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?
ABSOLUTELY Keep this show!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man With a Plan makes my day, laugh out loud funny, it’s good for the soul to laugh. With everything negative in the world today, a good laugh is just what the doctor ordered. All the actors on the show just seems to click together making it my favorite show…
keep this comedy it is great family fun about what can really happen. Actors & Actresses are justified in their rolls and do a great job. I am at work every Monday but tape every episode just to watch it
Bring it back! Great show.
I always liked Matt and he is great in this sitcom. I like all of the actors and that is saying a lot! I like this much better than the Kevin can Wait show…that doesn’t fit Kevin at all! Give it another season, please!
This is one of the best new shows on TV. I can actually let the kids watch it with me. Very entertaining.
Love this show!! please keep it! Matt is hilarious!!
More comedy please too many show tv and movies are too violent and not entertaining but does influence so many people especially our children in such a negative and violent way with very terrible results. Lets start with decent “family values ” people need more love a much less violence.
Great show very well written very entertaining. Do not cancel
Great show, please continue
I love this show, we need more episodes.
Man With A Plan should be renewed and so should Last Man Standing. These are comedies that really make us laugh.
Love man with a plan. Not too many family shows. Cannot have someone die. Comedy, let’s keep it that way
It is one of the better shows in a long time.
I thought maybe it was cancelled and was happy to see it wasn’t, good show!
