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

Although the locale for the series is odd, the stories and characters are funny and memorable. Bruce Campbell is entertaining as always. He has excellent chemistry with his costar who is a great pairing with his character. There is practically no historical accuracy in the series, which lends to its humor. If you enjoyed Campbell in Hercules and Xena, you'd probably like this series also.

A fun slap stick/ tongue in cheek series. Well done, with the subtle innuendos and that classic Bruce Campbell swagger.
It is just sad that didn't continue the series but at least we got this.

This series is so much fun I have watched it about 3 times through back to back. It is really a shame it didn't make it a few more seasons. It is one of those lost treasures that just didn't find its audience until it was too late. Campbell is at top form in this charming and fun adventure series.

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.
