Joe and Doug are doing it strictly for the cash. They both hate it because they can't get away with half the shit they'd like to do, because the censors hose up their bits.

Doug has expressly stated that anything he does outside of stand-up is for the promotion of his stand-up, which, by the way, is really damn good.

I agree that the show had much better moments with Adam and Jimmy. But Joe and Doug do some really funny, creative shit that even A&J were afraid to try. They never thought of "Drunken Crossfire," dammit. The book signing where they had the Dr. Phil look-alike who was a total pig to the women was a stroke of genius.

The show is what it is, LCD entertainment, but it's got some gems. And the type of comedy that Joe & Doug like to do tends to be darker, more vulgar, and, oddly enough, more carefully thought-out and creatively written than A&J's work. J&D's humor just doesn't play as well within the context of the Man Show.
