Synopsis

Jack of All Trades is a half-hour long syndicated action-comedy television series which ran for two seasons in 2000. With Cleopatra 2525, it formed the Back2Back Action Hour and both shows were notable for being the first American non-animated action series to be produced in the half-hour format since the 1970s. The show was canceled in the middle of its second season. The program is set at the turn of the 19th century on the fictional French-controlled island of Pulau-Pulau in the East Indies. Jack Stiles is an American secret agent sent there by President Jefferson. While there, he meets his British contact and love interest, English spy Emilia Rothschild. Together, the two work to stop Napoleon and various other threats to the United States. To the public, Jack is seen as Emilia's attaché, but when the need arises, he transforms into a masked hero: The Daring Dragoon. The show contained many on-going gags, such as deliberate historical inaccuracies, Jack being responsible for many important historical events but not receiving credit, Emilia inventing a miraculous invention in an obvious deus ex machina, sexual puns and innuendos, and Jack and Emilia's ongoing romantic tension.

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
mark-1984 First of all, this is a silly, and irreverent show that obviously does not take itself seriously. Therefore, neither should the viewer. It is the absolute pinnacle of "low-brow" humor ... which is exactly what it is aiming for. It's a real shame this show did not survive more than one and a half seasons ... fortunately it's preserved in one DVD set to be enjoyed over and over.Bruce Campbell is at his best, and he's surrounded by a supporting cast that plays well to the far-fetched, hokey scripts. This is definitely not for those who expect to be enlightened or "challenged" by their television. This is pure, unadulterated fun.It should also be noted that this show has, quite possibly, the catchiest 'theme song' in television history.
psporavage yes people will complain about the cheesy dialogue or the predictable plots. but its Bruce Campbell doing what he does best. The shows main fault was the plots were too rushed. It should have been a hour long like Xena and Hercules. Oh well it will always be better than that dismall Cleopatra 2525.
ghost-9 Bruce Cambell is an excellent and talented actor. He is good in these light-hearted goofball roles but he deserves better. The fans are watching this stuff because they know what he's capable of. The fans watch Xena cause it has humor and great T and A. I would have much rather seen good stories. Silly, impossible high jumps and improbable story lines just prompt me to change channels. What a waste of talent. Makes people take the fantasy genre even less seriously than they already did. You cut your own throat in the long run with an overdose of schlock and camp.
Andrew Benjamin This show is just great. It's funny and has great acting and is also a little bit educational when it comes to 19th century America. I predict that Jack of All Trades will be on for a long time on television and who knows, they may make a movie on it.
