"Jewels" did even better in its second season than in its first, leaping by 15 percent in total viewers to a 1.5 million average and climbing by 11 percent in adults 18 to 49 and by 8 percent in adults 25 to 54.

A&E's relationship with rocker Simmons started with a one-shot "Biography" hour of the KISS bassist/vocalist. The Washington Times reported that the Simmons "Biography" episode performed so well in the Nielsens that A&E negotiated with Simmons and "Jewels" executive producer Leslie Grief to create a 13-episode weekly half-hour series that would delve into the rock star's life with his life partner, former actress Shannon Tweed, and their teenage son and daughter.
