Entertaining and informative!, Oct 4 2008

This review is from: Gene Simmons Family Jewels: The Complete Season 2 (DVD)
I do not know how much of the episodes are staged, but they make for compelling viewing. I had tears in my eyes watching the plastic surgery episodes, and felt for poor Sophie when she got a little overwhelmed. It is also a real kick seeing how Gene works his mojo in all the different situations. This is good stuff!

Worth it, April 23 2008
By Pompiere - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gene Simmons Family Jewels: The Complete Season 2 (DVD)
The thing about this DVD set is that you'll watch it once, love it, and probably not turn the episodes on again. They aren't exactly "re-watchable" to a high extent, but if you haven't seen them all on TV, the price is low enough it is worth buying. You do kind of need to watch this show in order as some episodes flow together, tag lines come up, etc... The extra's are good too though, making this a worthwhile purchase.

Fake Reality TV...Oddly Compelling, Dec 20 2007
By R.A. McKenzie - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Gene Simmons Family Jewels: The Complete Season 2 (DVD)
I hate all reality TV except for the "UFC Ultimate Fighter" seasons. Yet, I loved the 1st season of "Gene Simmons' Family Jewels', and mostly enjoyed this season.The basic premise is that we are allowed into the daily lives and adventures of KISS icon Gene Simmons, his former Playmate girlfriend of 23 years ("happily unmarried") Shannon Tweed, and their two teens Nick & Sophie.
Probably everything you've read about this show is true. The family is very likable & endearing, and the show is often hysterical. But the show's entertainment value is diminshed only by a few over-the-top scenarios. I believe Gene Simmons is as big as they come with presentation and image, because Season One perfectly captured how he endlessly works on his marketing campaigns and KISS legacy. But somehow bringing the Clippers cheerleaders to a beach volleyball game, being suckered while in London, or having Carrot Top ruin a......never mind -- it sometimes feels even less real than you think it will.
I thought Season One was surprisingly moving, and reality TV I would watch again. Season Two is twice as long, and requires an even bigger grain of salt. There are some terrific moments including a trip to Camp Pendleton and plastic surgery repercussions, and there are the aforementioned "fake" moments. In short, this season is just as funny, but not as gripping.
Also, the Extras are severely lacking this time. Season One had more deleted Couch Interviews, and an hour of bonus footage into Gene's house and everyday work. Season Two has a bonus best-of episode, and a few Couch Interviews.
All in all, I own Season Two and enjoy it, warts and all
---Season One = 9.0 / 10
---Season Two = 7.5 / 10
