male bonding at its best

This show is good natured and fun, if you're in the mood. You probably won't hear any intellectual discussion on global warming, but you may just get some practical advice on how to operate your favorite guy gadget while it's being demo'd by some gorgeous model. Some may find it a tad sexist, but it's all for laughs.

Terrible.

Utter drivel. The whole show lacks imagination; I was intrigued by their commercials, but the show is just plain annoying. The 11:00 news has more laughs. Avoid it at all costs. Geeez. And to think Fox canceled Penn & Teller and put on this thing...

What the HECK happened to this show??!!
MikeFab113 January 2003
Like most men I love women. I mean LOOOOOOOVE women. Especially looking at women. And the producers and hosts of this show knew it. So its safe to say that they exploited that fact. Not as "sexist" as most people would have you believe. It was actually very funny and entertaining.

Maybe even a little informative. Sort of like Comedy Central's "The MAN Show", but with more women and info about them. I loved the "Perfect 10" magazine models and those "Mini Pageants" they had once a week. The spokes model thing they did every show was a bit annoying. I can't believe those chicks ACTUALLY thought this show was their big break! What air-heads!! (NOTE: If you are a feminist and you just read what I wrote, you'd agree with me if you've seen just one episode. Those bimbos were air-headed and desparate.) The thing that brought the show down was the fact that they kept changing the hosts. Specifically every few months they'd get rid of one guy and hire a new guy (or in one case a WOMAN).

Some blonde that laughed at everything. Jillian Barbarie had frequant guest appearances (she'd literally do ANYTHING for FOX). Seriously. If Fox asked her to appear in this or host that she'd do it. She admitted this. She was hot, but had a VERY annoying laugh. Another downside was the NEVERENDING Product Placements and advertisements. Every other minute they'd tell you to buy something. At first I thought it was their opinions then it became obvious. They'd tell you to buy ALL these electronic gifts for your girlfriend, wife, some chick that lived in th same dorm as you in college. (LITERALLY). They'd say buy her a boombox and that will get you noticed!! I did however learn from this show. Like the back of a woman's knee is an erogenous zone! I have so much more to say, but will save it for another time.

Horrible

This show tries to be funny, but it falls WAY short. I have seen maybe two segments that are even remotely funny, and the guys who host this thing now are just terrible. The first group of guys...they were actually pretty good, and they were funny themselves, but the "skits" and segments they have are just awful and unimaginative. Avoid this show at all costs, especially now that they have an entire new cast of hosts. To comment on the first commenters point...Penn and Teller were, most of the time, hilarious...it's a shame.
