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 hope this show is renewed, I thoroughly enjoy the program & humor it provides with the family content. Thank you CBS
I hope this show is renewed. It is one of those few hilariously entertaining shows where they don’t have cursing or offensive innuendos. Reminds me of the sitcoms from days gone by.
I thought last night’s episode was the best so far. Matt Leblanc and Kevin Nealon are getting better and better. I hope it is renewed.
Love Matt Leblanc and the cast. Wish it was a little less predictable.
Can’t stand canned laughter.
Pretty funny show, it’s growing on me, but Kevin Nealon just call Adam “Matt” during valentine episode (2/13/17) when they are in restaurant. Maybe so done in the editing booth should be cancelled.
I think man with a plan is a great show. I’ve always enjoyed Mat Leblanc and think he is a funny funny man
I absolutely love this show and hope this continues for a long time, the chemistry is great. Love Joey
Love this show , Is it over now ?
Love the show!
Please keep man with a plan
Love the show
This show is awesome and there is great chemistry amongst the cast!!!!!
VERY FUNNY best show in a long time Mat LaBlank is hilarious
I want to love this show but the writing is a little too formula. It has its funny moments and I hope it stays on but with more creativity. The cast gives it great possibilities!
I like formula because it brings me back to a later time.
Love, Love, Love this show – the best. Extremely funny! Please don’t cancel
Love this show!
