Next year, the Pearsons will be returning once again to the small screen. TBS has decided to order yet another season of The Bill Engval Show, the solidly rated sitcom that stars comedian Bill Engvall. Determined not to mess with success, the network has ordered 10 more episodes of the show, which will premiere next summer. To ease the long wait, however, the network will also be producing two holiday episodes of the series to air in December.

Written and Created by Engvall, The Bill Engvall Show premiered in July 2007 and after a successful pilot run, was renewed for a 10-episode sophomore season, which just ended its run last month with an average of 2.3 million viewers. The show also ranked first on ad-supported cable in adults 18-49 for its 9pm timeslot.

Comedian Bill Engvall will attempt to charm viewers once again by giving a humorous look at what it takes to be a parent in today's world on the second season of The Bill Engvall Show. The Emmy-nominated sitcom, written and created by Engvall and Michael Leeson (The War of the Roses), has been renewed last September and will begin the first of its 10-episode run tonight at 9pm on TBS.

On the series, Bill Engvall plays Bill Pearson, a family counselor who can't always read his own family. While his profession may give him the advantage to figure out his family, that doesn't mean that he doesn't face the typical parenting issues like allowance controversies, driver's licenses and parking tickets, all while trying to keep the spark alive in his marriage with wife Susan, played by Nancy Travis (Becker, The Jane Austen Book Club) and balancing work with family life.
