This show is off the hook
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.
One of the better shows on the WB
This was one of the funniest shows out there! Jamie Foxx had me crying laughing every time! His character was so convincing that he could get away with anything he pleased since he was just a bellhop who moved up in the business with his uncle and aunt at the Kings Tower Hotel. But he always was cool with his co-workers like Braxton and Fancy(especially when he tries to fall for her),but sometimes could come up with a scheme for anything,usually with hilarious results. Great show! Man,can he sing too!
A decent 1990s sitcom starring the Foxxman himself!
In 1996, Martin was winding down on its run, and in that same year, we get introduced to a new fresh face, after appearing in the 3rd season of Fox's In Living Color and having a recurring role on Roc, and that man is Jamie Foxx!
Foxx plays Jamie King, an aspiring musician who supports himself by working at his family's hotel, owned by Jamie's Aunt Helen (played by Ellia English) and Uncle Junior (played to hilarious perfection by Garrett Morris), and their co-workers, the uptight hotel accountant Braxton P. Hartnabrig (played to absolute perfection by Christopher B. Duncan) and Jamie's love interest, desk clerk Francesca "Fancy" Monroe (played to perfect "fanciness" by the beautiful Garcelle Beauvais).
So, if you want to see Jamie Foxx before he really became famous, check out his underrated sitcom and you'll have some chuckles here and there.

Great show....
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.
An absolute WB classic!
"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.
