Tim Allen’s Last Man Standing on ABC is a hit sitcom with conservative themes. Liberal executives at ABC have been trying to get Allen to tone down these themes for years now. Recently they told him to stop including discussions about Jesus on his show, but he responded by writing a beautiful scene that completely revolves around the son of God.
”I want Boyd to tell the truth because it’s the right thing to do, and not because he thinks he’s gonna be punished by an angry God,” Ryan tells Kyle. Ryan replies by accusing Kyle of taking a one-dimensional view of Christianity, but he doesn’t agree. “I never said that,” Kyle responded. “Boyd was scared that if he told you what he did, you wouldn’t love him anymore. So I said you were like my friend Jesus, and even if I do something bad, as long as I’m honest, He still loves me.”
Is this a good family lesson or is this subject matter too sensitive to be talked about on a hit TV show? You decide.
