TBS has ordered 10 episodes of the show, which will return to the network in summer 2009. The original sitcom stars Bill Engvall. He is joined by returning cast members Tim Meadows (Saturday Night Live) as their neighbor and Bill’s best friend, Paul Dufrayne; Jennifer Lawrence (The Burning Plain) as their daughter Lauren; Graham Patrick Martin (The Girl Next Door) as their son Trent; and Skyler Gisondo (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) as their son Bryan.
Engvall serves as executive producer, along with J.P. Williams and Mark Kunerth. James Widdoes directed all the episodes from the first two seasons, while also serving as executive producer. The series is produced by TBS.
“There’s something about this cast and this show that gives you a good feeling inside, which is probably why it’s won the hearts of so many viewers,” said Michael Wright, senior vice president in charge of the Content Creation Group for TBS, TNT and TCM. “Their dedication to continually growing the show is evident in the work, and we look forward to a new season of even funnier episodes.”
“I can’t tell you how thrilled all of us on 'The Bill Engvall Show' are that we’ll be back for another season on TBS,” said Engvall. “Working so closely with people you care so dearly about and with a network that gives you such unbridled support is truly what makes this show work.”
Set in a Denver suburb, the show revolves around the Pearson family and their humorous look at parenting in the 21st century.
