Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series, can't wait until season 2 comes to DVD, June 12, 2008

By	Mark Price "UK Movie Mad" (Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We really enjoy Bill Envall's comedy, but living in the UK, we get to see precious little of his work. So we were pleased to see he had his own series available on DVD and weren't disappointed. It's great fun, with really likeable characters - this is well observed comedy and anyone with teenage kids will recognise many of the situations. It started slowly in the early episodes, but got better and better and it's just a shame that there were only 8 episodes in series 1. It left us really wanting more!
I read that the show has just started a second series on TV in the US, so hopefully there will be more episodes to enjoy this year and roll on the release of series 2 on DVD so that we can enjoy it here in the UK too!
Well done Bill.

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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good show, May 22, 2008

By	www.theseriouscomedysite.com - See all my reviews

This show is surprisingly good. The 8 episodes here feature some pretty original stories and solid writing. Engvall and Nancy Travis make for interesting if somewhat standard TV parents. The kids are your standard TV smart alecs but not as annoyingly so as most. The supporting cast, however, is less than good.
This is a fun little family friendly show and better than most sitcoms on TV these days
