She played Mandy Baxter, and fans fell in love with her character in no time. Mike Baxter (Tim Allen) joked that he liked Mandy’s new look. The show praised its “loyal, kick-ass fans,” and quipped that Mandy “changed something about herself.” Whether fans will eventually find the new Mandy “way better” and stop begging the old Mandy Baxter to return remains to be seen. On the screen, she plays a relatively boring character who possesses some invaluable qualities which come alive when necessary.

“Oh, Mike. They don’t just take a show off one network and put it on a different one.” The jabs against ABC continued, with the characters calling Fox a “way better” network.
