The Carrie storyline was really stupid here. Leah Remini is not funny enough to maintain a storyline of her own every episode and should just be there to provide some banter with Doug. Where would they come up with the notion that she would be mentoring anyone?
I did like the appearance of several MMA stars (Rampage Jackson, Frank Trigg, Dan Henderson and Randy Couture) as the Doug storyline is interesting. The idea of a rival company hating IPS and getting in a 1950's like gang feud with them is pretty funny, even if it was not executed in the best way.moreless
AIRED:
Doug befriends a driver from one of IPS' competitors, but eventually discovers it's just a ruse to make him the butt of a joke. Meanwhile, Carrie becomes a mentor for a troubled teen, but isn't the best of influences.
