    I loved his show Episodes so I was really disappointed in this. He played a wonderful role in Episodes, I truly thought he wouldn't do anything as bad as Pucks ( the tv show in the tv show Episodes).

    I hope Matt LeBlanc's plan is to find a television show that is actually entertaining to watch because this new show is light years away from being entertaining.

    It is a series with nothing theme relevant. There is nothing funny because it seems a mixture of other programs that also failed. Nothing groundbreaking.

    I'll admit it. I don't like Matt LeBlanc. I thought he played a serviceable idiot on Friends but I just don't buy him in any other roles. When I heard he was co-hosting Top Gear I just knew the series was a goner. You can always tell your watching a bad show by the delivery of the actors. It's almost like they're wincing as the words come out of their mouths. Kevin Nealon's talentsI'll admit it. I don't like Matt LeBlanc.

The kids are the most interesting part of the show. CBS is usually slow on the trigger when it comes to canceling shows but I don't see how this mess can possibly survive.… Expand

    This is hands down the greatest TV show ever created. Le Blanc is on point, his prowess on full display. The set is gorgeous, I found myself pausing the show just to admire it. The writing is unbelievably good, I laughed so hard I had to change my underwear three times in one episode. The moral of the story is: This show is super great.

    Matt LeBlanc is just not believable in this role. I mean he could just phone it in and be the same. I really expected his character to shout "Yo, I'm Joey" a few times. I mean Matt just stands there and speaks his lines. No movement; no emotion -- just another one dimensional Joey from friends. I think the thing that irked me was the arguing with the kindergarten teacher - over andMatt LeBlanc is just not believable in this role. I mean he could just phone it in and be the same.

    The story of this TV show may be pretty far from being original, but it's a very kind and funny with pleasant characters. Have no idea why there are so many negative reviews here.

    Imagine that this particleboard sitcom is in fact part of a lost season of Showtime’s “Episodes,” in which “Matt LeBlanc” (played by LeBlanc, in a nicely meta turn) winds up landing yet another sitcom that exists mainly to employ actors, writers and producers--and thus consciously squanders all the critical goodwill he gained by playing a version of himself on an ironic premium cable comedy.

    Man with a Plan is unable to render its primary characters’ internal frustrations or anxieties as anything other than an engine for tired sitcom plots.

    Not only is the series uncomfortably dated and anti-equality, but it’s also criminally unfunny. The canned laughter is almost entirely unearned and usually revolves around predictable wordplay instead of, you know, jokes.
