I just watched all four seasons of Man with a Plan becuase it was funny enough to keep going!
I laughed more than I expected to most episodes, which surprised even me. I'm a Matt LeBlanc fan from his Friends days (which is the only reason I gave this show a look) and he does a good job as a family dad, the exact opposite of Joey Tribbiani...now he has to protect his teenage daughter FROM the Joey tribbianis of the world!
Kevin Nealon Plays the brother and although his lines are often the best ones in any given episode, his toupee is very off-putting (he was more bald in the 1987 movie Roxanne, when he attacks steve Martin in the opening 5m!)
Stacy Keach is HILARIOUS as the father of both! This guy really gets comedy acting (See: two and a half men) after a career of serious roles. He has re-invented his career in the same way Leslie Nielson did in the 80s
Even the child actors were servicable for their roles
Sadly I just learned the show was cancelled earlier in 2020 which is a real shame because there simply isn't a decent, realistic, family sitcom (with real laughs, not just actors reacting with banal dialogue) that a family can watch these days.
I find it difficult to believe more people tune into Last Man Standing, Black-ish or Bob's burgers than this show...I really wish a streaming service like HULU or NETFLIX or CBS ALL ACCESS would pick up this show and continue it, it would be worth it!
