Legendary rock god and multi-hyphenate Gene Simmons returns with
his unconventional family for an all-new season of A&E's hit
series GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS. Season six answers the
question will Gene, the God of Thunder, finally tie the knot with
his beloved partner Shannon? The longest-running celebrity
family-based series on television begins with a shocking moment
for America's most traditional, non-traditional family. With Nick
and Sophie away at college and Gene's rock star ego at an
all-time high, Shannon decides she needs to re-evaluate their
relationship and leaves her longtime boyfriend. Now Gene and
Shannon must decide if they want to movie on with the next phase
of their lives together. Viewers will get a fly-on-the-wall look

never-before-seen corners of their personal lives, including
Gene's emotional visit to Israel, a special visit to the troops

There's a lesson delivered in this first part of the
sixth season of A&E's reality series Gene Simmons Family Jewels:
If you with nearly five thousand women (by his count,
anyway), including many that your spouse can't help but know
about, eventually there will be consequences. But will the Kiss
bassist and front man--described by his own kids as a guy not
much given to self-examination--get it? It doesn't take long for
Simmons, or us, to grok that not everything is perfect in rock
star land, as the very first of these nine new episodes opens
with him revealing that Shannon Tweed, the former Playboy
playmate and his significant other (they're still unmarried) for
nearly three decades, has grown weary of his rant, almost
constant philandering and moved into a hotel. Even the supremely
clueless Simmons (not that he's mercenary or anything, but this
is someone who equates money with "the implementation of love")
knows the situation is serious, and many of these scenes--Tweed's
resentment and despair, Simmons's skepticism about seeing a
psychiatrist and gradual realization that he's at fault for the
whole deal, children Nick and Sophie's reactions--are among the
entire series' most genuine, despite their being played out in
front of a TV crew. But the couple does stay together, traveling
to Israel, Simmons's homeland, where he meets several
half-siblings for the first time; paying tribute to troops in
Texas; and visiting Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where Tweed grew up
and people ask for her autograph, not his. To be sure, much of
this seems artificially staged for the cameras, but the fact that
those closest to him will no longer put up with his selfish
behavior--"Be a better man," Tweed says simply--nicely sets up
the events to follow in the second part of the season. Meanwhile,
aficionados will appreciate the inclusion of eight previously
unreleased episodes from the fifth season, which occupy the third
disc in this set. --Sam Graham
