In its first season on CBS, Matt LeBlanc’s Man with a Plan TV show landed in about the middle of the pack, ratings-wise. Can it build up its audience in the second season, or will viewers start to drift away, as they did from The Odd Couple, starring LeBlanc’s fellow Friends vet Matthew Perry? Will Man with a Plan be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS family comedy, Man with a Plan stars LeBlanc as a contractor named Adam. The cast also includes Liza Snyder, Kevin Nealon, Stacy Keach, Grace Kaufman, Matthew McCann, Hala Finley, and Matt Cook. When Adam’s wife, Andi (Snyder), returns to work, this old-school dad has to step up his home game with the kids and finds it harder than he thought possible. Meanwhile, he’s trying to run his business with his brother, Don (Nealon), and put up with bad advice from his father, Joe (Keach). Aside from Andi, Adam’s best ally is his friend, Lowell (Cook). Still, he’s determined to “nail” this job.
