Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

ValaBlack I know people talk about how it's great to see a show that isn't centered around sex - and I agree with that one point, that it would be great, if the show didn't seem to be fueled by sexism and racism.I only watched this show because I love Jennifer Lawrence, and I found after a few full episodes, I had to start scanning through and mostly just watching her scenes. Even then, it was disappointing to see her have to deliver such terrible writing.It was so predictable and incredibly offensive that themes of male dominance and women's place being in the home were consistently perpetuated and the kids were pretty spoiled much of the time. It was always father-knows-best and mother never being given credit for all she does. Similarly, there was talk about how Bill needed to show his power or he would lose it altogether, rather than equality in relationships and mutual partnership.It was also extremely problematic to have an episode which basically promotes child maltreatment as acceptable if used to teach some sort of lesson. The episode in which the kids refused to clean the garage unless paid or rewarded (I will grant you this furthers my point of them being written as fairly spoiled), so Bill decides to revoke all of their privileges - which he states to include both food and light, among other things. These are not privileges, and what astounded me was that he brought all the food to their bedroom so the kids couldn't even make their own dinners. I suppose I could have let it go if they were at least given the option to fend for themselves, but to deny basic human necessities for survival is not punishment - it's abuse. I know it's a TV show, but to reinforce the notion that such treatment is acceptable under any means is absolutely abhorrent.And those are just a few examples of why I take issue with this show. I appreciate some people liking it, but honestly, Jennifer was the only redeeming factor for me, and had she not been part of it, I certainly would never have continued watching past the first five minutes, if at all.

eden052383 This show is repulsive. The "jokes" are delivered badly and they're not funny at all...not even a little bit catchy. The acting is absolutely terrible, not the least bit convincing. And what's up with Bill Engvall stopping the show you're watching for a good thirty seconds so he can try and promote this lame so-called comedy, sitcom...whatever?!. Talk about bad advertising-that has to be the worst! You don't want to irritate your viewers even before they see your show! Whoever thought up that idea must really be a moron.And also, this show makes me regret ever having grown up in the south because the people on this show (mostly Bill) bring out the worst in southern people. Women must stay home and tend to the man when he gets off work, and God forbid let a black man walk in the house.

psychopath_1989 This Has To Be A Joke Write.This Show Is Not Funny Its So Hilarious In A Way Because Its So Bad These Characters In This Show Have No Talent. I Really Never Thought Bill Engvall Was That Funny Any Way Or His Other Stuff Like Blue Comedy Collar. What Ever Happened To The Good TV Shows Like Full House Or The Wonder Years TV Shows That Were Made With Spirit & Heart& Passion Don't Waste Ur Time Watching This Show Its Flaccid & Silly & Also Pointless.There's A lot Of Shows Out There Im Sure That Are Just As Horrible But I Don't Know Cause I Don't Waste My Time.There Really Isn't Anything Good On Anymore The Good Shows Were The Ones That Were Made Back In Like The 1960s 1970s & The Early 1980s Where The HE*l Is All The Comedy Gone To.

danielalcantar The Bill Engvall Show is terrible on almost every front. Bill Engvall as a main character is one of the worst in recent memory. He isn't funny, he has no comedic timing and he is just plain laughable as a "therapist". The jokes and family situations are topical and predictable to the point of being cringe-worthy. The advertising campaign for this show is also the worst I've every seen. Pausing quality shows on TBS for a solid 30 seconds while Bill talks about his mess? Give me a break.Perhaps my biggest problem with this show is the culture which is represents. NASCAR has signed the big contract with ESPN, Larry the Cable Guy's movies made obscene amounts of money and redneck culture in general is now right in the middle of the mainstream. Doesn't it upset anyone that NASCAR can't show the center of the track because of all the confederate flags on the RV's? Bill Engvall represents all this and more. The "family values" displayed in the show are nothing more than an excuse to show a white, upper-middle class family in which a heterosexual marriage heads the parenting role, being highly functional and displaying the kind of virtues that have allowed things like the Iraq war and Bush re-election to take place.Never has a white, upper-middle class family been portrayed as being so steady and so "united". The undertones to Bill Engvall and his entire career are glaringly obvious. You can feel the pro military ideals oozing out of every trashy pore in this terribly written, racism-perpetuating show.
