A contractor, whose wife goes back to work, starts spending more time with his kids, only to find out that parenting is harder than he thought. He has to transition from being a dad who occasionally plays with his three kids to being a dad who has a hands-on, lunch-making, rule-enforcing role in raising his children.
Man with a Plan just makes you wish he'd take his sincere befuddlement elsewhere, someplace that mattered. Simply put, Matt LeBlanc is too good to be this irrelevant.
As the series settles into itself hopefully the writing will switch gears... There's plenty of comedy to be mined... Until it does, it's hard to say why this is worth your time.
There are opportunities here for something more interesting than what develops, which is laced with needlessly crass jokes and (no real humor), but the show clearly has no plans to explore that.
LeBlanc does what he can with the role, but the writing is so far below the bar set by Friends, it's almost unfair of Man With a Plan to beg a comparison.
Seeing LeBlanc in Man With a Plan hurts more than when he tried to take Joey out on his own. At least that spinoff focused on a likable guy who knew he was a dumb-dumb.
