Since everyone here loves Bruce Campbell...

Have you guys heard of Jack of All Trades? I just found this on Hulu today. Apparently it was on in 2000 and lasted 1.5 seasons. Bruce and Sam Raimi are the Producers. Bruce also plays the main characters, Jack Stiles.

The program is set at the turn of the 19th Century on the fictional French-controlled island of Palau-Palau 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 servant (she sometimes serves as his), but when the need arises, he transforms into a masked hero: the Daring Dragoon.

Watched the 1st episode today and it was incredibly cheesy, but that's kind of Bruce's style.

Yeah, I've seen an episode or two on TV.

It isn't that great, though it does have the typical Bruce Campbell campiness and trademark humour.

I actually just bought the complete series on DVD from Amazon for $13.99. I saw a few episodes on TV in the 2:00 AM time slot a couple years ago.

I've watched the first 6 episodes so far, and they are absolutely hilarious. The sight gags are mediocre, but the dialogue between Bruce and costar Angela Dotchin is brilliant.

Bruce Campbell (as Jack Stiles, American Super Spy) basically plays his usual smart-alecky wise-cracking self.
Angela Dotchin (as British Super Spy) is a super-hottie!

Mrs. Emilia Smythe Rothschild: Ten of your American dollars says God is a woman.
Jack Stiles: Which explains why nothing we do ever pleases Her.
Mrs. Emilia Smythe Rothschild: And also explains why we're no longer covered in fur and hunting our neighbors for sport.
Jack Stiles: Next you'll tell me God's British.
Mrs. Emilia Smythe Rothschild: I'm trying to break you in slowly, Jack.

I liked it well enough when it came out, but I haven't watched any of it since then.
