Baxter is the television newscaster's "furry sidekick" in the sequel. Perhaps the most well-known Baxter in pop culture today is the furry co-star in the Will Ferrell comedy Anchorman 2: The Story of Ron Burgundy. Therefore, we will focus on the name "Baxter" as our spotlight name. Baxter is a darling name for the most elegant of pooches at the same time, Baxter fits the most rambunctious pup. The diverse Baxter family is the catalyst for a message that promotes unity among even the most wide-ranging of beliefs.

Mandy, Mike's middle daughter is a fashionista who wishes to launch her own business, while their youngest daughter Eve joins the military and is a staunch conservative much like her father. The rest of the Baxter clan is just as eclectic. In a world of political divisiveness that seems to separate people, Mike and Ryan respectfully debate one another and come to agreements due to their mutual love for Mike's eldest daughter and his grandson, Boyd. Mike and Ryan spar constantly over issues such as the environment, religious beliefs, and various political leaders. Not to be outdone, Mike's character is highly contrasted with his son-in-law, Ryan (Mike is highly admired and emulated by his second son-in-law, Kyle). He is a politically conservative business owner, but Baxter's character has some awesome foils in that of his liberal-leaning wife and eldest daughter. Mike Baxter is the lead character in the hit television sitcom, Last Man Standing.
