Bill Engvall is slowly but surely taking over your television.
Brett already told you about the annoying commercial-within-a-show ads for The Bill Engvall Show that TBS is running, and now comes word that the show will air this Monday night on CBS. The second season of the show starts on TBS June 12 and the cable network is trying to get the show some attention. In return, CBS can plug their shows on TBS.
I'm afraid The Bill Engvall Show is one of those shows that has escaped my radar, though I did see one clip from an episode that was actually pretty funny. I don't think that running an episode on CBS is going to make me watch the show that night, but I have to admit that this news did at least remind me that I should check out the show this summer and see how it is.

Don't be afraid of having missed it on your radar...be afraid if you end up in front of screen showing it. I've seen the promos for it the last couple of times I've gone to the movies and it looks WRETCHED. And I'll give bad sitcoms the benefit of the doubt, but this one looks like the worst parts of Jeff Foxworthy and George Lopez put into one basic cable mess.
Or maybe they decide to just show all the non-funny parts in the commercials.

I watched two episodes from last season. It's not a very good show. It's not funny, the stories are kind of dumb, and the acting is dreadful. For some reason I really wanted to like it, though, which is why I tried the second episode. It was a waste of 25 minutes of my life.

I like the show. My whole family watches it. Bill is funny and his wife is the MILFy Nancy Travis. What's not to like?
