"Ok if your a fan of any sort of Freak Show this is for you. You get to hop aboard the Jim Rose Circus as they travel and actually get to know the people as they are aside from performing. You have Lefto thats all around nice. Jim as an overly nice person yet if need be can be a dick.

Check it out it was very good. I loved it. Its got alot of rewatchablility"

Good DVD!!! Great show.

"I went into the DVD not really knowing who Jim Rose was and not knowing about his sideshow. After watching all 7 episodes on the 2 disks, I cannot wait to go see him live in a few weeks. Each character on the show is unique and very funny. Cappy the yo-yo man is hilarious (so are Lifto and Rubber Boy!). The tour travels all around America and takes a lot of visits to very unique places (sideshow museums, sewage facilities, GWAR's headquarters, ostrich farms, and more). You get to see Jim setting up the shows behind the scenes and what goes into putting on the show. There's also a lot of footage from the performances. Jim is a good guy at heart and you get to know him and his "family" along the course of the tour. This show was one of the original Travel Channel shows when the station debuted. It was canceled after 5 episodes, but the 2 unaired ones are included here. I wish there was MORE of this show - but I'll definitely be watching these DVDs again sometime. A great buy. The only complaint I have is there is a good amount of re-used footage throughout the series, but it isn't too shameless. Buy this if you're sick and tired of the "reality" shows that are currently on TV (yet there are some staged events and talent auditions in the Jim Rose Twisted Tour shows. What do you expect? It's a TV show!)."
