Thursday, June 17, 2004 at 5:37 AM On the guy-TV front, Comedy Central has canceled "The Man Show" after someone at the Viacom-owned cable network noticed that large-breasted women jumping on trampolines may be hilarious for a couple of seasons, but after that it's just sad. A Comedy Central spokesman noted that of late the new episodes, with stupendously unfunny hosts Doug Stanhope and Joe Rogan, were only doing as well in the ratings as reruns hosted by considerably-funnier-but-that's-not-saying-much Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla. "If old shows do as well as the new ones, why make more?" the spokesman asked rhetorically. "The franchise has run its course," he said, noting that "five years for any show, broadcast or cable, is a great run." Comedy Central has the rights to continue to rerun "The Man Show" for four more years, the rep said. —Marc |
