After my invitation to the premiere of the TV series BULL by RTL-CBS Entertainment, I was back for more TV series from them. My shift from the addiction of ever popular Korean drama, to American TV series, was a welcoming change to my small screen addiction. In fact, these coming two sitcoms of half hourly show, sparkled joy and happiness, just cannot stop laughing watching the two premieres screening back-to-back. Well I begged for more episodes in the coming weeks and months.
The Odd Couple will premiere on 21 Oct 2016 Friday 9.30pm (8.30pm JKT/BKK) on RTL-CBS Entertainment channel from Singtel and Starhub.
Man with A Plan will premiere on 28 Oct 2016 Friday 9pm ( 8pm JKT/BKK) on RTL-CBS Entertainment channel from Singtel and Starhub.
Reserved your Fridays watching both sitcoms back-to-back and maintained a level of happiness to welcome the start of a good weekend.
I shall not review too much of both the shows, if you do not have the channel subscribed, either you join your friends at their place or get your own subscriptions from Singtel or Starhub. It's definitely entertaining...
One more thing to add, the two main actors from both sitcoms happened to be fame actors from sitcom "Friends". Who are they ? Matt LeBlanc ( Joey Tribiani on Friends ) and Matthew Perry ( Clandler Bing on Friends ).

SYNOPSIS
THE ODD COUPLE stars Matthew Perry as endearing slob Oscar Madison, and Thomas Lennon as uptight neat freak Felix Unger, two former college buddies who become unlikely roommates after the demise of their marriages.

Oscar’s jack-of-all-trades assistant, Dani, and his long-time agent, Teddy, have their hands full trying to keep Oscar’s career as a sports radio host on track as he deals with this new living situation and begins dating again.
Fortunately, Felix finds a new love interest with their quirky next door neighbor Emily who helps him adapt and rein in his copious eccentricities. Despite how exasperated Oscar and Felix make each other, in the end, these mismatched friends agree they can help each other move on from their divorces and somehow make this crazy living arrangement work.

SYNOPSIS
MAN WITH A PLAN stars Golden Globe Award winner Matt LeBlanc in a comedy about a contractor who starts spending more time with his kids when his wife goes back to work and discovers the truth all parents eventually realize: Their little angels are maniacs. Adam feels fully equipped to take on more parenting responsibilities while his self-assured wife, Andi, returns to the workforce after being a stay-at-home mom for 13 years. However, Adam is blindsided by how tough it is to wrangle three messy kids who can’t live without Wi-Fi. Their preteen daughter, Kate, is a master manipulator and initially thrilled that “Daddy Fun Times” is taking over, middle child Teddy can’t seem to keep his hands out of his pants despite constant reminders, and their precious youngest, Emme, is nervous about starting kindergarten under the stern supervision of Mrs. Wannamaker. In the midst of it all, Adam’s older brother and business partner, Don, enjoys giving him terrible advice about how to run his family. But, with Andi’s encouragement and advice from a couple of equally stressed parents, Marie and Lowell, Adam takes charge of his brood, lays down the law and discovers he’s going to “nail” this job.
