Carpooler Comedy Not Without Speed Bumps

The premise of a comedy set within a carpool may have raised a lot of eyes during its first debut, but lately the results are nowhere near as eye-raising. Though it might be unrealistic to expect entire episodes to sustain themselves within a single carpool, the plot of Carpoolers interferes so much the eponymous carpool is reduced to a glorified book-end. Everything from the cast to the comedy itself is a well-oiled machine, but plot keeps moving so much, none of these elements are able to effectively burn rubber.
