The Man Show Series 2 - The Memorable TV DVD Review

As soon as the hilarious theme tune and opening credits kick in featuring scantily clad girls you know just what you are in for with The Man Show. Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla The Man Show (seen on Comedy Central) takes a very sideways look at being a man, shot in front of a studio audience Jimmy and Adam crack jokes, perform sketches and allow near naked women to drape themselves all over them. Series 2 broadcast in 2000 featured the very hilarious "Man Show Boy" (the true stand out of the series) taking a supposedly 11 year old boy out on the street to ask some very rude and personal questions to passers by. Other segments included Jimmy's "Father and Son" heart to hearts with his own son as well as Adam's Karl Malone impersonation. Not to mention girls on trampolines of course.

SO IS IT ANY GOOD?

This 6 disc set from Eagle Vision includes all the episodes from season two (however there does seem to be some inconsistencies with the episodes on the box not correlating to the episodes on the discs), The Man Show is pretty outrageous stuff, very very funny though.

I suppose some people will be highly offended by the show taking as it does so many stereotypical ideas of men and what they think of women and running away with them, overall though Jimmy Kimmell and Adam Corrolla are very quick to poke fun at themselves first. The Man Show does have plenty of un-pc moments from the Swearing to the very gratuitous nudity (which for some reason is blurred out) but it's actually a breath of fresh air and an obvious reaction to these ultra politically correct times we live in.

Probably not one to watch one with grandma but certainly perfect for getting the mates around to watch with beer and pizza.

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

The special features are all on disc 6 and consist mostly of promo's for the show, some Karl Malone segments, a send up of The Osbornes called The Juggbournes, but best of all is an on the street segment called Tobias Cats in which Adam plays Tobias who has a collection of mind reading cats, very funny. There are also some extended Girls on Trampolines moments.
