[5.3/10] Here we go again. Another episode where basically no plot within the episode fully works. What can you do?
Let’s start with the best and also the worst. It stinks that the cause of Tefl-Andre turns out to be that he has a ringer feedin gim lineup tips and insiuults through an earpiece. Heaven forbid we just let Andre get a clear win for once or make any progress. And his earpiee falling in the dip at the wine bar is such a corny sitcom development. That said, Jay Glazer wins the price for the most natural comic actor the show’s had from the world of sports, even if he too is a jerk to Andre for no real reason, so that has to count for something.
Then we have Ruxin dosing his own son to make himself look better at work. Ugh. There’s a version of this storyline that could work, but it feels like the sort of thing that The League isn’t equipped to handle, and that South Park can (and did) better. Still, some of the gags about Baby Geoffrey’s mustache and chest hair, and his deilvery of “get out of my room dad” were worth a chuckle. And I tend to enjoy seeign Rob Riggle, even though the “your son better do well at this little league game because your job depends on it” is, again, such a cheesy sitcom bit of plotting.
The rest of the episode is weak too. Kevin having low-T and getting busted by everyone for it (including his wife) is the pits. Taco corp recruiting a new board member is a mild chuckle at best. And while it’s always nice to see Rob Huebel, the sex addict-to-wine enthusiast schtick wasn’t funny in the slightest.
Overall, season 6 is off to an 0-2 start, which is absolutely not promising.

It's moments like how the forfeit happens that really brings this show down, as it leaps from moment to moment.
