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 loved this! It was light, funny and full of adventure. If you like Bruce Campbell you will surely like Jack of All Trades. Each episode is only 23 minutes but it didn't matter. I love swashbuckler type shows and these ones did not dissapoint me. I was very happy to find this on Amazon. It is a treasure for me to find because I have never found it in anywhere else but online. This is 5 stars all the way.

I really liked this series. It was comedic, action-packed and surprising. I only wished it wasn't over as quickly.

This show is a lot of fun for grown-ups! The costuming, clever dialogue, the obvious chemistry between the two stars, the intricate plots....and the good guys always winning, make a truly "winning" combination. HOWEVER -- I must agree with the reviewer who titled a review, "NOT FOR CHILDREN"...because this show definitely is NOT for children. I'm surprised it isn't rated...but I would give it an "R" rating, because
sexual innuendo is always in every episode. Not dwelt upon -- but always ... Read More

When this show originally aired, I never saw it because I had never heard of it. I found this show through Amazon's recommendations, and when I read the description I decided to give it a buy and a try.
Bruce Campbell starring in a post-Revolutionary, Colonial-era spy series - who wouldn't want to see that! Then when I watched the first episode I knew this was worth the purchase. The first scene has the French soldiers holding the President's niece prisoner, and then Bruce (Jack) bursts in through ... Read More

You've got Bruce Campbell, a mask, a cape, a remote island and Verne Troyer is your opposition trying to take over the world. It's like "Zorro" meets "Get Smart" and set in the early 1800s - but a whole lot better!
