"Man Up"
Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. on ABC

This is another of ABC's 2011 "male angst" sitcoms. It follows Tim Allen's dreadful (but predictably popular) "Last Man Standing," and while "Man Up" isn't very good, I think it's much better than "Last Man Standing."

It's essentially about some guys who apparently do not feel they behave in a manly enough fashion, whatever that is supposed to be. The premise is just as ridiculous as the one for Allen's show -- as if there is one certain way all men (or women) are supposed to behave. But I didn't cringe nearly as often as I did watching "Last Man Standing," which I realize is damning this show with faint praise.

To say something positive, Dan Fogler (second from the right) was actually funny a couple of times. He plays "angry" well, but he was the only humorous thing I saw. Keep in mind, I've only seen one episode so far. So, you know. Check it out. Or not.
