The actors are likable, including the Ty Burrell-y Zickel, but this is familiar bromantic terrain.
It's all about their attitudes, and on that front, Man Up! is a downer.
Male characters are incompetent but lovable, and their wives nagging but wise, as if both groups had been snatched straight out of ads for beer and yogurt, respectively.
Man Up!, to its credit, is the better of the three: it's at least scantly funnier than the retro Last Man Standing, and the upcoming cross-dressing comedy, Work It, will make Last Man Standing look like Mamet.
Subtlety is not this show's strong suit. That lack of tonal balance dooms the show.
Allen's show may be a clone of "Home Improvement," but it's somewhat watchable. Man Up just isn't.
No show in the history of television has more relentlessly defamed the male gender as ABC's Man Up!, an alleged sitcom that debuts Tuesday and with any luck will be dead and buried, along with its producers, by Wednesday.
