ABC Pulls Comedy “Man Up!”

ABC has officially pulled its Tuesday comedy 'Man Up!' which stars Mather Zickel, Dan Fogler and Christopher Moynihan.  

The show, which had a decent outing last week with a usually impressive 8.8 million viewers, has struggled heavily in gaining a following amongst the marketing favorite 18 - 49 year olds. Moreover the show was losing more than half of its lead-in audience from Tim Allen's 'Last Man Standing'.

The empty hole will be immediately filled with Allen re-runs.  The studio won't officially say that the show has been cancelled, wanting the option of using the remaining unaired episodes to plug into gaps that might surface over the holiday break.  But let's be honest ... this show is done!

About Stephen Davis

Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
