The Bill Engvall Show - Renewed for 2nd Season
Well here we are the season finale of The Bill Engvall Show. It has just flown by. It seems like only yesterday that I was writing you about the season premier of my show. Over the last eight weeks I have been telling you about various aspects of putting on a show. However this week I thought that I would take the time to thank you the viewer for watching my show.
I am so blessed to have such great fans like yourself, not only have you supported me in my stand-up but now with the TV show. I am thrilled that you have stood up and said that yes we want a family type sit com. Sometimes I feel that the viewing public is over looked or not even considered when shows are put on. This is where I must give a great deal of thanks to TBS. They believed that my show is the type of show that the viewing public wanted to see and you answered with a resounding yes.
It looks as though we will be back for another season next year and more fun shows. Please tell your friends and co workers to give us a shot and watch the show I really think that they will enjoy it.
Tonight’s show is called “Go Ahead and see if I Karaoke.” It is about Bill and Susan going out to a Karaoke bar with our friends. Now if you have ever been to one of these establishments then you know it usually goes like this. People walk in and say “Oh no I am not going to sing, I will just watch.” Then a few cocktails get spread around and the next thing you know they think that they are Elvis, only without the good voice. I have personally experienced this. I think that when we are in the car or the shower and are singing along with a song we all sound fairly decent. But when you take away that other singer and we are on our own WE SUCK. (at least I do) I will say that karaoke is the best people watching place on the planet. Some night grab your better half and head on out to the local drinking/singing bar and sit back and watch the fun begin.
The B story tonight involves every dad’s nightmare, the boyfriend. Lauren has a date with a young man that I make a judgment call on merely on how he looks. Having a daughter myself I can tell you that I have done this one too. You try not to but you just can’t help yourself. It comes merely from a protective stand point. I will admit that I have made some mistakes in my parenting skills but I will also tell you that I am man enough to admit them when I am wrong. There is a really nice scene tonight between Lauren and myself. Jennifer Lawrence plays this scene to the max.
I have been truly blessed with having a great cast. I learned early on with this cast that you had better bring you’re A game or you are going to get left in the dust. Well I hope that you have enjoyed the first season of the Bill Engvall show and that we can count on your viewership for next season. Until then, from Nancy Travis, Tim Meadows, Steve Hytner, Graham Patrick Martin, Skyler Gisondo, Jennifer Lawrence and myself thank you so much for watching our show. Until next season may your life be blessed and your dreams come true.
Peace
Bill Engvall

I am SO happy your show got renewed, Bill! I can well believe those situations have been pulled from your life because, being a parent myself, I know this stuff happens. I think everyone can identify with what your TV family is like. I'm so looking forward to another round. Yea!

Great news, Bill. I just hope we get more episodes next year--this season was way too short.

That's Fantastic News Bill,
My wife and I have really enjoyed watching you and your TV Family live out many things we've experienced and, being the father of 2 myself, I'm sure will experience soon. Along with your show, I have really enjoyed your blog and the insights you've given on how a sit-com works.
Take care, enjoy the break and we'll be watching for you next season....which starts when?
Regards,
Rusty
