He so frequently challenges the producers to concoct new plans on the fly that they're drawn into an actual competition they cannot lose with the man they're trying to fool. That makes this latest “Joe Schmo” a cleaner fun than the version previous seasons presented, even if it doesn’t warm our hearts like “Jury Duty” does. Instead, it proposes we cheer for a game rigged in favor of the good guy, something we see less and less of these days.

The new Joe Schmo, much like the old Joe Schmo, is a pretty mediocre show. Whereas Jury Duty benefited from adhering to a mostly traditional sitcom format and keeping its episodes under 30 minutes, Joe Schmo feels long at a 42-minute cable hour; watching a fake hacky reality competition can be even less entertaining than watching a real version of same, because the outcome of each challenge and elimination is preordained.
