In season 1 episode 17 of the hit sitcom Man With a Plan, titled Doctor No, Adam Burns (played by Matt LeBlanc) finds himself in a tricky situation when he tries to get his daughter Andi (Liza Snyder) to see a doctor.
Andi is sick with a cold and Adam is worried that it might turn into something worse. But when he suggests she go see a doctor, Andi tells him that she's afraid of going to the doctor, and begs him not to make her go.
Adam tries to reason with her, telling her that it's important to get medical help when you're sick, but Andi won't budge. In the end, Adam makes a deal with her that if she sees the doctor, he'll let her skip school for the day.
Little do Adam and Andi know, the doctor they end up seeing is Adam's old high school nemesis, Dr. Phillips (played by Will Sasso). The two have a history of rivalry that goes all the way back to their days as students, and they've never quite been able to bury the hatchet.
The tension between Adam and Dr. Phillips is palpable from the moment they lay eyes on each other, and things only get worse when Dr. Phillips starts to question Adam's parenting skills. Adam responds by trying to one-up Dr. Phillips at parenting, leading to a hilarious (and slightly absurd) competition over who can keep their kids healthier.
Meanwhile, Don (Kevin Nealon) is trying to bond with his teenage son, Evan (Matthew McCann), but is having a hard time finding common ground. He tries everything from video games to sports, but nothing seems to work. In the end, he discovers that the key to bonding with his son is just to listen to him and be there for him.
As the episode progresses, Adam and Dr. Phillips continue to one-up each other at every turn, with each trying to prove that they're the better parent. It's all in good fun, of course, and the two eventually come to a peaceful (if slightly awkward) resolution.
In the end, both Adam and Don learn valuable lessons about parenting, and the importance of being there for your kids no matter what.
Man With a Plan season 1 episode 17, Doctor No, is a hilarious and heartwarming episode that's sure to leave you smiling. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and get ready for some good old-fashioned family fun.
