Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After faking his death, Kenny Powers is now a family man, with his wife, April, two little kids and a home in the suburbs. He works at a car rental company, and encounters Guy Young, another former baseball player who runs a successful sports talk show. Kenny is invited for a night out with Guy and other former sports stars friends, and decides that he would like to pursue fame once again.

Our Take

The final season opens with a surprisingly domestic Kenny, and the setup work pays off in some solid suburban-dad comedy before the old ego kicks back in. The Guy Young material feels a bit padded, though, and the whole thing coasts on familiar Kenny beats. Fine as a restart, just not a funny one until the last few minutes.
