Gene Simmons: Mes bijoux de famille

Gene Simmons: Family Jewels is a fresh, entertaining, and enjoyable show.

Unlike the Osbournes, Gene's children - Nick and Sophie - have obvious respect for their parents and are amazing at improv. This show has non-stop laughs that aren't cheap, and leave you thinking about them for a while. The episodes are watchable over and over, and never seem to get old.

Family Jewels has little to no faults. I personally cannot think of any - it's just a great show! I greatly encourage all to take a peak, you won't be disappointed!

In a recent episode, Gene was offered a job which would require the family to move to Las Vegas. I found Shannon's comments about Sophie's future in Las Vegas to be incredibly stupid. First of all, a lot of really good people manage to support themselves and their families as poker dealers. The fact that she is worried about Sophie becoming a pole dancers speaks mostly to her parenting skills, not their living location,not to mention that these comment make me think that Shannon has no confidence in Sophie's abilities to make competent decisions about her own well being. I would think she would be more worried about Sophie becoming a PLAYBOY ho.

This is one of the better shows on television and it is not a reality show. Once you realize that you are watching an outlined sitcom, you find yourself cracking up. Much in the same vain as Curb Your Enthusiasm, this show is a "what if" look at a rock legend as he goes from situation to situation, making us laugh all the way.

The acting isn't the greatest. Or is it? Even though it is a sitcom, you find yourself wondering if this is real or not. It's a great concept that is executed perfectly. Much better than The Osbornes and quickly finding its way into the same ballpark as Curb. Brilliant work from the God Of Thunder.

I hope A&E keeps it around for a while.

Gene Simmons: "Family Jewels" is just fabulous a neat and nice reality show now in it's second season on A&E is very entertaining and informative to watch. The story lines are good, ranging from Gene traveling around the country to do appearances and even to serve as a grand Marshall of a parade! It gives an inside look at this rock legends house, personal collection of hobbies and it shows his cool and emotional side. Also the show shows footage of years back of home movies taken of him and the family members together. Plus it's all right to see his partner and female friend the ever hot and sexy Shannon Tweed! Many episodes have focused on Gene and Shannon's love like getting married, Shannon wanting to have another baby, her putting Gene on a diet, and even both going in for plastic surgery! Now that's some good realistic stories for a famous couple. The children of Gene and Shannon are also shown both Nick and Sophie are growing up, and Sophie appears to be another beauty in the making like her mother! Overall a pretty good reality show of a rock legend and his family, and most of all you will love the episodes when Gene goes back to visit his mother still living in New York. So good to see that a man with a painted face and huge tongue lives such an interesting and entertaining life!

I watched the Osbornes for awhile. Flashy dysfunctional is tiring.

I think Gene Simmon's Family Jewels is a hoot! The family is decent and loving, with nice friends and relatives. They run their own household, and the kids go to public school. It's easy to see the wheels turning in Gene's head: Marketing, public relations, investments, his rock star image played carefully- He colors his hair, remember?. And, Kiss Demon or not, the guy's 57, and his love and family are very important to him. Some think his family is so conventional it's boring. We'll see. Others said some unkind things about Shannon and were unforgiving about her past. Fooey on them, I think she's fun. It was inevitable that many would compare 'Family Jewels' to the "Osbournes" There's nothing wrong with a family that doesn't have substance abuse problems, or doesn't drink a whole lot. This way we get to know the family a little bit better. There's no sustaining entertainment in drug use or alcoholism, and any child who has to grow up in those conditions deserves better.
