Less sharp writing (by Andy Borowitz, his first of five scripts) and a sports plot make this the weakest episode so far, yet I do like that we find out a little more about LaDonna, still a stereotype but with her own dreams and disappointments. Note that Lauren wants her and Patty to try out for the new girls' football team to be near the boys' football team, which is the first time she's shown interest in boys, at least in the abstract. And we actually see the kids in classrooms for a change, even doing a little schoolwork. (Patty is good at math.)
Caitlin Adams appears for the first of four times as Ms. Loomis. Karen Armstrong and Gary Towles return in their uncredited roles as Students.
