CBS has set premiere dates for retuning comedy Man With a Plan, starring Matt LeBlanc, and new sitcom Broke, starring Jaime Camil and Pauley Perrette. Both will join the schedule on April 2, airing in the Thursday 8:30 Pm and 9:30 Pm slot, respectively.
Man with a Plan, heading into its fourth season, will succeed Unicorn while Broke will replace Carol’s Second Act after both freshmen comedies complete their runs. Unicorn and Carol’s Second Act both received five-episode back orders from CBS for a 18-episode Season 1, short of the traditional full-season 22 episodes. Both are on the bubble for renewal.

CBS has renewed “Man With a Plan,” starring Matt LeBlanc, for a fourth season.
The comedy features LeBlanc as old-school guy Adam, who begins a construction business with his wife Andi (Liza Snyder) after hitting a rough patch. Their house-flipping enterprise also involves Adam’s clueless brother (Kevin Nealon) and unlikely friend Lowell (Matt Cook).
LeBlanc executive produces the series with Jeff and Jackie Filgo, Michael Rotenberg, Troy Zien, and Gregg Mettler. CBS Television Studios also produces the show.
“Man With a Plan” began its third season on Feb. 4. It joins other shows that CBS previously renewed for the 2019-2020 slate, including “FBI,” “God Friended Me,” “Mom,” “Young Sheldon,” “Magnum, P.I.,” and the final season of “Criminal Minds.” Both “Mom” and “Young Sheldon” were renewed for two seasons each.

CBS has renewed multi-camera comedy series Man With a Plan for a fourth season.
As we noted in the CBS renewal update last night, the Matt LeBlanc starrer had been considered the most likely among the network’s bubble comedy series to score a pickup. Stay tuned for cancellation news later today.
While never a breakout, Man With a Plan has been a decent and pretty consistent ratings performer. The series has been averaging a 1.1 rating in the adults 18-49 demo and 6.3 million total viewers (most current). Additionally, the comedy comes from CBS sibling CBS TV Studios, and adding a fourth season would be beneficial to the studio as it would make the sitcom easier to sell in syndication.

CBS is using a different approach to unveiling its winter scheduling plans this year — by genre. After announcing its midseason unscripted slate yesterday, the network today is focusing on comedy.
Coming off the schedule in January/February are freshmen Murphy Brown and Happy Together; coming on are new comedy Fam and returning Man With a Plan.
CBS so far has given a Back 9 pickup for a full-season order to one new fall comedy, The Neighborhood. Like all current broadcast sitcom reboots, Murphy Brown was designed for a limited run and will wrap its freshman run with 13 episodes though its ratings delivery has been somewhat disappointing.
For Happy Together, starring Damon Wayans Jr., CBS has opted not to order additional episodes beyond the original 13. Per CBS’ standard Mo the past few years, the comedy is not canceled and will remain in contention for next season.

Updated: CBS will be bringing back Monday comedy Man with a Plan starring Matt LeBlanc. The network had not been expected to bring back all of its Monday comedies as it is looking to improve its shaky ratings performance on the night. Still up in the air is the fate of Kevin Can Wait and Superior Donuts, with at least one probably not coming back. Update: Superior Donuts has been canceled.
Man With a Plan has held steady, ranking as CBS’ second highest rated and most watched series behind Kevin Can Wait on Monday. Man with a Plan also is fully owned by CBS, it comes from CBS TV . Studios, vs. 50-50 ownership in Kevin Can Wait, which comes from Sony TV. And, with Kevin Can Wait’s ratings sliding throughout the season following the female lead recasting debacle, in the final stretch the two comedies’ ratings have been on par.
