"Perfect"

By marysuperfly, Nov 18, 2006

Another hilarious installment! The gang try to give back by coaching a basketball team, but end up finding their own way to exploit the situation. The competition between whose team is better, or who is the better coach, is genius! It just goes to show that these guys could fight over anything and no one come out on top. The writing is amazing! I don't know if there is a better written show on TV right now. The characters, although somewhat unusual, are completely believable. You can totally see this group of friends existing and going through these situations. Definitley one of the best shows on television, that I am praying does not get the axe.moreless

While this was a good episode it didn't live up to last weeks great episode ($100 baby).
The best part was undoubtably the basketball game where it all came together... or rather blew up. Frank fails to connect with Dennis after fixing the game so he could win money off of it from his Vietnamese friends. Dennis, Dee and Mac has all taught the kids to play "rough" and boy was it funny to see the kids stabbing each other. Charlie who naturally failed to get anywhere with the waitress shows up drunk as a referee and adds even more comedy to the situation.
Overall a hilarious and just about as controversial as any other episode on the show.moreless

"Superb"

By bigQ, Jul 22, 2006

Let me start off by saying i love this show. I'm glad comedies still exist where every episode is nearly perfect.
I think they've done a great job with this show.

This episode is not as good as hundred dollar baby, but it still makes a great episode. It's still hilarious in many ways.

The gang all has community service to do. Dennis, Mac, and Dee are the new coaches for the basketball team while Charlie is in AA. Charlie runs in to the waitress when he is there. They go see the basketball game. Charlie tries to impress the waitress, so he is the ref. Charlie is the drunk ref who plays with the kids and blocks the shots.

This episode is hilarious! this show is great! this is probably the 3rd or 4th best episode of the show. Every episode of the show is just so godly. i can't ever get enough of this show. I give it a 9.3 out of 10!moreless
