If it was remade today it would have to be called "Househusband."
The problem with calling the series "Man About the House" is that it assumes there is only one man about the house.
That would cause difficulties if, if at any point during the series, one of the women were suddenly to start identifying as a man - or to reveal that she has for some time been identifying as a man: I mean, to which man would the title then refer?
There would, I believe, be a certain amount of controversy if, in order to avoid confusion, the title were changed to "One Man (plus One Woman, and another Woman Who Thinks She's a Man) About the House".
An altogether safer title in this day and age might therefore be "Housemate with a Y chromosome".
