After two "short" seasons of six and four episodes each, the raunchy HBO football sitcom
1st and Ten offers a full complement of 13 half-hour installments as the series enters season four. This year, the series' subtitle is "
Going for Broke," indicating not only the game plan of the California Bulls, but also their perilous financial status. As ever, the three main characters are
Delta Burke as voluptuous team owner Diane Barrow,
Reid Sheltonas profanity-spewing coach Ernie Denardo, and O.J. Simpson (still a celebrity by accomplishment rather than notoriety during this period) as former quarterback T.D. Parker, now the team's general manager. Episode titles this season include "Ernie's Last Quarter," "A Second Chance Once Removed," "A Loaded Gun," "
The Comeback Trail," "Illegal Use of Love," "The Bulls Change Hands," "A Mutiny on the Bull Team," "The Brink of Death," "Call for the Hall," "
Blood on the Moon," "Land of the Free (Agent)," "Of Scalpers and Superstars," and "Championship Game Jinx." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
