DVD Reviews of Gene Simmons - Family Jewels - Season One (Signature Series Collector's Set) (Amazon.com Exclusive)

DVD Review: A great watch.
Summary: 5 Stars

Funny. Somewhat contrived, season two seems more contrived than this one. I enjoyed every minute. Simple TV fun.

DVD Review: get this now before its gone.....
Summary: 5 Stars

A&E is discontinuing this collectors editon so get it now!

I enjoy the series very much, Gene is a funny guy with dry humor and the brunt of many jokes his family dishes out on him.

They come off as a real and genuine family who obviously loves and cares for each other.

something you dont see often from a family, yet alone a star family.

The bonus features are very good, I give it a easy 5 stars.




DVD Review: Great DVD Collection
Summary: 5 Stars

I've never been a fan of reality shows until I saw one with Gene Simmons. I'd seen him on one where he was teaching british kids music(forgot the name). I really loved that show and when I saw the first episode of HIS I was hooked.

Sure, he's a big showman but that's what alot of us grew up with him in KISS. The kids actually seem well, NORMAL for being the kids of a rock legend. Sure they don't have MONEY problems but they still deal with family problems - relationships, kids, etc.

I do agree with a prior review the box the set comes in is majorly cheesy. It's just thin plastic with pretty colors. Honestly -ignore it and throw the box away.

The album has a lot of nice pictures but it's not huge. So far I"ve watched all the episodes as well as the bloopers, interviews and his biography episode and I"m very happy with the quality.

If you're a KISS or Gene Simmons Fan, you'd be nuts not to pick this up. His office is a KISS fan's dream. I now see a season 2 one coming so I'll be looking for that release :)

DVD Review: The DEMON family man!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

A very nicely packaged box set in a family album style- 12 pages of family photo's 3 DVD's and 1 C.D.

13 episodes of family jewels
plus extras
bonus disc- episode of the feature on Gene by the Biography channel
C.D. of 2 early (pre-kiss) demo's.

The family jewels series is a candid (mostly unrehearsed / unscripted)reality show featuring Gene, Shannon, Nick and Sophie (and quite a bit of Shannon's sister). Don't expect to see much of Kiss, this is Gene's show! it shows Gene and family at home, shopping, on holiday, at parties, goofing around, getting prepped for cosmetic surgery- normal family stuff - for multi millionaire families, i'm sure. it's pretty entertaining on the whole with only a few dull episodes. it has a few cringe-making moments too, with Gene embarrassing himself and his family embarrassing him too! the episode where he meets a fan is almost unbearable and he comes across as a little rude.

He comes across as a very caring and decent family man who works really hard and it makes you question just how much you think you know of Gene is possibly carefully marketed image- the number of women he's allegedly had sex with seems to increase in hundreds every time someone asks him about it!

the features on his office (inside the demon's lair) are a little disappointing- each family member shows you around in turn- but basically points out the same stuff, so you don't get to see as much as you could! the other show extra's are ok.

the bonus biography disc is the most disappointing thing about this set. not so much a biography as 'what Gene's up to this week. not much history there at all!

the bonus C.D. however is inspired. The quality makes you wonder if they were maybe recorded more recently ( he only says they were written long ago!) but the feel of the tracks is certainly 1960's. if this is a taste of the forthcoming Gene Simmons box set (Monster)it will be well worth a listen. think first solo album type of material.

overall, i was really pleased with this set and would love to see the second series on DVD! well worth a look!!!

Description of Gene Simmons - Family Jewels - Season One (Signature Series Collector's Set) (Amazon.com Exclusive)

"Rock god, Demon or Dad? Who says you have to choose?

Take an unprecedented look into the (surprisingly normal) life of a rock 'n roll icon with GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS. The new real-life A&E family series steps into the home of the legendary, tongue-wagging rocker demon of KISS and Shannon Tweed, former Playmate of the Year, actress, model and mom. Gene and Shannon have been happily UNmarried for 23 years and have no plans to get married anytime soon. Their kids, Nick and Sophie, are surprisingly charming, well-behaved teenagers dealing with the trials and tribulations of adolescence, even though Mom and Dad are like no one else's parents on earth. Yes, Gene is a world-famous rock star and multi-media magnate, but he's also the kind of dad who brings Gatorade to his daughter's soccer games and stands in the front row of his son's rock band when they play gigs.

Get to know a side of Gene that he has kept hidden from the world at large until now, and see how the most non-traditional family in America manages to make normal life work under the oddest of circumstances.

In this very special Collector's Edition you'll find:

. 2 DVDs with all 13 episodes of season one of Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

. 1 DVD with a feature length presentation of BIOGRAPHY: GENE SIMMONS

. 20-page hardcover family photo album with photos personally selected by Gene as well as his commentary.

. A bonus CD with two unreleased songs from Gene Simmons' upcoming MONSTER: THE GENE SIMMONS BOX SET due to be released in 2007.

. The never-broadcast pilot of Gene Simmons Family Jewels

. The unseen ""couch interviews"": entertaining one-on-one conversations that reveal the family dynamic

. ""Behind The Makeup" featurette: a look at life as a KISS frontman.

. Hilarious but not-ready-for-prime-time Bloopers and out-takes from Gene Simmons Family Jewels, season 1

. Gene's History of Rock n Roll: his own insights on the truly great and influential musicians

. The Lost Songs featurette

As a special bonus, this Collector's Edition includes an exclusive music CD featuring two previously unreleased, never-before-heard songs from the man himself -- songs only available here! Accompanying the songs is commentary from Gene -- a letter describing the history of these two tracks and the thought processes behind their development. A required addition to the collection of any Gene Simmons or KISS fan, this DVD set should not be missed. "
