Matt LeBlanc should've stick with "Pucks" since it was funnier than this show.
Remove the wife and the show is moderately funny.
There wouldn't be any reason for this to bother with it if not for Matt LeBlanc. Yet you shouldn't. It gets worse with each episode and has no merits to keep watching - besides Matt. How he got from Episodes to this is flabbergasting.
We see each and every clichéd (sitcom) trope there is. There's nothing, really nothing we haven't seen before somewhere else in tiring amounts already. This includes the characters as well. As soon as the trope of the week is set up you know how it will play out. Boringness entails.
But worse of them all is the prevalent sexism of late 80s / early 90s sitcoms in the marriage of our main characters.
Andi, the wife, is always right and Adam, the husband, is always the idiot who has to do everything to make the wife happy.
Andi is unlikable and a manipulating a-hole abusing her surroundings to get her way. Usually to the expense of the husband. She is toxic and so is the marriage. I don't think there's anything funny about this.
While Liza Snyder plays that manipulating, unlikable character in a believable way, I don't think that's a compliment here. How she was cast into this makes no sense to me.
It does what a sitcom does... stereotypes, clichés, a few laughs. I mean that's why you watch it right? Some brainless viewing while you are doing more important stuff. And this show does it perfectly
Just Hilarious
Man with a plan is so hilarious each episode keeps getting better and better I defiantly recommend a watch.
Pretty good show. Not a classic by any means, but it provides you with a fair amount of laughs every week. Kevin Nealon is AWESOME! Him and Matt play off of each other so well. Liza Snyder is pretty funny too.
No season 5 :(
But I do not want to say more than 5 words. I guess I do now.
Consistently good, never great...or even really good. I enjoyed it, but its the most brand store version of a good sitcom I have ever seen. It checks all the boxes it has to in order to be watchable, but doesn't strive for more. There is definitely a reason the show was canceled after four seasons, but again, it was consistently fine and an easy watch as a sitcom. I can really only recommend it IF you've watched all other sitcoms you want to watch.
Average Season Review: 7/10
Recommendation: Skip (For Family Sitcom Fans)
I am so disappointed that the show was canceled! I really liked it! :sob:
Watched the trailer for this... didn't laugh once. My hopes are not high for this show.

Typical american family comedy. A few laughs, a chuckle and lesson learnt.
