robertdknight This show is funny! I was able to watch all of them in sequence, online. They did a great job of casting these relative unknown actors. I thought the scripts were very funny. I enjoyed how each actor brought their unique quirkiness to the mix. Since the show only lasted one season (online), there wasn't time to introduce other characters (some of the parents, for example) or to fully exploit the dynamic between the main cast. Most of the story lines were very believable and easy to relate to. The cast was also likable. Was very disappointed to learn that it had been canceled. It's a shame. This show was worth continuing. I will buy the DVD collection once it becomes available. If you haven't checked it out ... go for it.
brandonsullivan91 Man Up is funny! It doesn't insult you with canned studio audience laughter. It provides fresh characters with depth and emotions. No cardboard cutouts spitting out punch lines, instead there is creative banter, which I suspect much of it is improvisation.Fast moving plots keep boredom far away and the laughter rolling. This has moved up into the ranks of "The Office" for me. I really really enjoy this show and I hope ABC doesn't cancel it.I am trying to figure out why it is only a 6 so far on the user ratings??? It is silly, but it is very witty. If you haven't watched it I would recommend giving it a shot!
tullydesign This show is funny and I am totally impressed with each of the show themes so far! I can really relate being a 42, I mean 43 year old guy with a family. Thank god for this show as it gives me and my wife tons of laughs every time I have watched it! Nice to see a smart comedy that is centered around the middle aged family and man or normal type of divorced or single guy. I have to say that this show is a hilarious TV comedy in the mix of all of the garbage out there. So far I have seen 5 episodes so I haven't missed an episode yet! Please don't cancel it ABC, it would be a big mistake! I can't wait to see what happens next in the seasons to come.
paranoidkarma I started watching this show with my expectations set on low, but Man Up really surprised me. This show is about a group men that talk about their life, Will (Mather Zickel) who is married with Theresa (Teri Polo) have as best friends Kenny (Dan Fogler) who is Theresa brother, and Craig (Christopher Moynihan); to the mix you can add that Kenny ex wife Bridgette (Amanda Detmer) is Theresa best friend and her new boyfriend Grant (Henry Simmons) is introduced to the men group, but when Will, Kenny and Craig are grow up "nerds", Grant is the opposite of them. Every episode has a different subject but you can watch the little "nuances" about late 70's early 80's people, from a lot of Starwars references to gaming syntax.I think you need to watch this show if you are from 25 to 40 years old.
