Jeff Foxworthy's Comedy Classics (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

This special tribute traces the roots of this truly American art form, from the storytelling of Will Rogers and the heyday of the Grand Ole Opry, where colorful comic characters like Grandpa Jones, Minnie Pearl and Rod Brassfield became famous household names, to comedy legend Andy Griffith sharing priceless clips and memories from his days as a young stand-up comic and decade-long run on The Andy Griffith Show, to Bill Engvall ("Here's Your Sign"), helping Foxworthy introduce us to some of the funniest comics working today. Featuring classic and contemporary clips from Don Knotts, Jim Varney, Jerry Clower, Junior Samples, Brother Dave Gardner, Gary Mule Deer, Etta May, Steve McGrew, Larry The Cable Guy and many more.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
