CBS extends all its freshman sitcoms about dopey, clueless men
In what serves as something like Day No. 20,000 or so for the prolonged good luck of the dopey white guy on TV, CBS has announced that it’s ordering full seasons for its freshman comedies Kevin Can Wait, The Great Indoors, and Man With A Plan. Kevin James’ TV comeback had its order bumped up to 24 episodes today—a vote of confidence usually reserved only for The Big Bang Theory—while Joel McHale and Matt LeBlanc’s shows were extended to 22 episodes apiece. All told, it’s 10 more half-hours of dudes bumbling their way through childcare, rolling their eyes at those hated Millennials, and giving an exaggerated “Huh?” at concepts that drift even slightly outside their comfort zones.
