Some believe Gene Simmons has over-marketed Kiss, others think he’s a genius and the rest are somewhere between.

When Simmons followed in The Osbournes footsteps producing a reality TV show I thought it would be really weak, but I caught a couple episodes through the Xbox Marketplace of the show Family Jewels and it was better than expected.

Gene Simmons isn’t playing the tongue-wagging Demon of Kiss, he’s makefup and marriage free with his former Playmate girlfriend, Shannon Tweed, and mother of their two kids Nick and Sophie. It’s a different side of the demon.

PVR The Family Jewels this weekend
Just heard about this from Long Paul on Sirius 19 Buzzsaw.

For those who have A&E on cable or satellite, this coming weekend they are running a 14 hour Family Jewels marathon starting Sunday September 30 at 5pm (EST, I think, see A&E TV schedule). Get your PVRs ready.
