Jack of All Trades, starring Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead) as Jack Stiles, and Angela Dotchin as his supervisor, Emilia Rothschild, is a campy, post-Revolutionary War-era comedy series that's fun because it's so bizarre. In each of the twenty-two episodes, Jack and Emilia, hired by Thomas Jefferson as undercover spies, fight French Imperialism while encountering history's greatest political celebrities. In a dynamic reminiscent of Moonlighting, Emilia's feminist savvy for espionage is repeatedly undermined by Jack's dumb-but-sweet naïvete. Their brains and brawn combo is unbeatable, as they continuously foil conquest plans hatched by French Governor Croque (Stuart Devenie) and his cousin, Napolean Bonaparte (Verne Troyer, a.k.a Mini Me). No one is sacred in this series: French plans for takeover are always obviously revealed in one idiotic swoop, as if the Governor and Napolean are The Joker and The Penguin in vintage Batman episodes. Jack, master of one-liners like, "Beat it turkey, I’m having Thanksgiving," pokes fun at America's love of corny jokes. Plots, too, are ridiculous. In "X Marquis the Spot," Jack and Emilia visit Marquis de Sade's "Agony Island" in search of King George's crown. De Sade, clad in absurd red and black leathers, forces everyone to wear leashes and engage in S&M master/slave tactics. In "Shark Bait," Jack and Emilia enjoy a submarine ride in a machine that looks like a giant, Victorian fish, when their sub is swallowed by Leonardo da Vinci's great, great, great, great grandson, Captain Nardo's bigger sub. Scripted fantasy elements commingle with slapstick humor, satire, and physical comedy in this odd show destined for cult classic status. With Sam Raimi as executive producer and Eric Gruendemann and Josh Becker, of Hercules and Xena fame, as directors, Jack of All Trades got that extra dose of twisted, off-color humor needed to make it a truly original show. --Trinie Dalton

I would rate this as a PG13 to R -for TV viewing, based on the heavy inferences in the dialog. I purchased this after viewing the Brisco County Jr. series that Bruce Campbell was in. I looked forward to his action filled - Family rated - style from Brisco. I couldn't have been more disappointed. The inferences are about what you'd hear on teen-age "B" movies.

I was surprised to discover this series had been released on DVD. I watched it when it first came on TV, being a Bruce Campbell fan, but was very disappointed. While the 2 stars were good & had great chemistry as a team, the stories were just too silly and I wasn't surprised that it didn't last long. It's hard to believe that this show has been released on DVD and not Special Unit 2, a smart funny clever show that actually lasted 2 seasons. I've been waiting for SU2 to be released.

I was disappointed when Jack of All Trades was taken off the air and am very pleased to find it on dvd. If you like comedy full of plays on words and one-liners you will enjoy Jack.

Any fan of Bruce Cambell should really enjoy this set. Incredibly funny, lots of puns, and a little bit cheesy. All in all, good stuff. Great gift idea for that Bruce Cambell fan.
