TV GuideMatt Roush
This feels like the kind of show ABC used to churn out in its sleep.
Read Full Review >Washington PostTom Shales
There's a sort of comfort that comes from knowing you won't run into anything disruptively unconventional in a sitcom, and that would make Engvall as pleasantly lumpy as a dying couch.

You know a show needs work when its show-stopper is the mime.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesGinia Bellafante
There is a sense throughout that Mr. Engvall is betraying his core audience, and the whole blue-collar comedy ethos in particular, trading in one category of cliché for another.

The wacky situations and jokes on The Bill Engvall Show seem almost willfully dated.

Very unfunny.
Todd M. gave it a1:
This is one of a few sitcoms I have seen that have managed to make me angry that anyone would think I would find the show the least bit funny or enjoyable in any way. Are these people even trying?
LaLa R. gave it a1:
This is a GENERIC still standing. Not funny at all, really dumb jokes....who wrote this a 10 yr old. really dumb show, show more family guy instead.
Greg A gave it a1:
I don't understand...Bill is funny on tour. How could this be soooo bad.
Brian M gave it a1:
Bill's acting seemnged forced and his costar the wife seems not really interested in acting at all. It seems like a comedian trying to cash in on the fame he archived riding on Foxworthys fame. From a clip show to this disaster.
[Anonymous] gave it an8:
I love this show. Bill Engvall is hilarious.
Wade T. gave it a3:
The Bill Engvall Show is a depressing display of gutless television. Clearly trying to be a generic family sitcom so as to not offend, the show ends up providing nothing of merit. There are moments from the pilot and other episodes I've seen where good actors are asked to do ridiculously embarrassingly lame scenes that lead to every predictable endings. Really, do the producers of this show honestly think they'll attract an audience?
