    'Man Up' Yanked From Schedule by ABC

    "Man Up" has been shot down by ABC.

    The network has pulled the freshman comedy from its schedule, the network confirms to TheWrap. Repeats of "Last Man Standing," which has been preceding the show, will now occupy the Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. timeslot.

    Five episodes of the series remain unaired, and while the network plans to air them at a later date, there are no specifics as of yet.

    The series, which premiered to a soft 2.4 rating/6 share in the adults 18-49 demographic in October, has declined since then -- the most recent episode this week posted just a 1.6/4 in the demo, with 4.7 million total viewers.

    The writing was pretty much on the wall for the show in mid-November, when ABC released a midseason schedule with the new series "Work It" premiering in its timeslot on Jan. 3. Production on the season had already wrapped.

    The series, which was created by Christopher Moynihan, starred Moynihan, Dan Fogler and Mather Zickel. The series focused on three grown men struggling to shed their immaturity.

      Typical network screw up. They drop Man Up and they put on that horrific crap "Work It"
      That's the worst looking show that I've ever seen.

      Same. My wife and I loved it. Ironically, we hated Last Man Standing. I lasted 5 min thru the Pilot. Were in our 30's so I guess not right demo. If they cancel Up All Night, then Im retarded.

      I really wish that a another network picks this up. That new show looks like crap & will fail. Man Up was funny. I would love to know who decides the fate of a show. You rich executives of the network really don't know what the public wants..:(

      My husband and I, along with several other family members (both male and female) absolutely love this show. Anyone who takes it seriously needs to lighten up a lot!
      It is a hilarious caricature of both men and women. So sorry to see it go.

      Man Up is a great show! Who ever made the decision to cancel this should be fired!
