I still think the death of this show is Spike TV, if not for this site, I wouldnt have explored Joe Schmoe, let alone Iowa!! jmho! I hate having to sit thru the "Girls gone wild" commercials, I know I come off as a "prude" but I am trying to raise my kids to respect, and I get humor and all, I'm just sayin, for now, its hard to watch it with kids! sheesh, I come off as a prude!

If it isn't a Shat, it isn't a hat!

LOL Jhezzie, I liked that too!

There were a couple funny moments but this was not even close to either of the Schmos. I hope it gets better.

I watched it last night and wasn't very impressed. Hopefully tonight it'll be funnier. It's on here in 2 minutes. (FYI-I'm on the West Coast.)

ARGH! My DVR froze last night and didn't record the second episode. I was waiting to watch until I had them all recorded. Anyone know if they are going to repeat these?

So is this show worth watching? I have them all recorded but we're just about to start looking at them.

YOu will either love it or think it sucks. I don't think there is an in between. LOL

I have laughed out loud a few times. I think they had a hard time pulling pranks on these ppl because they are so sweet.

You can see that Shatner has become really fond of the ppl in the town and that part is heartwarming to me.

I watched the first 2 episodes, boring. Last night I watched the last hour of the finale. It was entertaining to see how the people would react but still was boring.

I miss Joe Schmoe so much!

I was so touched when Shatner went to Rath's wife's grave. I had tears in my eyes, what a sweet man, God love him.

Ok, I was bawling at the end, it was very touching seeing them give all the gifts to the town. You could see how touched Shatner and the crew were.

It was very sweet of the crew to donate the money.

The opening writing of the movie was funny.

Pamy, I was boohooing too. Love Don Rath and his racoon penis bone!

What dear sweet people they were and I loved seeing the Hollywood people become emotional in admitting their hoax. I hope Shatner keeps in touch with Don and Scottie.

It would be neat to see a follow-up show to see how the town people are doing, how Scottie's vacation went, if the cue card lady adopted her grandson, and to definitely see the bench dedicated to Don's wife.

We finally got around to watching the first show. I'd agree that it's not ROFL material like the Schmo's were, but it seems like a funny, cute and kind of sweet little show. We'll watch the rest of them to see how things turn out.

I had to ask konashark to tape this show while I was out of town (hotel cable did not offer Spike, Comedy Central nor SciFi).
Finally got to watch it last night - so great to have all 5 hours in a row.

I laughed, I cried. We recognized cheesy song lyrics in the dialogue, we giggled at the foley (would love to see the behind-the-scenes deciding on those inserted sound effects - come on, Flipper in a barn???), and felt that everyone had love bombs for the entire town (even for Bill who was starting to figure it out after filming his punk scene). The penguin book really takes the cake - both versions were hysterical (hubby laughing so hard his eyes were leaking). Halfway through, hubby ran to the computer to see if Shats were for sale (nope, not even on eBay - yet). I was hoping Scott got his Hawaiian vacation. Jim's commercialism was spot-on!

Maybe we'll find out more from Muggum about the behind-the-scenes jockying that goes on when you are trying to fool a town (we loved the insights behind Joe & Joe 2). hint, hint.

Thanks for some great stuff!

A couple of comments from the town:
