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?
Love this show one of few cbs comedy left great cast makes me laugh every time.
Bring It Back – too funny!!
Keep this entertaining family show. Funny reference to family issues
love this show, especially the one where dad won’t let his daughter date someone he suspects of smoking pot and in turn gets himself high by accident. laughed so hard the whole time
Love this show. Glad it will not be cancelled like other shows.
Love the show. Great chemistry! Don’t cancel
Great show. Seems to get better and everyone cast is great. Please keep the show, its one of the few I watch anymore.
please please can we have more seasons!!! i have been searching for a new great series to watch for so long until i found “a man with a plan”, i binge watched it and only after i noticed there isn’t a season 3. the best part of this is that people want FRIENDS ever since it ended and having Matt play in this series brings you a little closer to heaven.
Liza is the best!!! She is the perfect blend of sass and smarts. She keeps Matt on his toes. They play well off each other, each show gets better. Keep it!!
Great show! my favorite new comedy!
Great show, love the whole cast!
Love this show so much! Love Matt and Liza!
Love this show. I think it is one of the best comedy shows on since (Mike and Molly which i still don’t get why it was taken off) I think the whole family dynamics is great love that parents brought in mix. Love the husband and wife banter. So true it is abut commit good or bad, Hope its renewed.
Love the show, it’s one of my favorite…beats Kevin can wait, hands down.
Definitely a show that should stay. First few episodes were a bit meh but the later, the better it got, I also like that its not just centered about that preschool anymore. It’s really good and it can easily go for 10 seasons or more!
I love this show please renew is for season 3 season 4 season 5 season 6 ….. 🙂
This show is awesome. Its simple, realistic and relatable. I watched it after a lot of people were commenting about it on Chinese social media (weibo).This show is getting its craze in China recently. Dads are going to love it!
