    Five stars for the original version. A show that caters to the lowest common denominator. Adam spent way too much time talking about masturbation. The Man Show Boy was outstanding. The best thing Jimmy Kimmel or Adam Carolla ever did.

    Completely tasteless humor but you have to admire the business plan...if there was one!

    this is the single most pathetic thing on tv that ranks up there with the brain-function level of springer, lake, jenny, oprah... this show is beyond stupid and people with only a few functioning brain cells would rate it 5 stars.

    This show is now gone and mostly unlamented. I got a kick out of some the of sequences, but a lot of time, it was fairly lame.

    Some funny moments, but too boorish overall.

    I tried out to be a Juggy. Apparently because of my full figure (I weigh about 265 pounds) they turned me down. Jerks!

    Its a good show, funny sometimes but the old shows were better. who ever takes this show seriously, like many of you do, remember its just comedy central, ya'know the network with that show that has a talking piece of poo? They should get the old hosts back and it would be much better.

    Stopped watching this after trying the new hosts for several shows. Adam and Jimmy were semi-naturals. The new guys seem to present themselves as Gen-Xers that know they can never be as funny as their predecessors. Where have you gone, Jimmy Kimmel?

    I liked this show better when it had the original hosts. The new guys seem to be more interested in shocking the audience with gay and racial humor than entertaining the fans.

    Sometimes it's funny, other times it's downright idiotic, but the Man Show is a decent show. Some of their recurring skits, such as the kid who sells beer from a lemonade stand or the Wheel of Destiny, are hilarious. The Juggies aren't bad either....especially Vanessa. Oh man, what I wouldn't do to be with her. Now they've got these two new hosts (Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope), and from the couple of episodes of the new season that I've seen, the show is keeping skits like the Wheel of Destiny, but the comedy of Joe and Doug give the show a harder, more aggressive tone than before. They're not worse than Adam and Jimmy, but they're not any better either.

    Some parts are funny and I give major kudos to Jimmy and Adam for kicking a racist girl off the show due to her statements. But something that disturbs me is the fan club of this show. (Not including the people commenting on rate-it-all.) The vast majority of the men who hang around this show are 500-pound abusive white trailer trash men who slap their wives around, yell "No Fat Chicks!" and spend all their time sitting on their asses watching football and drinking beer. That seems to enforce male stereotypes than get rid of them.

    Alright, ladies, tell me this? Would you rather have a man who burps without saying excuse me, is fascinated by gaseous emissions, drops the definition of shallow by watching cheerleaders jump on trampolines and uses constant profanity? Or have a man who is nice, obeys rules and the law, respects women and puts them on a pedestal, has a clean mouth and clean mind and actually uses their brain? The choice is obvious: women want a gentleman, not a pig. And, thus, women would reject the foolish Jimmy Kimmel and his mediocre sidekick Adam Corolla out of hand. The show scrapes the bottom of the barrel with no sense of shame (Then again, I doubt Kimmel has a dictionary, except to see his picture by the word crude.). Jokes include such low-lights as a paintball attack on a defenseless man, stealing bras and panties, lighting your own gas and more. I’m feeling a little nauseous even as I type those examples. Even the audience is chauvinist, in that only men are allowed in. Now, I’m a young mal... Read more

    I am not against porn, but think women should be appreciated for more than just that. Men shouldn't have to define their manhood (the man show) by the insulting of the opposite sex. Having women as the butt of most jokes, depicted in a deprecatory, belitting manner, and showing them as positive ONLY when they're in bikinis, is just dis-hearening. Man show perpetuates the segregation of two masses of people, pitting men against women, unless the women are understood as base as animals. This show sucks!

    I absolutely hate this show. Why am I giving it three stars then? Well, I understand that I'm biased as a female in this case, and the content, though offensive, is not meant to be taken seriously. It's an exaggeration of the stereotypical male, and it's just a joke, and nothing more. They aren't really serious about the stuff they say, it's a farce. The show could probably tone down a bit, but that's the way this show is. For guys: this might make your girl feel kind of like crap, and if they've got low self-esteem, you might want to not watch this show in front of her, or sit down talk to her about it and explain tha this isn't meant to be taken seriously.

    This show totally disgusts me. I wonder what the mother of those women on the show think of them. It's amazing how grotesk and pig-headed mencan be.

    The man show is without a doubt one the the funniest shows on television today!!! Sure the humor may be offensive to some extremely narrow minded tight wads but that does not change the fact the Adam & Jimmy are the funniest duo on television.

    Quite funny and creative, but being a female, sometimes the objectification of women is irritating.

    I don't really care for The Man Show itself, but I do like the fact that it's totally un-PC. I don't see too many people complaining about the made-for-TV movies on LifeTime network that pretty much portray all males as drunk, wife-beating, child-raping, deadbeat jerks. I think those movies are just as bad and offensive, if not worse, than the stuff on The Man Show. I'm a woman, by the way.

    Man is this show slanted! This is a prime example of how the media contiinues to perpetuate sexual stereotypes. This portrays the average male as a childish, musclebound, insensitive, dirty minded, girl player with a one track mind. Ladies, I urge you not to believe what you see on this show. We are not all like this. I for one am a 19 year old American male, and I still would rather wathc Full House then Friends. And while I do enjoy football and hockey, I also enjoy tennis. In short, this show is filthy, sickening, fortified with stereotypes, and I refuse to watch it!

    even if your a woman that can laugh at reality than anyone can enjoy this one. sometimes they go just a little too far on certain things but that's why it's "the man show"

    What I’ve seen of this show (I admit, it has not been much) is really sappy and affects me as an odd entertainment choice in the same way Jim Carey movies, the Three Stooges, hunting and sports do. I don’t get it. But, I’m also well aware that I’m not really meant to. Not being a man, the show wasn't really conceived and written with me in mind. I do see a kind of need for it though. I see it as a crude yet harmless, backlash at all the political correct crap society is constantly suggesting people swallow. Maybe, in its way, this show, along with a few similar ones, have created a kind of comic safety valve. And, maybe the result is that people who watch it have found it a little easier to laugh at not only the PC crap, but themselves as well. Either that or it’s all just a big pile of smoldering dog do. YOU decide.

    Good to see "anit-PC" stuff for a change. Lite-hearted and always good for a few belly laughs. If this show is disturbing to you, you might be a little uptight. Aahhhh..."Basic cable!"

    The Man Show has it's good and bad episodes. The Man Show is a show about 2 men explaining to the all-male audience how to get your women, and they do it through movie reviews and spoofs. Adding on jokes about George Bush and Bill Clinton along the way, The Man Show isn't exactly a watchable Tv program. It goes overboard with jokes on homo-sexuality and virginity. It also spoofs many topics including sex on Gilligan's Island and the segment which one day may recieve a cult following, the trampoline girls.

    If men want to be chauvenists, they should do it at home and not on cable television where a child can pick up this bad behaviour. I have nothing wrong with the farting and the drinking (in fact I encourage it), but it's not right that they are putting it across that all men are pigs (when it comes to women). Women aren't everything, guys. I used to like Adam Carolla, but now I think he's a pig and Jimmy is too. We don't need these smut shows on TV. I would say the same thing if they had The Woman Show. Same exact thing.

    I am a female and I find the show hillarious. Sure it's a little duragatory but don't most men think like that? I think those two are hysterical.

    The creators are whiners who complain about male stereotypes. Is this the best they can do to stop them? Or are they ironically not aware that the type of show they have created is exactly the type of thing that earns some men the label "ignorant"?
