Mandy Baxter’s extreme makeover is complete. Last Man Standing has tapped Molly McCook (The Ranch) to play Tim Allen’s middle daughter in the upcoming Fox revival, replacing original portrayer Molly Ephraim. Additionally, black-ish guest star Jet Jurgensmeyer is taking over the role of Boyd (aka Mike’s grandson) from former cast member Flynn Morrison.

I think LSM can hide her hair color but according to imdb.com Molly McCook is 5'10" and Molly Ephraim is 5'1". Not sure how they can hide the difference in height.

It’s going to be hard to replace her. She had great timing and played her part beautifully. Why didn’t she come back?

I neverheard of either one of these young women. . . but I see that the McCook girl is the daughter of Laurette Spang fo Battlestar Galactica fame. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0816783/?ref_=nmbio_trv_1 Here’s a photo of her in her heyday: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0816783/mediaviewer/rm2677035008

“We Want Both Sides to Think It’s Funny” - Somebody tell Tim Allen that liberals/progressives don’t have a sense of humor; it’s one of the things that endears them to... no one.

“When the show was cancelled… [Molly Ephraim] got involved in some different things, so when [Last Man Standing] came back, she was not able to do it,” he explained.

At least Trailer Park Boys didn’t need a laugh track to let you know when a joke succeeded in being funny.

“It’s going to be hard to replace her”

That’s for sure. The former Mandy was terrific. Great comedy talent.

They replaced the eldest daughter after season one, and that turned out to be an improvement. A new Mandy, though? Say it ain’t so.

I think they would have been better off to have the new girl be a cousin or something and leave open the possibility of Mandy returning. She could always be away at school or in Paris studying design

They may share the same first name, but Ephraim is irreplaceable. She was a remarkable actress morphing in seconds from the insane Valley Girl ditz to the entrepreneurial businesswoman to the sweetest gal with an unexpected heart of gold. I loved watching her in role.

...or move to NYC to managemher growing clothing business. She could have found time for a couple of cameo appearances.

The cameos by the old Tooltime cast were hysterically funny.

That makes a lot more sense. Trying to reserve judgment until we see the new Mandy.

Huh? I thought she was real pretty and a great figure. The oldest sister was no Cinderella.
