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?
This show has me rolling laughing the whole time. I DVR all the episodes so I can re-watch them when I want to laugh. Love that family’s quirky dynamic, his parents, so frigging funny. CBS is making a grave mistake cancelling this show. I was waiting for this season so not very patiently and want the show to continue with more antics and laughs on what Adam and Don, Andi and Marci, and Beverly and Joe will bring us. Don’t cancel.
The show is extremely entertaining with the interaction between the characters. Every character adds to the show. The two brother’s relationship is hilarious with each playing off of the other. Stacy Keach is a hoot as the father. Each week brings fresh material. I’m at a loss as to why CBS would cancel the show. We record every show. I can’t say that about many. I compare Man With a Plan to Last Man Standing. Every week is good entertainment. Maybe Fox will pick up Man With a Plan and televise those two shows back to back.
I am so sorry that Man with a Plan will not be renewed for a 5th season. I record every show so I can watch it over and over. “Adam and Andi” make a great pair and I’m going to be so very sorry to see the show end. I do hope you will reconsider.
Love man with a plan and watching the new season!!!so sick of reality shows!! this was refreshing . So sad they cancelled season 5
We enjoy it and would watch a new season.
Man with a plan:
What a great comedy with an excellent cast and good writers!!
You can’t say that about many programs nowadays. How sad for families that want to enjoy a tv show together.
HOPE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND CBS, do it for the children and their families!!!!!!
This show and THE NEIGHBORHOOD are the ONLY shows I ever watch on CBS! I can’t believe they are cancelling Man With a Plan! What a stupid move for CBS! The show is funny and the acting is superb! Someone is making a HUGE mistake! Matt is one of the best actors around! Hope he lands a gig on NBC or ABC!
Really enjoyed this show. Sorry to see it’s cancelled.
I love Man with a Plan and that is probably why it got cancelled.
Could not wait for Man With a Plan to start this season. Matt and Liza are enduring and witty! Why would they cancel such a well written show? Huge BUMMER
Love man with a plan. Should have got rid of the goofy unicorn show instead
We loved this show! with all the crap on television these days it was refreshing to watch a show that was funny and entertaining
Great show….would totally watch a season 5!
I so enjoyed this show, watched it faithfully and promoted it on social media. It was funny, well acted and well written! I also rewatched old episodes when nothing else was on! Bring this show back!
This is one of the few funny shows on TV. I’m really disappointed to see it dropped.
My wife and I are not happy about this. As is usual with most of the limited ‘regular’ TV shows we like, a good comedy goes away, and in this instance a good comedy that served as a welcome distraction from everything else going on. Yet another reason why ‘regular’ TV sucks and why won’t watch much anymore.
