Actor Matt LeBlanc returns to TV screen through a new family comedy series "Man With A Plan." However, it doesn't seem as good as his previous show "Friends," which is still widely popular even after retiring for more than a decade. With all the criticism surrounding the show, many are hoping for a "Friends" reunion instead.

The Hollywood Reporter said that the "Man With A Plan" sitcom "had the worst initial pilot for any show launching this fall." Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly reported that hosts Jessica Shaw and Toure during the episode of "Bingeworthy" noted that the "new CBS sitcom isn't worth a binge or even a second look."

The show, created by Jeff and Jackie Fligo, is about a husband who takes over domestic responsibilities since his wife is determined to go back to work.

USA Today also said that the latest show has tired jokes which mean it has poor writing, while Deadline reported that the "Man With A Plan" has not opened spectacularly instead it started with an "OK Ratings" only.

"At 8:30 PM,the debut of "Man With A Plan(1.6) held onto its lead-in. Given the marketing campaign for the comedy, including promos during CBS' highly rated NFL football coverage, network executives probably were hoping for a bigger number. But a hold is a hold." NBC's "The Voice" led the night with 11 million viewers from 8 to 10pm.

Aside from Matt LeBlanc, "Man With A Plan" stars also include Liza Snyder as the spouse and Kevin Nealon as the brother. On the other hand, Grace Kaufman, Hala Finley and Matt Cool play as kids.

With the number of viewership gathered by the newest show, there were rumors suggesting that CBS network has decided to reunite Matt LeBlanc with his awesome buddy Matthew Perry who is filming his sitcom "The Odd Couple" to get the high ratings they really desired.

There were reports saying that LeBlanc loves to work with his former co-star again, but some reports contradcted that the actor disapproves the network decision since he doesn't need a "Friends" reunion to boost his popularity again.

These rumors, however, still need to be verified and CBS is still to give its official statement whether or not there will be a "Friends" reunion in "A Man With A Plan."
