'Man With a Plan' Season 2 Air Date, Spoilers: Victoria Justice Guest Stars in Matt LeBlanc Sitcom
Matt LeBlanc's sitcom on CBS charts an early return on Monday, Nov. 13, following a scheduling shakeup on the network. "Man With a Plan" season 2 wasn't supposed to premiere until 2018 but CBS announced that the show will be back to take over the slot for the freshman series "Me, Myself and I."
Monday's premiere episode of "Man With a Plan" season 2 will have Adam (LeBlanc) and his wife Andi (Liza Snyder) dealing with a young and good-looking babysitter. "Victorious" star Victoria Justice will play Sophia, who also has the hots for Adam.
Andi, meanwhile, will grow more jealous of Sophia for a different reason. Her teenage daughter, Kate (Grace Kaufman), prefers the babysitter's advice than her mom's and this will bother Andi more than Sophia's flirtation with Adam.
CBS renewed "Man With a Plan" for season 2 over the summer but the network originally scheduled its return for mid-season or early 2018. LeBlanc wasn't especially pleased with this schedule initially.
"What about the audience we built?" LeBlanc stated in an interview with USA Today. "I want to be a team player, but I feel like the network doesn't have my back."
The network, however, decided to premiere LeBlanc's series earlier than its original schedule as the new show "Me, Myself and I" performed poorly in the Monday time schedule. The latter has been pulled out of the schedule.
LeBlanc made a name for himself on television as one of the big stars of "Friends" and Showtime's "Episodes." The actor earned multiple Emmy nominations as an actor for his work in these comedies. The actor is also executive producer of "Man With a Plan," which Jackie Filgo and Jeff Filgo created.
"The concept I had in mind was 'Everybody Loves Raymond' meets 'Mad About You,'" LeBlanc said. "It's not so much about the kids. It's an adult show, it's about parenting for parents."
"Man With a Plan" returns on CBS beginning Monday, Nov. 13, at 8:30 p.m. EST.
