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.

It was dumb it should be Cancelled Matt can do better than this show.
I love the show and it should be renewed
I love Man with a Plan! Not enough good family shows on tv. Please keep this on the air!
I really enjoy this show! It’s a fun show, and at the same time, portrays complex relationships between families and friends. On the surface it may seem like the male-female dynamic is traditional and sexist, but usually by the end of the show, equality and emotional support are expressed by Adam and Andi. Their relationship comes across as loving, even when they are driving each other crazy.
After awful “Joey”, I never thought I could enjoy watching Matt LeBlanc in anything, but I’ve been enjoying this show a great deal. The brother is hilarious. But scenery-chewing Stacy Keach has to go, along with Swoosie Kurtz and the brother’s horrible wife.
Awesome comedy ! Please keep it on the air !! Not enough good programs like this !!!
Love this show! Where is the new season?
We love this show! Don’t take it off.
