After just three episodes it's clear that The Bill Engvall Show is uninspired and just not funny. Since this first season was only eight episodes long, I'm glad the suffering wasn't too drawn out. The plots for The Bill Engvall Show are so flimsy, a show like Home Improvement looks like comic genius. Bill wants a motorcycle for his birthday, instead he gets a moped. Susan reveals she had sex with Chris Issak when they dated in college. Bill gets jealous when Susan's muffin business is a huge hit at his office — not exactly scintillating plots.
Tim Meadows and Steve Hytner (Bania from Seinfeld) in their supporting and recurring roles are usually responsible for the brief laughs that The Bill Engvall Show elicits; however they don't save the series from being a largely unfunny and pointless experience.
The two-DVD set is presented in the standard format. The set includes a series a series overview, interviews with Bill Engvall, Tim Meadows, and Steve Hytner, a set tour, and a fan-letter answering feature with Bill Engvall.
