"Monday Night Football"

Nice. Glad to see we're getting a new episode this week.

Pretty good episode.

Marshall squirting the kid with the juice box was greatrotfl

The ending was a bit lackluster to me. seemed to just fall off, they didn't know what to do with it.

I thought it was an okay episode. Emmitt's line about dancing was great though.

Definitely not the best one, but not the worst one either.

I didn't laugh once. If it's not the worst episode ever, it's a contender to be in the bottom five. It just felt like a really bad 80s sitcom. Especially the physical slapstick nonsense when everyone was about to learn who won.

Why have this guy's kids not just told him to shut up or get to the point already? Why are the writers not using the stupidity of the premise as part of the comedy? (okay, they did ONCE - when Ted's father revealed how he met Ted's mother)

I should have spent the half-hour re-watcing the 'Simpsons' SuperBowl episode instead. Now THAT was funny.

Ted's drunk scene was one of the worst impressions of a drunk I have watched. Not funny in the least. This was a throw away episode. Nothing memorable and little was funny. But it still was a harmless diversion.

I did like the flashback to past Superbowls:

"Who cares about Janet Jackson?" :lol:

At least they had Lily's hair red in the flashbacks.

I liked the Emmitt Smith line too..did make me laugh...a mediocre episode overall...but better than most other drek...
