CBS apparently has no more plans for Matt LeBlanc. The network just announced they’ve cancelled the Man with a Plan TV show so there won’t be a fifth season.
The Man with a Plan sitcom stars LeBlanc as an old-school contractor named Adam who is trying to adapt to the demands of modern family life. Now Adam and his wife, Andi (Liza Snyder), are running a house-flipping business with Adam’s quirky brother Don (Kevin Nealon) and unlikely friend Lowell (Matt Cook), with a surplus of input from Adam’s other family and friends.
Airing on Thursday nights, season four of Man with a Plan is averaging a 0.73 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.23 million viewers. Compared to season three, that’s a 16% decrease in the demo ratings and a 17% increase in general viewership. That makes Man with a Plan one of CBS‘ top-rated comedy series for the 2019-20 season.
With decent ratings, it’s unclear why Man with a Plan was cancelled. However, it’s believed that the series is an expensive one to produce so, the cost may have played a major factor in the decision.
What do you think? Do you watch Man with a Plan? Would you have watched season five of this CBS comedy series?
CBS you have a hit TV comedy where the actors all click and makes a fantastic comedy that the whole family can watch together. There’s so much violent tv shows on thats not suitable for family entertainment so why the heck are you axing a definite winner. Saying it’s too expensive to produce is a total crock when I count the numerous commercials you have sold and numerous big corporate sponsors for the show per episode. You know my family still watches The Waltons after all these years. Why? Because its wholesome family entertainment that teaches values and the proper… Read more »
This cancellation hurts a bunch. This is one of the few sitcoms I actually missed during the offseason. CBS please reconsider your decision to cancel it. I can understand cancelling Broke as that was an awful show, but Man With a Plan is funny, poignant and cheerful. Matt LeBlanc playing the lovable everyman goof is actually believable; specially by his fans from the days of Friends.
Please, please, please reconsider bringing back this show for a fifth season.
I have found ‘Man with a Plan’ to be well-written and well-acted. And it’s funny. We need this show and more like it. CBS made a big mistake in cancelling it! Please change your mind and bring it back for more seasons.
It’s unfortunate that once again a comedy is cancelled which is doing well for a network. We are stuck with only watching reality shows which are so cheap to produce. Looking at the list of programs being renewed, I’m considering cancelling tv all together. Not everyone is interested in watching drama, who sleeps with who, who is chosen to get married or run off to an island for adventure. Man with a Plan had a great cast and I hope, CBS will have a change of heart. Matt did a great job also as executive producer. It’s always about money!!… Read more »
So sorry it is cancelled…very funny show!!
Please pkease don’t cancel this show. It is so family friendly timely and funny with a fantastic cast of characters. There are way too many reality and crime shows. We need something that makes us laugh and there arnt enough shows with healthy married couples
By the way, Adam also has a plan to get you fired!
Whoever cancelled this show is in big trouble because I thought they had good jokes and who would get rid of that show that made good ratings and very funny characters. Matt LeBlanc did so well on this show and everybody else did also! Whoever cancelled this well written comedy, Adam the construction man is coming after you!
Please DO NOT, cancel this show. Its one of the most decent family shows we have. Other than Tim Allen’s show nothing else is very good. PLEASE, PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISION.
Hate the cancelled Man with a Plan…great family show….I was definitely looking forward to season 5…please reconsider!!
I truly love this show. I was so disappointed when it was not on the fall schedule. Please don’t cancel it
I watch all 4 seasons and often laughed out loud… love Matt. Please don’t cancelnit.
I think this show needs to stay on the air. It plays to a crowd with a base of funny reality. Matt Leblanc has finally found a niche in a sitcom that works very well for him. A good family comedy the entire family can actually watch. Such a bad decision.
I’m very disappointed to learn “Man with a Plan” is being cancelled! I enjoy the whole adult cast. The kids aren’t on enough to get attached to them but I am a fan of each adult, especially Matt and Liza. Family shows are scarce so I hate that this one will be gone from my viewing schedule. Please reconsider!!!!
I have watched Man with a Plan all 5 seasons. Why would you cancel a show that works? What else you got? Very disappointed!!
