I thought the DX Assoc membership would enjoy the upcoming TV show.

Comedian Tim Allen stars as a radio amateur, Mike Baxter, KA0XTT, in the
new ABC TV show Last Man Standing produced by John Amodeo NN6JA.
Tim Allen -- star of Home Improvement, Toy Story, The Santa Clause and
Galaxy Quest, just to name a few -- stars in Last Man Standing, an ABC
comedy airing at 8 PM (EST) on Tuesday nights.
Allen plays Mike Baxter, KA0XTT, a married father of three and the
director of marketing at an outdoor sporting goods store in Colorado
whose life is dominated by women. While Amateur Radio has not been
prominently featured in the first episodes, according to John Amodeo,
NN6JA -- the producer of Last Man Standing -- it is a part of the show
and an important part of Mike’s character.
The episode that will establish Mike as a radio amateur is currently
scheduled to air in mid-January.
In the show he uses an ICOM IC-9100 HF/6 meter/2 meter transceiver and
an IC-92AD handheld transceiver.
