Yeah, because cut-off suits, racing silks, and Shobuns were SO dignified.

This ain't Comedy Central. It's not meant to be funny.

That's funny. I thought the show was supposed to be funny and goofy, especially since it's based on a playground game.

"funny and goofy" <> "light".

Obviously there are some comedy aspects, because as you say, they are doing a serious sports broadcast of a playground game.

But there's "light comedy" and then there is "beating you over the head with it". Obviously GSN has decided they can be intelligent while still being funny, and be more respectful of the athletes, instead of relying on the visual comedy of a Sumo throwing a ball at a midget.

I like it, you don't. Hardly surprising.
