    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.

    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.
