Adam has been operating under the assumption that his three children are little angels, but when his wife decides to rejoin the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom for 13 years, and he starts taking on more of the parenting responsibilities, he's quickly disavowed of that notion. Kate, a preteen, is a master manipulator and excited to take advantage of her father's naivete; Teddy spends too much time with his hands down his pants; and Emme frets over school. After recovering from the initial shock -- and with the advice of equally stressed parents Marie and Lowell -- Adam is confident he can lay down the law and keep the house in order.

Critics Consensus

Man with a Plan's flawed, unimaginative writing fails to properly showcase the charm of its unfortunately underperforming lead.

"Man With a Plan" is one of those shows that, when you reach to shut it off, the person on the other side of the hospital curation divider will feebly font, "Hey, I was watching that." Go to Full Review Katie Dyson Slant Magazine 10/31/2016
1.5/4
Instead of deflating myths of modern masculinity, Man with a Plan doubles down on them. Go to Full Review Allison Keene Collider 10/27/2016
1/5
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. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 10/25/2016

Ed R @JustcallmeER Oct 19 Very hard watch with lack luster humor. See more Liam P Aug 31 Man with a Plan’s “dumb dad” trope is dated, lacking wit, edge, and creative ambition. See more Brad B @Brad2329 Aug 28 Jokes can be edgy and close to inappropriate. Just the way I like them! See more Princess L Aug 15 It makes me laugh and isn’t that the point? I’m really surprised it got such low ratings. I really have been enjoying watching it. Like I said I laugh. See more Ace T 12/08/2024 It feels like every joke gives you a little bit of brain damage, then the laugh track gives you even more. Absolutely terrible. The fact shows like this somehow even get to 4 seasons, but sometimes absolutely fantastic shows can't get more than 1 or 2 hurts to think about. It's a lot like the rest of the world though. Mediocrity is really what rises to the top in every part of life; look at city designs, building or cars, electronics, etc. The most medicore get done/made the most even though something much better could be done for similar money/materials/effort but saving a day or a few bucks is better than making something good. See more L V 07/12/2024 Boring. The teacher is annoying. See more Read all reviews
