Unsure..., 28 March 2005

I'm proud of my redneck heritage, except when Foxworthy is mentioned. Together with Larry the Cable Guy, he is the king of abusing the easy joke. If the show were mine, I'd keep Bill Engvall and Gary Anthony Williams and replace the rest. Even Ron White's appearances are too often.

As stated, I grew up in the rural south, but I'm not sure if it's because I'm educated, or if I have good breeding, but every punchline is telegraphed at the beginning of the sketch. I think I would find the show funnier if I sat in on the writers meetings instead of having to sit through the sketch itself. Example: the idea of using Ranch Dressing as a cleaner (spray it on your window and people come and lick your window clean) is hilarious, but the sketch ruined a perfectly good joke.

I am familiar with each of the stars' careers except for Ron White, who has done more to hurt "'Tater Salad" than my ex's recipe. Foxworthy started with an excellent franchise, but had to ruin it by turning it into his stand up act which was good at first, now that he must provide a weekly monologue, he's stretched past his abilities. Larry the Cable Guy was perfect on the John Boy and Billy radio show. Unlike Jack Benny, Bob Hope and others, he shouldn't have made the jump to TV so early as there can only be so many fart jokes in one show. Bill Engvall stumbled upon his "Here's your sign" bit early and I'm unsure whether that should have been only a book or a stand up routine. He, however, has expanded his stand up act to reflect his age (explaining what happens at a physical to his son for example.) Unfortunately, sensible ideas like this are left out of the show, to be replaced by plagiarized bits like an armless and legless stuntman!?! Super Dave was there first and better, guys. Politically Correct Fairy Tales? George Carlin. What Burns Me Booth? Rowan and Martins Laugh In. At least this list is long and distinguished. Original jokes from this show are not as plentiful. They are there, but again, a good joke is ruined by the sketch.

I have found moments of the show funny. Not enough to classify the entire show a success. I continue to watch the show out of my own stupidity, but in their defense, these guys know they can't please everyone all the time and they aren't trying. They know what their target audience is and they are aiming right at it with perfect accuracy. I'm sure they're glad everyone has seen the show, but for those who didn't like the show, these guys could care less. They do seem to be having fun and frankly, I'm envious. I wish I enjoyed my job that much.
