Blue Collar TV: Season 1, Vol. 2 (2004)

If you thought the Vol. 1 Blue Collar TV DVD was as welcome and satisfying as ham and red-eye gravy, you're only half right. 'Cause this Vol. 2 set (3 discs, 18 episodes) completes the Season 1 fun and, like the previous volume, builds each episode around a theme ? like "The Human Body," "Christmas" or "Gadgets." Pass that gravy and stay awhile, friends. Y'all gonna have some right-good laughs.

Blue Collar TV Lives Up to Its Name

Most comedy we see on TV which features "working class" people gives us an "up-scale" writer's idea or view of what these people are like. Blue Collar TV gives a working man's view of "blue collar" people and their comic life situations. I would have a few criticisms of the excessive scatology and excessive sex jokes, but these are really just reactions to the way things are today in our decadent American society. Jeff Foxworthy and the others in the cast work great together as a team. I like the much better than the individual stand-up routines of Foxworthy, Larry, Bill and Ron. All in all, Blue Collar TV is a breath of fresh air. I can't seem to find it on local Chicago TV anymore. I wonder if they are still doing it? January 24, 2007

LARRY RULES!

There's a reason why Larry The Cable Guy was the top grossing comedian of 2005 - he is the funniest man on the planet! I feel sorry for those who don't "git" it! Too bad they lack a sense of humor. March 10, 2006

Comedy for the ordinary blue collar people, and proud of it

The reason that Jeff, Bill, and Larry are so popular is because their comedy is geared for your ordinary American worker. If you don't like the humour (ie the last three reviews) than you are probably one of the 'upscale viewers' that the show sometimes pokes fun at. All it takes is getting down to the Blue Collar level to enjoy these sketches, and believe me they are pretty funny. Yes, they do tend to redo some of their routines, but that tends to be because they get a laugh every time they are used! These guys manage to come up with fresh humour for every show, and I have not seen an episode yet that was a complete miss. In short: get off your high horse, get down in the mud, and laugh your rear end off. At the risk of being cliche, Git-er-done! February 16, 2006

Some things can remind us TV is a soulless box

The two previous reviewers pretty much summed up my opinion of Foxworthy & co's sophomoric humor, but surely there's no wrong in voicing my discontent nontheless. "Blue Collar TV" was basically an ambiguous attempt at making Jeff Foxworthy somewhat relevant in pop-culture, for the hundredth time. Please, just disappear into the briny depths of television's obscure past.

The original concept was simple, if tolerable: Rednecks telling jokes about rednecks. Oh ho ho. Far from groundbreaking, but now these guys have a sketch comedy show? How many times can an audience cackle feverishly at the exact same dull mantras, like "GIT R DUN" and "You might be a redneck," despite the fact everyone knows these jokes by now, fan or not? When will these asinine groaners lose their appeal? When will pre-pubescent Foxworthy fanboys quit repeating these self-characteratures' jokes with their crackling croaks and feigned accents?

You are above this. (Unlike the silly muffins who voted "no.") Stop reading these reviews and exit this page.

Wow.

The fact that this ignorance and banality could be rewarded with a television show, a DVD set, and any fans at all is unbelievable to me. This kind of crap is exactly what is wrong with America today. February 5, 2006
