Caught the pilot of this new ABC show.
You can really see MODERN FAMILY's influence on ABC. This and HAPPY ENDINGS go for that same zany, bouncy feel with the tender moments just underneath the surface. The problem with MAN UP! is, the tender moments never materialize and the zanniness feels forced.
Craig's character is a joke. Is there anyone remotely like that in real life? When you're tailoring your characters to the punchline, the comedy will fall flat.
Will is miscast. He doesn't have enough appeal.
Everything I've ever seen Dan Fogler do seems forced. Yet, he's the most charismatic out of the three leads.
This series is doomed.
