DVD Review: Joe Schmo 2: Various: Movies & TV

Product Description
The Joe Schmo Show was a reality TV show parody which aired on the American cable network Spike TV. The show’s concept is reminiscent of the movie The Truman Show. The targets, regular schmoes; such as Matt Kennedy Gould, were led to believe that they were contestants on reality shows. Unbeknownst to the show’s main characters, everyone else on the show, including the host, is actually an actor. The show itself is in fact an elaborate hoax designed to elicit comedic reactions from them. This DVD release includes 13 Hilarious Episodes including never before seen footage of the cast and crew! Take a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of one of the most notorious reality show debacles in history!

It’s about time!,

By Patrick McKinley (San Marcos, CA USA) -

The second season was definitely superior to the first in every way. The ridiculous lampooning of just about every reality show standard is fantastically done: alliances, stupid contests for “immunity” and of course the way-too-self-important immunity ceremony. The stereotypes that REAL reality shows always seem to choose, are all here in hilarious fashion. Not to spoil anything… but there is one moment with a falcon (yes, a real falcon) that is, I swear… the funniest thing I have ever seen on television! Thank you Spike for FINALLY releasing this comedic gem! HIGHLY recommended!

FINALLY!,

By Brian Edwards (Toronto, ON) -

Been waiting for this for ages. Now I can chuck my VHS copies. Fantastic series and yes better than the 1st. The Schmos (yes 2 this time round) are both different and still enjoyable to follow. There’s a great unexpected development in this that forced the producers to scramble but they pull through with flying colours. The fake show goes so far you will kill yourself laughing that ANYONE could buy it.

It’s edgy and a bit naughty without being too over the top. You’ll chuckle at the more racy innuendo than you will squirm.

I just hope we get the 90 min version of the one ep that ended up getting cut to a mere 60 by the network at the last minute.

JOE SCHMOE 2 - FINALLY!,

By Charles Duncan -

I have been waiting for this forever! You’d never think a show with a gimmick like this - poor schmoe is set up on a fake reality show - would ever get a second season, but it did and it was even better than the first one. Best of all, we get an early TV appearance by Kristin Wiig! This is definitely on my must have list!
