ABC is really manning up this pilot season. After greenlighting Chris Moynihan’s comedy pilot Man Up earlier this month, the network has just picked up another project by that name, this one from writer-producer Jack Burditt (30 Rock), which has Tim Allen circling the lead. The multicamera Jack Burditt project, which has now being renamed to The Last Day of Man, originally landed at ABC in November with a put pilot commitment after a bidding war with CBS. The project, from 20th TV and 21 Laps/Adelstein Prod., centers on a guy fighting for his manhood in a world of women. Burditt is executive producing with Marty Adelstein, Shawn Levy and Becky Clements.

Love it.
Marty Adelstein finally makes not doing any work actually pay off. Congrats!
I LOVE Tim Allen! Would be so great to have him back on TV!!
Paul Lee seems to be picking up great shows. He’s doing a better job than Steve McPherson.
The 30 Rock episodes written by Jack Burditt are usually my favorites. Excited for this!
Okay, so we have Man Up, Smothered, Don’t Trust the Bitch, and now Last Days of Man.
Who’s in charge of comedy development, Andrew Dice Clay?
All well and good and fine, but why doesn’t Tim Allen just go for it and play an actual caveman?
Oh, that’s right, that’s been tried.
Tim Allen has always made me laugh.
What if Tim Allen’s character was given an honorary sheriff’s badge and then started acting like a real cop?
Jack Burditt is one of the best 1/2 hour writers in the game. Glad he’s finally getting his own shot. He’s been making other writers look too good for too long. He deserves this.
Marty’s phoning it in from the sidelines. Thank God Becky Clements is involved. She’s solid.
Great News! This is one comedy i would love!!!!!! to see on the fall schedule! So I am very happy
Saw Tim Allen at the Laugh Factory a few months back. That guy is still funny as hell.
They should have kept MAN UP as the title.
Anyone laughed when Tim Allen came out in news after GG’s and “bidding war between ABC and CBS”.
What if one of the characters in this pilot was a Hollywood blog commenter who bagged a lot of chicks?
Do any pilots get picked up that don’t have an army of non-writing producers attached? These people suck money out of the project and contribute nothing. They’re just another layer of notes writers don’t need.
