The Man Show: Season 1, Vol. 1 [DVD]

Comedy Central examines the mind of the common man in the outrageous comedy series "The Man Show". Hosts Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel offer a unique male perspective on important topics that men care about like sports, porn, nagging wives, beer and women jumping on trampolines. Carolla and Kimmel expose the truth on many important male issues and drive political correctness out the door. "The Man Show" is a hilarious half hour skit-based comedy series that explores the best and worst traits of men. Hosts Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel are hilarious and have good comic chemistry. The comedy series also stars the buxom Juggy Dance Squad and the beer-guzzling emcee Bill "The Fox" Foster who passed away after the first season. Some of the show's recurring sketches include "Man-Ovations", "Movies Men Don't Want to See" and "Household Hints from Adult Film Stars". With its brand of sophomoric humor and eye-catching dancers, "The Man Show" had a good run on Comedy Central but by the fifth season, the comedy series fell apart and was shortly cancelled with the new hosts.If you like watching two guys acting like complete idiots and hot girls jumping around on trampolines, then "The Man Show: The Complete First Season" is certainly a worthy purchase. All 22 episodes are presented in its original full screen format. The picture quality and 2.0 Dolby Digital sound aren't overwhelming but still rather pleasant. Among special features, both volumes include some never-before-seen comic sketches and extended montages of girls bouncing around on trampolines. Overall, "The Man Show: The Complete First Season" gets a "B".

If you're not bright enough to entertain a funny premise without necessarily agreeing with it, you should not have a computer, let alone have access to a show as funny as this. Adam and Jimmy were consistently creative and funny, and their efforts to make us laugh by embracing all that is boorish about us men were much appreciated by me, especially as the politically correct nonsense was taking hold. This show was, of course, partially a pushing back at the ridiculousness of that sensibility. Sophomoric and crude? Sure! Funny as hell? Absolutely.I'd imagine that the people who don't get it also don't get Howard Stern...those of us in on it can see when he's just pushing the envelope to be entertaining or provocative. Yes, people, sometimes it's just entertainment.Adam and Jimmy are phenomenal talents with chemistry that cannot be manufactured. You'll see that if you watch the seasons after they left. Treat yourself and get the seasons that Adam and Jimmy hosted.Five stars, suckas!

No more bleeped-out words in this version. All the colorful language (well, there's some but not THAT much) is heard in all its glory. Still a wonderful show, and I hope Seasons 2-4 will be forthcoming.Obviously Comedy Central had to bleep out certain language and mosaic over the brief nudity. But so far the language is uncensored for the DVD but the one instance of nudity remains strategically covered. No big deal, really. Most of us are adult enough to not get all googly over a pair of you-know-whats. But it is an interesting "partial uncensoring" nonetheless.The DVD extras are only mildly interesting, but the content as a whole is still worth the expense.

I have had this on my christmas / birthday / father's day / etc list forever. When I realized that waiting for someone else to buy me the MAN SHOW was a waste of time, I grabbed my sack and put down the money for one of the funniest shows on TV. Don't bother with anything past season 1 & 2. What can I say? Jimmy and Adam will NEVER apologize for being a MAN; the Fox is the most incredible beer drinking machine I have ever seen and any show that ends up with girls on trampolines is the best thing since...well, anything.I really miss these guys and while they are not doing too badly, nothing they will do will ever top the first two seasons of the MAN SHOW.

...bits and pieces from the underrated skit show "too hot" for the original Comedy Central show all here. Fun to see youngish Carolla and Kimmel from back in the day.Most important: more girls on trampolines!

Just as funny as the day it came out.

Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend who is a big Adam Carolla fan and used to watch this show back in the day. This dvd set has a couple bonus features too which is nice. If you’re a fan of Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla, and appreciate “guy humor” then this is worth a watch.

From back when men were men and girls were girls, before excessive political correctness ruined most everything. Quality entertainment like Married with Children, Star Trek, Top Gear, the original Dumbo...

The first season wasn't as great as the following 3 (forget anything past season 4), but still pretty good. The packaging is a little strange though, it's 6 DVDs stacked on top of each other instead the usual separate holders in standard multi-disc DVD cases.I also think that they could have easily fit all of the episodes + bonus features onto about 3 discs.It is a little pricey as well, but after having each season in my wish list for years, it doesn't look the price will be dropping anytime soon, so if you're holding off on buying it, just go ahead and buy it,

As listed. VERY funny stuff... not for the PC crowd though, as you need to have a sense of humour to understand they are JOKES.

It's ok.

all is well
