Manspace: new Aussie TV show about man caves and male collectors

[Omega Metro]

It would be interesting, but I fear that it is likely to be a cross between Bogan Hunters and Top Gear... as they seem to emphasis "Aussie Bloke", which would suggest sporting & alcoholic themed mancaves... with obligatory home theatre, mini-bar and pool table.

I immediately thought of 'Bogans' when I heard about this show.

I expect the more bloke-y stuff too but you never know.

This does have promise, but I got to admit as well that when I first heard of it, I immediately thought Man Show. Hopefully it's done right. It might be the one show I'll watch on free-to-air.

Another bogan culture show, oh boy.

See, someone's excited for it at least!

Yeah I think this would be it. Keep in mind that geek culture in Australia is not as big as overseas and still has a somewhat negative stigma to it.

It will most likely be about 'footy' and 'Cricket' stuff as well as beer, cars, motorbikes, etc. May have the odd rouchy theme every now and then as a cheap way to maintain interest but I doubt it would have much geek stuff in it.

Yep - my thoughts exactly.

There used to be an aussie show which was a rip-off of tne USA show 'The Man Show' except with much lower production values and much smaller breast implants on the dancers. It was on late Friday nights and died in the arse very quickly. I suspect this show will be the same.

Personally I do have a man cave, I converted half our large shed into a blokes room with a bar, pool table, beer fridge, dart board, wood heater, footy and band posters on the walls etc etc. Its cool but I dont think it would warrant a visit from a TV show.

I'm sorry how is having a man cave linked to being a bogan? I generally thought bogans were in the lower socio-economic scale where as some man caves I've seen have a lot of rather expensive memorabilia in it. How is having a man cave full of memorabilia for your favourite sporting team any different to having a room full of toys? As someone who is planning a man cave and I have friends who have man caves I'm offended at the immediate links to being a bogan.

But you also live in Ulladulla. It's not that much of a stretch

Important note: I have nothing against Wollongong or Campbelltown. Just quoting friends who have lived there

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know, (as an editor on the show) that although the title is ManSpace this is not a bogan show at all and doesn't focus on sports either. It's very different to any show I've seen before as it just basically gives props to the average aussie bloke who collects things or has a real passion for something. It's actually quite a funny show too!

For those who are interested we even have a guy who has built a huge observatory in his front yard!
