So bad it’s good! TV show “Jack of all Trades”
« on: 19 August 2008, 08:21:59 AM »
Well it’s ok and still bad.  I just started watching”Jack of all trades” On  http://www.hulu.com/
For those into AWI, Steampunk, Napoleonic wars, Pirates, Hot English Blondes and an overabundance of really bad one liners, then this show is for you. It came out with other such notables as Xena, Hercules, Sinbad, Cleopatra 2525 Briscoe County Jr (made by the same company) and starting Bruce Campbell as Jack

 “American spy/adventurer Jack Stiles is sent by Thomas Jefferson to the tiny South Pacific island of Palau Palau to work with British spy Emilia Rothschild to stop the advances of the French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte in his bid for world conquest.”

Like I said there are so many bad one liner and really really off the wall historical facts (i.e. Blackbeard is fought the 3rd episode.  Black beard died in 1718 this takes place in 1801) So far it’s a fun little romp that they obviously did not take seriously and neither should you.

Not sure if anyone can see this on hulu outside of the USA.

I always enjoyed the series. It never took itself seriously and played really loose with historical fact, but it was fun.

I love this junky show...

oh, and you forgot to mention all the sexual innuendo....

“You can’t marry Napoleon, he’d be like a gopher on a golf course, in and out of every hole” And Vern Troyer (AKA Mini Me) as Napoleon…classic.
