Editorial Review:
Set in a Denver suburb, THE BILL ENGVALL SHOW stars comedian Bill Engvall (Blue Collar Comedy) as Bill Pearson, a family counselor whose own family could maybe use a little dose of counseling. He works with dysfunctional families all day and comes home to what he sees as perfection, but in reality they are somewhat absurd, unpredictable and just as mixed up as any other family. Nancy Travis (Becker) plays his witty and loving wife, Susan, who tries to keep the family in line. Bill and Susan keep busy raising their teenage daughter, Lauren, and sons Trent, a sports and video game enthusiast, and Bryan, a musically talented neat freak with a pet snake. The kids love their parents but also know how to manipulate them. Also adding to the family dynamic is Bills mother, an outrageous senior with the energy of a teenager. Comedic actors Tim Meadows and Steve Hytner round out the cast as Bill's closest friends.
The Bill Engvall Show: The Complete First Season Reviews:
compared to 
2009-11-23 - I seen a little of the show, it's kind of life watching malcolm in the middle, according to jim and still standing. This show belonged on fox more than tbs. Bill is good comic, but a terrible actor.
Gotta love that Bill Engvall... 
2009-11-09 - First of all, you have to like the comedy of Bill Engvall to enjoy this DVD. If you don't think he's funny, the DVD will do nothing for you. But if you like him, as I do, the entire season without commercials is great!
Not Enough of a Good Thing
2009-09-27 - It's too bad Bill Engvall's show has been canceled! This was one of the rare sitcoms our family of four could watch together and everybody enjoyed it: parents, 10 year old, and 14 year old kids. The cast was strong and kept things relatively clean AND it was funny! It's a sad commentary on our society when everything -- and I mean everything -- these days is an "unscripted" show because they're so much cheaper to make. Now we get served up 5 nights a week of Jay Leno in prime time? Give me a break! I agree with another reviewer that this was at least one show I didn't have to cover my kids eyes to watch all the way through. Shame on the network for giving up on it too soon! And please release the second season before my kids go to college (which is a not-too-subtle hint that there is a strong market for shows like this and others like it -- e.g., "Family Matters" which has yet to see the light of day on DVD and may not for another 20 years).
perfect... mindles... entertainment
2008-08-29 - this is a world of to much sex... to much drug use... to much violence... and just plain to much questionable activity... it's great to sit down watch a tv show... and not feel the need to cover my childs eyes... thank you...
Sitcom 
2008-07-20 - Thanks to the writers strike,there isn't much to watch on tv for the summer 08 season.So the alternative is too buy shows like this one to watch instead.The Bill Engvall Show is a typical sitcom produced by TBS,and its not a reality show,imagine that!
