The actor who played Bryce was on Arrested Development last night as a worker at the Country Club Restaurant. I was so waiting for him to do something psycho! Also, the actress who played Piper has been in a razor commercial (guy and girl in convertible in the car wash) that has been on for a few months. When is a new season starting?

Unfortunately, Spike TV and TPTB have not made any offers for a third season. Heck, we're not even sure we'll get JSII on DVD! Write Spike and demand that DVD (unedited, of course), here is the feedback page - http://www.spiketv.com/interact/feedback/feedback.jhtml 'squeek'

I thought I heard somewhere that Joe Schmo III was going to be a prank on a whole town, with William Shatner at the helm? Anyone else heard these rumors?

THey did film the Shatner Schmoe of the town. There were articles about it, although I couldn't tell you where they were anymore. I don't know when they're going to air it, though, or even if it will actually carry the Schmoe name -- maybe just the concept.

(Reposting since my original post was lost.) Here's some more information from Muggum (producer Rhett Reese): http://invasioniowa.spiketv.com/ -- A change of plans since my first blog entry… Spike is presenting Invasion Iowa in miniseries form. It comprises five hours of television, not eight, as originally announced. The show premieres Tuesday night, March 29 at 9:00 P.M. and continues at 9:00 P.M. for four consecutive nights, culminating in a two-hour finale on Friday, April 1st, from 9:00 to 11:00 P.M. Appropriate, probably, that it all ends on April Fool's Day.

link TV Review: 'Invasion Iowa' Thu Mar 24, 9:25 PM ET By Ray Richmond LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The self-deprecating marvel that is William Shatner carries the day in "Invasion Iowa," a mock reality series-cum-improv comedy miniseries that brings to the testosterone-encrusted Spike TV a long overdue sense of style. At once a Hollywood sendup and a spoof of the unscripted genre itself, the four-night, five-hour show (concluding with a two-hour finale April 1) starts out like a sardonic jab at Smalltown America. But it quickly evolves into something of a lampoon of showbiz convention itself, one that revels in the stereotypes and excesses so prevalent on movie shoots while illustrating that hayseeds maybe aren't quite as dumb and sheltered as we expect them to be. On the down side, if those who are cast as the butt of the joke aren't entirely clueless, the premise loses a bit of its irreverent steam. "Invasion Iowa" carries off its mockumentary premise with deadpan aplomb, if not quite as brilliantly as, say, Christopher Guest in "Waiting for Guffman." The gambit: Descend on the town of Riverside, Iowa (population 978), because it's the future birthplace of "Star Trek's" Capt. James T. Kirk (Shatner) and something of a Trekkie convention hotbed. A Hollywood group arrives, allegedly to shoot a kitschy indie sci-fi flick starring Shatner, hiring locals as part of the cast and crew. Of course, there is no movie, only a TV show documenting one. Only six people are in on it: Shatner and a handful of improv actors who portray his spiritual adviser, his assistant, his body double/nephew, his unstable and promiscuous leading lady and a ballbusting female studio exec. Everybody is gloriously over the top, as they should be, and the local Iowans, while sensing something is a little off, go with the outrageous flow. But in the first two episodes sent for review, it's really all about Shatner. At 74, he is bloated of face and expansive of belly. But he's also a man impressively in touch with his inner ham. Shatner obviously is comfortable with the idea that he's become a living joke because of his clipped, dramatic intensity, and he's taken that ball and run with it. The self-parody fits him like a glove. Even Shatner's sincere moments in "Invasion Iowa" reek of cheese, making for diverting -- if decidedly unpolished -- theater. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter

They are in a barn. Table with William Shatner, Farmer Wade is the support coloumn of america, he's getting a chance to act, "he's so in tune with himself, he's himself" says William Shatner. On the table is an Emmy, and a fw other "Hollywood types?" They seem to be interviewing, maybe for a movie and William is critiquing everyone. Here's Kurt telling that he is William's nephew and what part he plays... this guy gets right up in my face, he looks scary, when he came in, "you could tell this guy is like this IS my DREAM" Ok good, Uncle Bill I was talking to him before and he's a stand up commediane" ok , tell me a joke" "you got the job"

So far this show hasn't hooked me like both Schmo's did in the first 15 min. I have been so excited for this, I hope it picks up before the end of the hour or I don't think ppl will tune in tomarrow.
