Rating: Summary: What's the definition of "UNCENSORED"??? Review: I have been watching "joe" since the first time it aired. I'm currently watching "joe II" and it looks to be as good as or better than the first.But I have a serious problem with the producers or whomever calling this uncensored. I have watched four out the nine or ten segments and so far on three separate occasions the show has been CENSORED!!! There was Kip's runway walk wearing (or more accurately not wearing) Hutch's free-balling underwear; then there was Brian's dropping trough attempting to get Matt to break-up; and there's Molly's "bikini slip". Each of these have been blurred or cubed to obscure OR CENSORED what actually happened. Loved the show, but to me, censored is censored any way you slice it. My guess is that there will be another release in six-months of the Director's Cut, or the unrated/fully uncensored show. That way they'll stand to make twice what they make on the first release. BOOO, Spike TV, BOOOOOOOO
Rating: Summary: Hilarious Review: I started watching season 2 and missed out on season one. I think that the show is very clever and keeps me laughing. Season one is by far better. I love the characters,especially Matt, who is not even a character. Now I just want to be his friend. This is a great buy but it is a little pricey. Forty dollars is a little too expensive. I think the premise of the show is good and well thought up. Kip the gay guy is by far the funniest and does the best acting job. Ashleigh the rich Snob is hot as all and does a great job as well. I would recommend you buy this right now because it is hours of entertainment joking the reality shows we love

Rating: Summary: The reality show for people who hate reality shows Review: It is so tongue and cheek, cleaver, halarious, daring, racy and exciting! It's the Joe Schmo show, and it's now on DVD - uncensored! I would never have tuned into this show if I hadn't read about it, and I'm so glad I did! It is the funniest show that has ever been on television! I think it's fantastic and it gives such an insight on these reality shows and how they work. I myself am a big fan of reality shows, so I was able to see all the jokes and parodies of other reality shows, and I just died laughing at all of the little in-jokes. For all of you who are wary of the reality band wagon and don't appreciate this new genre, I highly recommend the Joe Schmo, for its interesting take and gentle satire! What a classic!
Rating: Summary: WhAt iS gOiNg OnNn? Review: That's from Matt when he saw Tawny Roberts when doing the commentary for the uncensored finale. Just one of many funny things on a very funny DVD. First, you'll get to watch all the episodes without logos, commercials, promos over the closing credits or other such nonsense. This is great in itself and even if you've been a regular watcher of the show (maybe more than once), I think you'll still laugh. For more fun, try using your DVD's pause / slow motion feature during the director's meetings to pick up things you might not have noticed before. The special features are pretty sweet. One of the best ones is what I mentioned above - a commentary on the finale by Matt Kennedy Gould and executive producer Rhett Reese. Since the finale also includes a look-back at the entire season, you'll get to hear their thoughts on that as well. You'll also catch up on how Matt's doing now and some of his deepest thoughts on what during the show. As for the actual bonus features section, you get Deleted Scenes, Chocolate-Covered Models featurette, the Making of a Meal and additional Eviction footage. Of these, I'd have to say that the most interesting and revealing is definitely the Eviction footage. You get the complete commentary of what the cast had to say to Matt after they were "evicted," plus Matt's full commentary afterwards. You'll recognize the bits and pieces that were shown during the program, but this is the chance to see the entire thing and pick up a lot of stuff that got cut before. Of the Deleted Scenes, the two funniest are Matt's Breakdown and a Fish Story from Kip. The breakdown is very funny and almost alone makes the DVD worth it. Finally, to those who are complaining about the censorship, I just have to say that I don't think it's any big deal. For one thing, when they censored Brian's nipples, that was a joke. And, come on, do you really want to see Brian's naughty bits anyway? Or Kip's? If that's the only thing you're tuning in for, then it seems you're not appreciating everything the show/DVD has to offer. Oh, and by way of explanation, the main cast of the show probably had contracts that said they couldn't show that --- at least for the stuff that wasn't just a joke.
Rating: Summary: This is censored. Don't be fooled. Review: The "uncensored" version of the first season is, in fact, censored.
Rating: Summary: Excellent television Review: The Joe Schmo show's premiere season could almost be considered as being as auspicious as Survivor's first season. Marked by epic moments like Hutch throwing his ceremonial plate into the fireplace, Matt struggling to like chocolate off of a supermodel's rack, and the dramatic final eviction ceremony. This is truly another great reality show worthy of having its own DVD. If you missed it, buy it. If you enjoyed and and want to relive its glory, buy it. If you didn't like it or you're one of those people who think reality shows don't deserve to be on DVD, screw it, you're probably too much of a numskull to read this review anyway. Bottom line: great show with loads of fun. If you're on the fence about buying this DVD, buy it, and for the love of god watch the second season which is turning out, somehow, to be even better than the first.
Rating: Summary: I love this show! Review: The premise: It's a reality show that isn't real. Matt Kennedy Gould thinks that he's on a reality show called,"Lap of Luxury," playing for $100k. But what he doesn't know is that everyone else is an actor and it's one big trick. This show is hilarious. It is also sometimes touching or surprising. It's my favorite reality show. Many people I know who hate reality show love this show. I think I know why: Most reality shows are fake, but not completely fake. It's hard to manipulate it to be a good show. In this show the whole premise is that it's fake, so the writers can do whatever they want to make the show funny/shocking/touching/other with still a little bit of riskiness and surprise when Matt doesn't act like the writers thought he would, or the actors slip up. If I were to have a problem with this show, occaisonally it becomes obvious that this was on Spike TV, the network for men. The women are all hot and in bikinis. I don't mind (I'm a girl), but some other people do. That's the problem with Spike TV-it's all sexist and macho and I feel like I should be all angry at it, but I can't be because it's so fun and funny to watch!
Rating: Summary: An incredible show. Review: This is a review of Joe Schmoe, not the DVD. This is, without a doubt, my favorite all-time television show. It's hilarious, silly, ridiculous, and in some parts (such as the end), emotional. You've already read what the show is about, so I'll give some examples of what you're in for -Matt being forced to eat fake dog feces filled with corn (which he thought was real at the time). -Matt eating chocolate off a stripper as part of a contest, even though chocolate makes him gag. Just to name a couple without spoiling the entire show. Matt is a great part of the show, who truly seems like a really nice guy. If you enjoy number one, be sure to tune in to SpikeTV at 11PM EST on Mondays and 10PM EST on Tuesdays to watch Joe Schmo 2, which seems to be just as good as number 1 so far. In addition, if you visit SpikeTV's Joe Schmoe 2 website you'll see some cut footage such as Matt's cameo.
