Man with a Plan (Matt LaBlanc) on CBS


The series premiered on Monday October 24, 2016.

Wife goes back to work and husband takes larger role with kids.

It is no 'Big Bang Theory' competition but it has 'Kevin Can Wait' beat.

I thought it was terrible. One of the worst shows I've ever watched. (I feel bad for saying that.) I definitely preferred Kevin Can Wait, although I don't see either of them lasting very long.

It was OK. I'll give it a chance to establish the characters and storyline so I'll watch it for now. I racked my brain trying to figure out what comedy show the wife/mother had been in.....Yes Dear was the program.

Didn't care for it. Other than Life in Pieces I've hated every new sitcom CBS has put out lately including The Odd Couple remake and Kevin Can Wait.

Matt LaBlanc is the same character, no matter what show he is in.

This show could be named "Joey Grown Up" if he would spread a few "How you doin?"s around.

I didn't think the first episode was so bad. Maybe this show has potential.

Didn't care for it.... I don't find "man can't control kids, kids act up so it's funny" type of scenarios.
Like Kevin, I found it to be predictable and feeds too much on the lead male being portrayed as dumb, silly, etc.

I couldn't sit through it. Like another poster said, he is just Joey again. He doesn't fit in the role.
