TV show description:
This comedy series revolves around a dad who stays home to take care of the kids and discovers it’s harder than he imagined.
A contractor, Adam Burns (Matt LeBlanc) starts spending more time with his kids when his wife goes back to work and discovers a truth that parents eventually realize — their little angels are maniacs. Adam feels fully equipped to take on more parenting responsibilities while his self-assured wife, Andi (Liza Snyder), returns to the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom for 13 years.
Unfortunately, Adam is blindsided by how tough it is to wrangle three messy kids who can’t live without their electronics and Wi-Fi.
Their preteen daughter, Kate (Grace Kaufman), is a master manipulator and is initially thrilled that “Daddy Fun Times” is taking over. Middle child Teddy (Matthew McCann) can’t seem to keep his hands out of his pants — despite constant reminders. Meanwhile, the family’s youngest child is Emme (Hala Finley). She’s nervous about starting kindergarten under the stern supervision of Mrs. Rodriguez (Diana Maria Riva).
In the midst of it all, Adam’s older brother and business partner, Don (Kevin Nealon), enjoys giving him terrible advice about how to run his family. But, with Andi’s encouragement and advice from a couple of equally stressed parents — Marie (Jessica Chaffin) and Lowell (Matt Cook) — Adam takes charge of his brood, lays down the law, and comes to believe he’s going to “nail” this job.
Episode #69 — Happy Ann-RV-sary
Adam tries to give Andi the perfect 20th wedding anniversary gift by recreating their honeymoon.
First aired: June 11, 2020.
What do you think? Do you like the Man with a Plan TV show on CBS? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
I really like how this show portrays out loud what we really think and also that it’s still possible to be married & stay married because you love each other through good and bad times instead of giving up or accepting the status quo of being dysfunctional. Not to mention the craziness of what schools ask of parents these days. Hearing it come from a man makes it acceptable because men are pretty simple people. I don’t particularly care for how his brother’s marriage is portrayed. There’s just no chemistry there but he’s funny. All in all it’s great to… Read more »
Love the show. Good family entertainment plus
Matt LazBlanc is very funny. Please renew, ne
of the best comedies on tv.
I think this is a good show for the whole family, and hope to see More seasons.
I love this show,the characters are funny. I hope it is renewed. It’s one the better comedies this year.
I love this show, Matt Leblanc has such a lovable character that it just reminds me of watching Friends, I would love to see this show go on for a bit because I feel a lot of people connect with the story line:)
Love Matt LeBlanc and Kevin Nealon in the roll. But as the season is going on the teacher has gotten boring. The storyline is starting to get boring
I think it’s a great show! Matt is funny, and so is the whole cast. I really like Dianna Maria Riva. She is Beautiful!!! I liked her in that other show she was on, but that got cancelled. I really don’t like how some Networks cancel show just because the first few don’t good Numbers. Look at MASH, It got bad ratings it’s first season. But then ran for 6+ more seasons.
Love the show its about time we have shows like this on tv
Extremely relatable!! Worried the Joey factor would take centerstage in Matt Leblanc’s character….to my delight only a few Joey mannerisms come through and IT WORKS! CBS Good Job, Man with a Plan Can and Should Remain!!
Totally agree! Love the show! Love the few “Joey-isms” I’ve seen here and there.
I like it. Give it a chance
great show, love the cast, would love to see more of the kids!!! DON’T CANCEL
Awesome new show very funny a must keep show
Don’t cancel, definitely renew this show!
Terrible show.
Love this show
