CBS Developing 'Man' Show

CBS might be adding a companion guy rule book to Barney Stinson’s Bro Code.

The network is developing Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30, a single-camera comedy from executive producer/director Barry Sonnenfeld, the Tannenbaum Co. and Sony Pictures TV.

The project is inspired by Esquire contributing editor David Katz’s humorous book penned as a list of 500 rules of what a man shouldn’t do once he turns 30.

A few examples: “See any movie with elves, mutants, Wookiees or other nonhuman characters on opening night”; “Figure out which dirty words are spelled by phone number”; “High five in a business situation”; “Have any furniture that involves cinder blocks”; and “Google ex-girlfriends.”
