I just finished watching the season finale of The Joe Schmo Show. I only saw the last 4 shows or so, but I will be completely honest when I say that it was the most satisfying finale for a reality show I've seen so far. I truly enjoyed it, and got some good laughs out of it. The concept of the show is much like The Truman Show in many ways, where everyone but the protagonist is an actor -- and I really liked The Truman Show. Matt Kennedy Gould was the perfect guy for the show because of his personality and demeanor. He's strange, he's out there, he's likable, and he's always got something to say. I think Matt will have his turn on some other TV show, perhaps as a host or correspondent. Anyway, it was a fun ride -- as much as I saw anyway.
