The Jamie Foxx Show

"The Jamie Foxx Show" was Jamie Foxx's next T. V. venture after "In Livin' Color." "The Jamie Foxx Show" was Jamie pretty much played himself: a comedian from Terrell, Texas who moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in show business. He worked at his family's hotel run by his Aunt Helen (Ellia English) and Uncle Junior (Garrett Morris). While working as little as possible Jamie King (Jamie Foxx) would constantly make fun of his coworker Braxton Hartnabrig (Christopher B. Duncan), and try to hook up with his beautiful coworker Fancy (Garcelle Beauvais). It was hilarity as Jamie Foxx hammed it up.

"THE JAMIE FOXX SHOW," in my opinion, is an absolute WB classic! I haven't seen every episode, but I still enjoyed it. It's hard to say which episode was my favorite. However, I think it was always funny when a mishap occurred. I always laughed at that. If you ask me, it was nice that all of the main characters had stayed with the show throughout its entire run. It seems that no one stays with a show throughout its entire run. Everyone always gave a good performance, the production design was spectacular, the costumes were well-designed, and the writing was always very strong. In conclusion, although it can currently be seen on BET in reruns, I hope you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

"The Jamie Foxx Show", on first glance, isn't all that bad. Garcelle Beauvais is a beautiful actress, Jamie Foxx is a great actor with a very lively character and the rest of the characters sorta fade to the background.

It gets awkward when watching the second episode. It's too simple. The title song says it all; it's simple, my baby rocks my world. That's it. Are we supposed to just watch Garcelle flick around with Jamie, period? Now the character Jamie Foxx is great and although the concept isn't all that original any more after watching Fresh Prince of Bel Air, he does pull it off pretty well.

But do we really want to look at 20 minutes of Jamie Foxx saying funny things? Where's the plot? The interaction? It feels like a bad excuse for a sitcom and after the first episode you'll watch it with a frown on your face.

This show is one of my favorites. I do not mean to be bias but I love this show. Jamie Foxx is so funny on this show. Every episode makes me literally laugh out loud. In order to really love this show as much as I, you have to like Jamie's witty, silly, wild, slap-stick and sometimes corny sense of humor. Jamie is absolutely my favorite character and Braxton is sometimes good for a laugh also. The only problems I have are that while Jamie is SUPER funny and cracking jokes all of the time, the other character can be very cheesy, not funny. Also, in the later seasons they brought in an Asian-looking lady as to play maid who turned me off completely. I hated when she spoke. Her fake Asian accent was horrible. Nevertheless, this show is the bomb.

This show is a classic that you can watch over & over. I get so upset that every time I come on this site, the Black shows have low ratings. Pure racism. This show is one of the best.
