Man Show 08/24/03

Ok....2 shows in and I'm really not liking the new hosts or the show. I don't like the fact that they are keeping some of the same bits while loosing others. I think they should have come up with totally new bits or left them the same.

I don't like the lack of Ziggy Zoggy or them putting the midget in with the girls jumping on the trampolines.

And what is up with Joe Rogan? That guy sure has put on a LOT of weight. He also looks as if he's stoned out of his gord when they go to a close-up shot of him.

I can't say I'm impressed with the toilet humor. Smelling ass cracks and drinking urine may have been hilarious in junior high but it is SO lame now.

If the next episode doesn't improve significantly this one gets dropped.

Oh for the old days.

Kimmell had great gigs with Comedy Central and Fox. Quite a few eyeballs, I would think.

Is his ABC show still on?

Classic example of dumping in one's messkit, IMO.

At least the second episode was better than the first, but it is nowhere near the old Man Show. I especially didn't like how they rigged the "Wheel of Destiny". IMO the new show is a disgrace to the original and won't last more than 2 seasons.

Doesn't matter which jr. high, drinking urine was definitely funny then.

My take on the episode:

The doctor/urine drinking - it started funny, but went on too long. Wheel of Destiny - always a favorite of mine, they should have gone back to the Porn Star's van to close the show. I wish they'd have taken more than 1 question from the audience, and for the love of God, stop showing the midget jumping on the trampoline!

I totally agree with everything you said regarding this stinker of an episode. I expected them to close the show with showing the van rocking or something along those lines.

It was pretty sad seeing the wheel suddenly stop on a particular space....I've always known it's been rigged but they've never shown it so obvious as in that show.

Anyone else notice that about half the audience that used to sit on the floor closer to the stage seems to be missing? Are they having that much trouble drawing a crowd into the studio? There are a few chairs on the floor but not nearly as many as there was last season when I watched the reruns.

Perhaps you guys are not the target audience anymore ?

ohh..I'm pretty sure I am. As long as they want your typical 28 year old, beer drinking, porn watching, sports loving, toilet humor male ;)

But 1459 posts on such an intelligent site as this rules you out.

bah...you give me too much credit ;)

Obviously I'm not their target audience any more. The old show had decent comedy and a fair amount of titilation. The new one just seems juvenile and sleazy. Any bets on them making more than one season of this new crap?

I've deleted it from my season pass.

I've had a similarly bad opinion of the first two shows, but I'm giving it one more, as is my custom for any new show (and this is DEFINITELY a new show). Three strikes, and it's outta there.

Where the old Man Show was about the human male condition, this one is just potty humor and not funny potty humor at that. I gave the first week about 20 minutes, and then proceded to delete my season pass.
