Favorite Schmo Season?

I wanna echo everything that you just said.

Season 2 wasn't good at all because Ingrid caught on too fast, and you had to feel really bad for Tim because not only did he not even come close to catching on, but he really liked the girl that he THOUGHT he was fighting for.

He was sooooo devastated at the end, and I thought that they would never do another season after that catastrophe (I just hope he didn't kill himself)

Fast-forward 9 years, and I was shocked to see that they decided to bring this show back after all this time. I thought (in my best Matt Kennedy Gould impersonation) "What is going on?"

And, when it was all said and done, Season 3 had its funny moments (the casual pouch, pooping in the urn, the leap over the bannister, Mr. Wentworth, "You heard that?", "I saw yo bawws"), but nothing will ever compare to...


WHAT


IS


GOING


ON?????

I'm watching season 2 right now and can't believe the premise. Seems cruel.

Crude.

Some funny parts. Discomforting altogether.

I miss season 3 already.

I'm a seeker too. But my dreams aren't like yours...

I actually thought season 2 was the best by far. It's not that cruel. The "romance" was very innocent, after all they never even kissed. Bryce the stalker and Gerald the gotta be gay guy were hilarious!



Strikeouts are boring. Besides that, they’re fascist.

I've just re-watched Season 1 and it's good, but I think #3 was funnier, especially with the "Casual Pouch", the spirit animals, Mr. Wentworth, the funky paintings, Lorenzo Lamas...

Matt was a bit of a horndog, which was getting annoying. ("Yeah, I'd like to hook up with Dr. Pat, err... Molly... wait I mean Ashleigh!") But I really liked how he always "stood up for the little guy" when he protected Kip from Hutch. He was also very thoughtful when it came to giving Dr. Pat his trip after sending her to the hospital. The emotion he showed after Earl's eviction was just heartbreaking. He wasn't afraid of Hutch or the TV exec. because he wasn't in it for the money, just to find some friends. He was like, "Yeah, hold me in breach of contract then!"

What I liked about Chase is that he is a good family guy who was very encouraging the other members of the cast. And even though he was put in these ridiculous positions (having to work with a deaf girl giving him instructions, the Casual Pouch, the escaping convict) he never put anyone down or got mad at anyone. He even went along with a lot of it (the whole spirit animal trek at the end!) I loved his heart and how much he wanted to win that competition, but he wasn't going to compromise himself for it.

Another thing is that Matt has later said that the show made him feel stupid, and I'm sorry to hear that. I don't see it that way. I think it was a test of character and he proved himself. He should be proud, not embarrassed. So far, I haven't heard anything like that from Chase. The end scene when he yells, "That's my wife!" brought me to tears. I only wish the producers of Season 1 would have thought to have some of Matt's family there at the end.

Overall, I liked Season 3 just a bit better.

Season 3 - 8
Season 1 - 7
Season 2 - Haven't re-watched it yet, I only remember that the girl figured it out which totally sucked.

I'd go with:

Season 3 > Season 1 >> Season 2.

I finished season 3 earlier this week and thought it was hilarious. Some of it seemed WAY over the top but funny as hell. When I finished watching the last episode I thought it was great but that season 1 was better.

Then over the course of a few days I watched season 1 again. Not AS good as I remembered it being. Some parts were sort of uncomfortable and Matt wasn't as likeable as I remember him being. Some parts he was just plain annoying. Kip and Hutch were funny and the girls were hot.

I never cared much for the second season The girl figures it out way too fast and I never really thought having 2 "Joe's" was that great of an idea anyway.

I'd say they're all equal. I don't quite recall the ins and outs of the first season, as I haven't watched it since it aired, but of course it was great. My cable company's On Demand had the second season available this winter, and I was able to re-watch it and catch the finale that I missed (and which Spike did not re-air) back in 2004. The second season is brilliant in my view. This third season also did not disappoint. The actors had a much harder time, but that's part of the fun.

Season two by far. I liked that the Jane Schmo figured it out pretty quickly and they had to get her to become part of the cast, I want to see two Schmo's if they ever do another one of these.
