This looks like the end for 'Man Up': ABC has pulled the comedy from its schedule.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the struggling freshman series will be replaced by reruns of Tim Allen's new sitcom 'Last Man Standing.'

Since its debut to 7.7 million viewers and a 2.4 rating in October, 'Man Up's' viewership has dipped as low as 4.8 million and a 1.6 rating. Production on the show's 10th episode has wrapped and THR reports the network could air the produced episodes this summer.

In September, AOL TV's own Maureen Ryan called 'Man Up' one of the least promising shows of the year.

So far this season, ABC has canceled 'Charlie's Angels' and the future of 'Pan Am' is in jeopardy. The network has not released an official statement about the future of 'Man Up.'

'Work It' will take the 'Man Up' timeslot, Tuesdays at 8:30PM ET, starting Jan. 3.

Yeah I never saw the show but for any fans of it it must suck.

New shows always have a hard time finding an audience and if the network isn't willing to allow them more time to find it then they get scrapped.

Sometimes no amount of time would really help though.. :-/
