Germany. I don't know what happened."

Steven Goldstein, director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, promptly blasted the actor for the comparison.

Allen's fans have started a Change.org petition calling for ABC to reinstate the show. More than 238,000 people have signed the petition.

'The Real O'Neals,' 'Dr. Ken,' 'The Catch,' and 'American Crime,' were also cancelled by ABC.
