Without ratings, how could we know besides speculation?

Not a fan of Last Man Standing, but I'm looking forward to giving Man with a Plan a try.

But it goes directly against what you were saying. Both are well under 100 episodes.

Man with a Plan still has 27 more episodes than A.P. Bio. I never said 100 episodes, 88 replaced that as the standard awhile ago. A.P. Bio was a total disaster on NBC that got moved off linear TV.

I wonder if they'll add stuff like Modern Family, Superstore, The Office (this one may be complicated with cable rights), The Conners, etc. They still seem to be mainly working with Disney (Last Man Standing is 20th Fox, now owned by Disney); however Man with a Plan is from CBS... I guess we'll see!

The Conners is going to be going into local syndication in 2024 so I doubt it will be on Laff anytime soon.

Man with a Plan has 69 episodes, not 88.

I really like Man with a Plan.

LAFF should acquire George Lopez (his 2000s ABC sitcom) next. It looks that show is expiring from TBS with their new schedule, needs a new TV home. George Lopez would fit in well with According to Jim and Man With a Plan.

i wish they bring empty nest back and add Dave's World with Harry anderson

Besides TeenNick which gets very sparse coverage, Boy Meets World hasn't aired anywhere on either cable or broadcast TV in way too long. Several other TGIF shows have aired elsewhere, but not one that is still remembered well by many with stuff like the Pod Meets World podcast. Betsy Randle recurred on Home Improvement before joining Boy Meets World. It would really be nice for LAFF to get it. This is a good weekday schedule for LAFF that includes their soon to be current roster/shows they have aired recently and the two shows I mentioned. The cheap video reality shows which I am glad to see have already been removed from afternoons would be reduced to weekend filler.

6-7AM That 70s Show
7-8AM Last Man Standing
8-9AM Home Improvement
9-11AM The Doris Day Show
11AM-12PM ALF
12-2PM According to Jim
2-3PM Man With a Plan- I like this show but 2 hours a day is a bit much for 69 episodes.
3-5PM Boy Meets World
5-7PM Home Improvement
7-9PM Last Man Standing
9-11PM That 70s Show
11PM-12:30AM George Lopez
12:30-1:30AM Everybody Hates Chris
1:30-2:30AM Grounded for Life
2:30AM ALF
3-6AM Infomercials

Empty Nest would be great to see come back on LAFF.

Man With a Plan has been a fun addition to LAFF. Matt LeBlanc and Liza Snyder have great chemistry.

Hope LAFF is paying less for Last Man Standing than it did for Home Improvement since LMS is basically a less funny rehash of HI.
