Another one of Peter Engle's predictable boring cookie cutter sitcoms along the lines of Saved By The Bell,New and Old Class,and City Guys.The gimmick here is a boys team with a girl as the star player, Julie Conner(Danielle Deutscher).Man when a girl is the MAN on your boys team then that team is in trouble. Of course Julie and Mary Beth Pepperton(Megan Parlen) are still in high school even though the show started in 1995 and it is now 1999 heading into the year 2000.Same old Peter Engle look at reality from Peter Engle.Deutscher,Parlen,and Amber Barreto are cute to look at though.They are the show's mainstays.The actors that play the boys on the show from the beginning to now aren't worth a mention,that's how faceless they are as a group. Neither Reggie Theus or Dick Buckus could really bring anything to their roles as coach of the team,couldn't have Engle gotten a real actor to do the job?When it tries to be a comedy it falls flat,when it tries its' hand at social commentary remind yourself that this is a Peter Engle sitcom and everything will be all right at the end of the half hour.Hang Time has its' fair share of episodes for syndication.It is time that this lousy show be retired for good.
