The second, and last, season of The Jeff Foxworthy Show comes to DVD with all 23 original episodes on two discs. If you’re a redneck you’ll love Jeff Foxworthy in his first TV show, or so states the cover of season 2. Unfortunately not even Foxworthy’s  following could breath extra life into the show which had an interesting span of star power from Foxworthy himself to Haley Joel Osment and Jonathan Lipnicki as his sons to G.W. Bailey as his Father. Guest stars on the show included Jay Mohr, Bob Saget, Travis Tritt, and Tim McGraw. If you enjoyed the show during its brief run now’s your chance to see it again.

The second season on a new network, totally resturctured, is mildly chuckle inducing at best, not that the first season was knee slapping cry yourself silly hilarious. So what went wrong this time? Foxworthy and Ann Cusack, who plays his wife this time (yes from the same Cusack family as John and Joan Cusack),  just doesn’t seem to have any chemistry whatsoever, the fortunate grace of having decent child actors which the show rarely seemed to utilize, and an overall sense that the show itself simply could not find identity. Foxworthy had stated that his first stint with the show was simply marketed all wrong, that ABC did not know how to market his particular style of humor. Well the family dynamic in this more southern version of the show was simply that of the Tim Allen “Home Improvement” variety, the comedy seemingly based in a cultural sense without enough of an outreach to intrigue other audiences. The shows confusion translates to the viewer in a big way which keeps you from fully enjoying the jokes and from seeing the acting as anything but wooden. As far as the total package its bare bones. Basic audio and no bonus features whatsoever. If you have to have it its there but considering all that it has to offer it would do just as well as a rental. As always, the choice is yours. Enjoy.
