Man Up! Premieres on ABC on October 18, 2011

Three modern men try to get in touch with their inner tough guys and redefine what it means to be a "real man" in this funny and relatable comedy.

Will's grandfather fought in WWII. Will's father fought in Vietnam. Will plays Call of Duty on his PS3 and drinks non-dairy hazelnut creamer. So what happened to all the real men? They're still here -- they just smell like pomegranate body wash now. Meet Will (Mather Zickel). His evolved, sensitive nature is why his awesome wife, Theresa (Teri Polo), married him. But Will and his friends find themselves wondering -- in a world of Axe ads and manscaping -- what does it really mean to be a guy anymore? Will is more interested in finding the perfect gift for his son Nathan's (Jake Johnson) 13th birthday than in doing his job selling insurance; sensitive soul Craig (Christopher Moynihan) still pines for his college ex, Lisa; and Kenny (Dan Fogler) clamps down on his anger and asks himself, "What would Tobey Maguire do?," when his ex, Brenda (Amanda Detmer), starts seeing a guy (Henry Simmons) who is everything he's not and much better looking. After Craig crashes Lisa's wedding to try to win her back, they are all faced with an opportunity to Man Up and be like their forefathers.

Well not a great opener but very watchable.

Kenny getting jealous when his ex-wife, Brenda brought Grant to the party was amusing and Craig crashing Lisa's wedding to try to win her back was crazy but Grant knocking the guys over was great

codebreaker

Theresa's face when Lucy was dancing around the flag pole was priceless considering Brenda had just got her a henna tattoo or as her mother said a tramp stamp

Hi guys,

When Kenny introduces the Star Wars video he sings this Yee Haa Yee Hoo theme......Do you know if this theme is taken from somewhere ?

Thank you :O)

codebreaker

I don't have a clue but would of thought it was linked to George Lucas

codebreaker

Brenda and Grant ghosting in pottery class was amusing but you can understand why she put it on the back burner after the eating and teeth cleaning

codebreaker

Will getting the wrong idea when Theresa laughed at the thought of him having an affair was amusing and who would of thought Kenny would get a second date after walking out on the first one

codebreaker

I'm not surprised that Kenny was nervous about meeting his new girlfriend Jane's parents considering her parents are lesbians and also therapists but her parents also owning a coffee shop and end up giving Craig a music gig there which was interesting, Theresa installs the tracking device on Will's cell phone was priceless

codebreaker

This has now been added to Realplayer site

codebreaker

There is no way i would invite the mother of the kid that was bullying Nathan to lunch but after seeing his father you know were he gets it from and lying to the teacher to get a date with her was always going to backfire

codebreaker

The competition over the gluten free diet was interesting and Craig and Kenny trying to romance the two ladies who work at Big Burger drive-thru was amusing but swapping seats between windows was over the top

codebreaker

You just knew Will getting a chick for Lucy wouldn't be plain sailing but in such a short time it became an expensive bird

codebreaker

You just knew that when Will installed a new home security system there would be consequences but the kids played being scared great

codebreaker

Brenda out bidding Kenny was amusing but what the guys did to get dibs on Kelly was priceless and the girl stuck in the plant pot was funny

codebreaker

The way they played Nathan up when he wanted to go to bed early was amusing but not when the kids were sick after eating pie and Theresa sleepwalking naked from the waist down was priceless

codebreaker

Lucy asking her mother for chocolate ice cream for not telling her the bad words her father said was amusing and Becki and Craig was interesting but her views on women was disturbing and what the guys were doing because of the car was ridiculous

codebreaker

Craig pretending to be gay was amusing but it was to save his job when Will's boss wants to fire him

codebreaker
