BB is pushed till 2 am here due to baseball, so I'm not worried about it.

But I might not be able to watch the finale, since my step-mom has shows she wants to watch...

So I might be in chat tonight to try and get a play-by play..
But it just won't be the same. :P

I sure hope the re-play the last 2 hours. I set my tape to tape for the entire 10 hours and I guess it ran out of tape before it ended! Argh!!

If anyone hears about it being replayed please let me know!!! HOw disappointing.

Spike's scheduling has to be the worst ever. They've done everything possible to kill the ratings on this show.

Me too!! Spike is almost as bad as ABC!

They had the funniest, most clever show on tv and they bury it at 11pm then switch nights.

I am taping it and can't wait to see it!!!

I haven't been able to watch the whole show yet but I wanted to tell you all that Rhett has updated the Joe Schmo Blog - and get this, he says that they don't know if there will be a dvd of JS2. I really truly hope that they do one!!!

Also, the Joe Schmo 2 website has been update with the latest episode summary.

Loved the ending! I would love to hear some follow-up especially since Muggums teased that there might be a "romance" between a schmo and either a previous-schmo or the final schmoette! "Jackpot" was hysterical. I really ended up loving Tim. Amanda turned out to be a sweetheart, too, and Ingrid was just fabulous! I hope they do replay this again. I always find things when watching again that I missed the first time and I wasn't able to tape this last night because of the scheduling conflicts.

This was the best reality show ending in a long long while! I liked Tim in the end too, he was a little overly critical of everyone at first, but in the end he won me over. I always liked Ingrid and Amanda. It's really good that they all live in DC and can keep in touch, they seemed to really get on well.

Great Show, wonderful humor!! I loved how Amanda said "I know her,, she's a comic from LA, I mean... " and how the cut to Austin forgetting his lines!!

Loved how genuine Piper comes across in the final, its the part where you really believe no cutsy editing for storylines were obtained!! I think that's what I like best about the show, they already have a storyline, so they dont need to edit it to create one, or prompt reality to get their storylines..

or the fact its really reallly funny... gotta love the music they chose for the background also!!

I wonder why they were on this network, I really would like to see them on the comedy channel, or even MTV, they have such a gift, its a shame more people werent able to see it!!

Reader, maybe since it was on Spike and not seen by more people will be the means of having Joe Schmo 3! They screen the prospective Schmos so they know their viewing habits, etc so they could possibly have more Schmo candidates if fewer people have seen the shows already. But, the catch is if fewer people watch the show, the less likely the ratings are high enough to warrant an on going series.

In short, I agree that it's a shame that more haven't seen it. It's great!

I loved the finale. One of my favorite parts was Austin explaining his decision to Amanda. Between the music, the word but, and Tim's facial expressions whenever Austin said but... I couldn't stop laughing. That was priceless.

Caught the finale last night. WOW! That was sooooooooo freaky when they all raised their hands that they're actors, almost scary! I really felt bad for Tim and felt he was fighting back tears the whole time, he took it like a trooper, I was glad to see Piper get so emotional, it was pretty cruel because Tim liked her so much and they seemed to have real chemistry, I have no idea how I'd handle it. Great show, I'll miss it big time!

does anyone know if there are any interviews etc. happening . Please keep us posted on times if you see any talk show appearances etc..
Do we know if they plan a follow up special like they did with Ralph and Matt?
Laura, it's really great to read the blogs over at the Joe Schmo website. Rhett(Muggum) had some misgivings about tim's crush on piper, but they didn't realize he had it, because they interviewed him every morning to insure that he wasn't falling for her, and he would pooh pooh the idea. They did all they could to prevent it, and it took them a bit by surprise.

Essence, that cracked me up too! I thought Tim was going to explode. I was cracking up when the "crazy" guy interrupted the wedding and Tim wanted to punch him. OMG, you can't script TV that good. It was great to see the look on Tim's face as he was told what was really going on.

This show is one of the funniest on TV. I think Amanda and Tim make such a cute couple and seem so relaxed with each other, but Tim probably won't even think about asking her out.

I fell in love with Amanda and was so happy to hear the producers did too. When they said she lit up the room with her smile and eyes, they weren't kidding. She came across as such a natural, it was eerie; always laughing and smiling.

Very interesting that all 3 Schmoes were from the DC area.

I missed the first hour because my TV book had a different start time. If anyone knows when it will be reshown, I'd like to know.

Thanks.

I live in the DC area, and it is no shock to me at all that they found 3 Schmoes here....I think we are definitely the Schmoe capital of the free world!

Is anyone else going through withdrawals still?

Pamy: I went to the website you suggested but couldn't find where there was a discussion about Joe Schmo - what was I missing?

Stop by the TiVo Community at:

http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=31

You don't have to own a TiVo to post. (I don't have one.) If you search for "Schmo", you get a list of all the threads on Joe Schmo. For Joe Schmo 2, each episode has a separate thread. For the original Joe Schmo Show, everything is in one thread.

Muggum and, occasionally, Ralph Garman have been posting throughout. In the Episode 9 thread, Ingrid and Amanda started posting.

(And, yes, we love to see Pamy on both boards.)

Thanks for the links!! I like the TiVo board (so far) and now that I (semi) know how to navigate, I'll go back and try to catch up on discussions.

Lucky you Pamy for being able to benefit from Ralph's humor every day. I'd feel as if I'm alone in my joy of JS if it wasn't for those in messageboardland since there is absolutely no one in my personal life that watched it.

This scene from "A Clockwork Orange" might give you an idea about what to do with your friends and family:

Does anybody still have the 2 hour final episode on tape?

I recorded the whole show during the marathon that day, but didn't get the finale.

Strangest thing....I was doing some search of webcams in Florida (because of Hurricane Frances) and found one for a bar in Key West. I've recently been to Key West so I was interested in seeing the cam. When I started watching, there was a guy at the bar who looked remarkably like Tim from Joe Schmo..lol. I can't tell if it's just my feeble mind playing tricks on me since I'm in Joe Schmoe withdrawal or what...but of course it's one of those cams that you can't capture images from. Darn.
