ABC has decided that MAN UP! isn’t even worthy of sullying its Tuesday 8:30PM timeslot during the low-rated holiday season.  Effective immediately, it’s off the schedule, replaced for now by repeats of LAST MAN STANDING.

No one will miss Man Up!, but happiness at its demise is lessened by the fact that on January 3, ABC will start filling that slot–one hopes briefly–with something even worse:  the absolute nadir of the broadcast network pilots picked up to series, WORK IT.  So Happy Holidays, everyone, and enjoy those Tim Allen reruns while they last.
