Solid Selections
Last Man Standing (ABC): New. Mike gets his grandson kicked out of preschool.
Man Up! (ABC): Series Premiere. It has three guys in different places in their relationships with women. Reminds me a lot like last seasons short-lived Traffic Light and not in a good way. This is not the worst of the new comedies that are scheduled to play at some point on ABC, but it’s not good.
