*fails*

damn.

sweet
I cannot stand that frigging show

"War Between the Sexes" humor was much funnier when this guy was in charge:



"The Man Show" was a one-joke program. Its time is over.
 
2002-05-14 10:08:05 AM
But what about the juggies! Think of the juggies people!

2002-05-14 10:08:16 AM
farkers!! Lazy bastard, can't he do both shows!?
 
2002-05-14 10:08:31 AM
The show will be missed, by me at least.

It's 9 AM, I think it's time for a beer...

Ratings for "PI" have been solid but never spectacular. And Maher lost some advertiser support after the Bush White House misinterpreted a remark Maher made about the U.S. military in the aftermath of September 11.

Uhh... the white house itself misinterpreted his comment? or PI's advertisers did. Sounds like there's a reason this guy's writing about TV shows & not politics.
 
2002-05-14 10:09:10 AM
I'd like to go on record offering the Juggies a place to stay once the show ends. (The Man Show Boy will have to fend for himself)
 
2002-05-14 10:09:13 AM
yeah.. wont miss this one...
 
2002-05-14 10:09:39 AM
That show is great! Ya got yer funny, and ya got yer boobies. I mean.. there ya go. What more do you need? Oh well, maybe Politically Incorrect will be watchable now with Jimmy on it.

F Bill Maher.
 
2002-05-14 10:10:06 AM
We lose "The Man Show" and "Politically Incorrect" in one Kimmel-related swoop? Fark.

Two most important shows on television. Period.
 
2002-05-14 10:11:02 AM
One Comedy Central spin-off gets replaced by another. Boo.
 
2002-05-14 10:11:22 AM
Mmmmmm... Juggies...

Bring on the mazola oil and the twister mat....
 
2002-05-14 10:12:11 AM
Oh yeah, and now Jimmy can figure out clever ways to try to work "vergina" into network television. Hooray
 
2002-05-14 10:13:11 AM
I was pretty indifferent on the Man Show.
I think PI will miss Maher.

Downcaste
If I recall correctly, Ira Watchamacallit [from the White House] said something in one of his press meetings about Maher saying that 'we were the cowards'. Then the shiznit hit the fan w/ the advertisers.

Either way, what Maher was saying was that it was weak of our politicos to call someone a coward while they order other men off to fight and shoot missiles. [also, he was referring to Clinton & the congress not to the military]

Wow. CNN is such a wonderfully informative news source. They keep me up to date on world events like no one else. Thanks CNN!! You guys rock!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Damn you!!!!
Damn you all to hell!!!!!!!
 
2002-05-14 10:14:23 AM
The show was about as fun as repeatedly punching yourself in the nuts.
 
2002-05-14 10:14:28 AM
I agree, the show was a one joke show. There are so many more ways to talk about beer and womens boobs without lowering to stereotypical caveman antics.

Although the midgets kicked ass.

Everyone loves midgets!
 
2002-05-14 10:16:28 AM
I did like the boyscout bits.


I hope PI gets back onto Comedy Central.
 
2002-05-14 10:16:55 AM
We'll miss ya...


Especially Vanessa and The Fox (RIP)
 
2002-05-14 10:16:57 AM
Come on, people.... there will still be an ENTIRE NEW SEASON of The Man Show, 24 episodes, to be aired STARTING in August!!!

It's not dead yet.

I do, however, have 'positions' available for any out of work Juggies who are interested... heh heh heh ...step this way to my casting couch, ladies.
 
2002-05-14 10:17:12 AM
Does anyone remember exactly what Bill Maher said? I remember it happening but it didn't send me into convulsions like it seemed to so many others. I mean the show is called Politically Incorrect. Feh, free speech is dying.

Oh, and I just couldn't get into the Man Show, sorry.
 
2002-05-14 10:17:46 AM
The Man Show sucks. The only thing that show had going for it was that kid with the beer.
 
2002-05-14 10:18:11 AM
The show really wasn't bad...Kimmel annoys the hell out of me. For my money, I'd rather watch Insomniac.
 
2002-05-14 10:18:27 AM

I've summarized it above.


I loved the episode where they visited the house o' Dogg.
 
2002-05-14 10:18:36 AM
Wow. Another cable network's programming going down the crapper. Who would have thunk it?

Ziggie zaggie, ziggie zaggie, oi oi oi!
Ziggie zaggie, ziggie zaggie, oi oi oi!
Ziggie zaggie, ziggie zaggie, oi oi oi!
 
2002-05-14 10:18:43 AM
Man Show canceled...jimmy kimmel to host nightline like show? The Empire Still Exists.
(is the world getting more & more surreal or am i just reading too many weird books?)
 
2002-05-14 10:20:33 AM
I'll miss the Man Show Boy. But it's not like there will be a lack of big fake perky breasts on cable TV. We still have E!, after all.
 
2002-05-14 10:21:40 AM
NNNNOOOOO!!!!
No more man show boy or 'nessa kay!
:(
 
2002-05-14 10:22:26 AM
Kimmel got too big for his britches.
Anyways, I should be on the FOX Pre game N.F.L. Football telecasts.
I pick for a better winning percentage than him AND I wanna give Jillian Barberie a full tongue bath.
 
2002-05-14 10:23:11 AM
CandyPink:

Good point.

Mmmmmmmm...... big fake perky breasts.......
 
2002-05-14 10:24:50 AM
My husband's a man. He doesn't like that show.
 
2002-05-14 10:25:31 AM
Nooooo! I like the Man Show. It might not be sophisticated comedy, but its over-the-top boorishness cracked me up. As a straight chick, I didn't get much out of the Girls Jumping on Trampolines, but the Man-O-Vations amused me...the Wheel of Destiny was pure genius...the sock puppet porn sketch was classic...and who could forget that random audience member who ate a whole stick of butter for $100?

A couple links:
ExtraTV
Salon [middle of article quotes Ari Fleischer ... not Ira watchamacallit... saying "Americans need to watch what they say, watch what they do, and this is not a time for remarks like that; there never is." ]

Perpetualbata.com (see oct 2, 2001) which talks about the controversy and that it was referring to 'previous administrations'
 
2002-05-14 10:26:25 AM
That Kimmel idiot is married, with a kid.

Poo.

Jillian Barberie's vagina's damn huge!
 
2002-05-14 10:27:36 AM
Thanks Stebain, I'll check them out.
 
2002-05-14 10:28:00 AM
Time to hoist one last one for the Fox.
Ziggi-Zaggi Indeed.

Downcaste: News agencies are all liberal to varying degrees, Reuters is no exception. Blaming the Bush White House for Bill Maher's stupidity is but one small example of their liberalism and hate for the current administration.
 
2002-05-14 10:30:41 AM
it was all the crap like this show that made me ditch cable anyway. feh.

Alton~

Free Speech is not dead. All Freedom of Speech means is that you can't be arrested or in any way restricted from expressing your opinions BY THE GOVERNMENT OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS. People tend to forget that little clause. Freedom of speech soes not protect you from a) getting fired, 2) being dragged through the coals by the media, III) being flamed in a Fark forum.

Bill Mahar sucks anyway. He isn't funny, and if he tells me what a libertarian he is one more time, I will puke.

Check her out. She's lookin at it too.

You don't think media as a unit is inherently liberal, do you?
Isn't it, rather, that the job responsibilities & rewards tend to meet the interest of those who happen to also be liberal?
 
2002-05-14 10:37:52 AM
I'm overwhelmed with indifference!
 
2002-05-14 10:38:07 AM
Kudos Stebain.

That is the type of logic we need more of in here. Facts and Cause and effect, these are the basis of a good argument.

Bill Maher is Gay.

What has Maher said or done that leads you to believe he is not libertarian?
