The Man Show

Of what? You might be asking yourself. Well...not a darn thing, to tell you the truth. Although this is The MAN show, I tuned in the other day, simply to see Adam Carolla (IMHO, one of the funniest men on telivision today) outside the Loveline format that made him famous. This show is hilarious - I love this show. And yes, as the name "Theresa" would suggest, I am not a man. This show is about not really taking yourselves very seriously. And since they call it The Man Show, it is mostly about men not taking themselves to seriously. Like (and anyone that saw the most recent episode will know what I'm talking about) the 3 quater a$$ shorts? Please! The only part of the show that is excessivly male is the "Juggies" dance squad, but even that can be dismissed as laughable.

I loved this show! Sure, it was sophomoric, but it was fun- and isn't that what TV is supposed to be? It had three of the things that guys hold near and dear to their hearts- pretty women, beer and farts. How can you not love a show where Cindy Crawford (in a spot that had to be filmed a long time ago) shows you how to fix a toilet AND says "ballcock"? A show where the fastest beer drinker in the world plays the organ? Where the audience and the hosts drink brews all during the show? And where, as they have promised, we'll see girls on trampolines end every show? Will this show offend people? Sure. But that's why you have a remote control- you don't have to watch it. Every show doesn't have to be "Masterpiece Theatre." So many of the "women's shows" take great pleasure in showing that men are pigs. Well here, not only don't they deny it, they're damn proud of it. I just can't wait til Ben Stein shows up as a guest.

I find almost all parts of The Man Show pretty funny, especially the experiments in the real world (Putting a 20 dollar bill in an unflushed toilet, ect.) and the Man Show Boy, who is about 10 and is put outside a liquor store to see if anyone would buy him beer. All of the comedy is very funny, but the "Juggies", In my opinion, seem to degrade women a great deal. All in all, a VERY funny show, especially if you're a man.

The post earlier said that the Man Show was too degrading to women and was offensive...I thought that was the point! The show is sexist in such an outrageous and ridiculous manner that it's definitely not to be taken seriously. And with that philosophy, it's very very funny...

Please bring back Jimmy and Adam, or at the very least get rid of Joe. I have been a fan since the first episode and have generally enjoyed most of it until this season. The straw that broke my affiliation was when they dissed the "ziggy-zoggy" and with it the memory of The Fox. I think these two are trying way too hard to be disgusting and the quality of the show is suffering.
