The Jeff Foxworthy Show

The Jeff Foxworthy Show

The Jeff Foxworthy Show is the name of two short-lived television series starring comedian Jeff Foxworthy and based on Foxworthy's stand-up comedy routine.

The first series aired on ABC during the 1995-1996 season, but was cancelled after one season. NBC picked up the show for the following season, but it was again cancelled after one season. Foxworthy later remarked that the network did not understand how to properly market his humor.Fact|date=February 2007 In the first season, thinking his routine was "too southern" for a national network, they based his sitcom in Bloomington, Indiana. In the second season, the show was based in his hometown in the south, and the series was given a redesigned opening and theme.

One oddity never explained was in the first season's finale, Karen gave birth to a baby girl; in the second season premiere, there was no baby girl, but rather an additional son, who was several years older.

When the show moved to NBC for its second season, in addition to the casting changes, the show's production changed. In the first season the show was recorded on tape; the second and final season was shot on film.

Bill Engvall and various other comics such as Jay Mohr and Bob Saget made regular or cameo appearances, as did country singers Tim McGraw and Travis Tritt.

A very young Haley Joel Osment and Jonathan Lipnicki played Foxworthy's sons.
