The Man Show (08/17)
So what did you think?
Certainly not as good as Adam and Jimmy, but it's early. There's room to grow. Doug Stanhope seems like a funny guy, but Joe Rogan always comes off as a tool.

The AMP skit was hilarious, the "Guess Who's Butt-Crack" was lame, but that was something I could have seen Adam and Jimmy do and it would have been just as lame.
I thought the rant at the beginning regarding prostitution was right on. Although I'm sure you would disagree, being in law enforcement and all. The prostitution laws in this country are almost as ridiculous as the drug laws. Anyway...
Can't really remember anything else about this episode, so it must not have been too memorable. I did miss "The Man Show Toast".
Ziggy-Zoggy.

Overall it was......not very good
The porn investment bit was pretty good. The Ass Crack Game Show was lame. The prostitution rant was okay, not great though. The Asian Massuese bit was pretty lame.
Well I'm hoping it will get better. Just a matter of them finding what works and what doesn't. At least that's what I'm hoping what it is.

"Also, when did Joe Rogan get so huge?"
Popularity or strength?
It was sub-par, and unless something else is on at 10 on Sunday night, I'll probably keep watching it, sadly.

Size - I remember seeing him on Howard Stern when they did one of their trips to Vegas and he did not look nearly that big.

Yeah Joe looked like he's gained some weight. His face seemed a lot rounder that I remember last.
The show wasn't awful, there is hope for it.They seemed like they were trying to push the edge a little more than Adam and Jimmy. I think the prostitution bit was a little farther than the typical Man Show, though I never have watched the show on a regular basis.
Wow, I'm listening to an episode of Loveline right now and Adam is saying he turned down 50 grand an episode to continue doing the Man Show

Well in the context of what he was saying it must've been quite a bit more than what he was getting. He said they begged and begged for him to come back. For the record Kathy Griffin was shocked he turned it down.

This new season everything just felt so forced. Rogan was just reading off of a cue card with no enthusiasm. It doesn't look like he could ad-lib if his life depended on it which is what Carolla did so well. And the other guy is just sooooo boring.

I'm a little surprised that the new season is starting now. The NFL starts up in 3 weeks and considering that the Man Show and the NFL have common viewership, I could see the ratings of The Man Show plummeting when Sun Night Football starts up.

I can fogive some lame skits and hope they get better, but what really turned me off from the show was at the end...no Ziggy-Zoggy. What's up with that? That was clearly a honor to the Fox. Bastards probably tore his picture down off the wall too. If they can't honor the previous incarnation of the show, how can they expect us to give a rat's crack, especially when they are lagging behind in the quality department?

Are you saying you agree with the rant on prostitution? If not, I don't see how that could be a thread crap. Please clarify.

So my original post made two points. I predicted that you would disagree with the prostitution discussion that was very much a part of the show, and offered my opinion on that subject, very much ON topic. How is that a thread crap again? Or do you just want it to be?

Adam and Jimmy had an everyman quality that made them fun to watch, and were terrific at self-deprecating humor.
The immediate impression I got from Doug is that he's an a-hole, and Joe seems a bit stiff.
What was the deal with the rant at the start of the show? I thought I was watching Dennis Miller Live.
