Despite all the criticisms and negative reviews, CBS has given Matt LeBlanc's "Man With A Plan," which premiered in October, a full season orders. With this, many are hoping that the sitcom will be an opportunity and a platform for "Friends" reunion.

"Man With A Plan" is a comedy series about a contractor who begins spending more time with his kids as his wife goes back to work after being a full-time mom for 13 years. But Adam (Matt LeBlanc) is blinded of the fact that it is never easy to battle with three messy children who can't live without Wi-Fi.

Previously, there were rumors that suggested CBS has decided to reunite Matt LeBlanc with his "Friends" co-star Matthew Perry. However, there were also reports that said LeBlanc disapproves the network decision since he doesn't need a "Friends" reunion to boost his fame again.

According to Deadline, "CBS has picked up six episodes from the new comedy series 'Man With A Plan,' bringing its freshman seasons to 19 episodes." The source added that the show gathered 1.9 viewers in adults ages 18-49 which is "OK" as it stay close to its "premiere ratings in Weeks 2 and 3."

There were speculations that stated in one of the show's episodes, the cast of "Friends" will get together and that fans should never miss it. Some reports said that though Matthew Perry has his own show on the same network, he will have a chance to guest on the "Man With A Plan."

Meanwhile, Jenna Fischer left her role as the leading lady in the pilot before the series had premiered due to the "chemistry" issues with the "Friends"star.

"It just wasn't the right actress for the right role, ultimately, when we saw the pilot," said CBS president Glenn Geller as reported by Digital Spy. "We think we can do better in terms of the chemistry between the two of them."

However, the source added that the CBS has considered Jenna Fischer "wonderful to work with."

CBS is yet to give its statement on these recent rumors stating that there will be a "Friends" reunion in "A Man With A Plan."
