A softball episode? Really? Well, I guess it was inevitable for this show as we are now five seasons in.

Not a lot of laughs here tonight, other than Patrick Warburton showing why he gets so much voiceover work with his yelling at the other player. The whole Timmy in a relationship thing needs to stop, although I suppose him acting like Russell in the beginning was mildly amusing.

Rules of Engagement just needs to focus on what this show wants to be. A bunch of cliched marriage jokes, or something that can be looked back on in 10 years as a memorable sitcom.moreless

Another absolutely hilarious episode of Rules of Engagement, this show has really impressed me lately no matter what the ratings are on this site. The softball scenes didn't quite suit this show, but we got some funny one liners here. From Jeff yelling at Audrey when she was enjoying the day like Jeff told her too, to Audrey revealing she's quitting her job and everyone coming as Jeff is having a discussion with her.

It was just hilarious, the whole plot really was, and we also got some development now that we know Audrey is in fact quitting her job. Adam & Jen continue to be the weak links of the show, we learned from the last episode, they're not very necassary additions to the cast, and these plots just show that the writers have no idea what to do with them. Creating a new story on how you met, yeah that's original, I'm being sarcastic.

Timmy not getting sex was quite funny and it was entertaining to see him frusturated and taking it out on David Spade's character. I definitely think the characters need to branch out though. Like why can't Jen interact with Timmy, or Audrey interact with Adam, that's definitely what the show is missing at this point.

Overall a good episode, with some really laugh out loud moments.moreless
