The standout, besides Totah, is Andy Favreau as Michael's uncle and Vince's brother, Matt.

Good-natured, eager to please and not as funny as its pedigree says it should be.

With a little adjustment, "Champions" could be fantastic. The exceptionally diverse cast brings a lot to the table, and the writing is smart and fresh. But right now it's a bit too disjointed to be a complete success.

There's something immediately comforting about the new half-hour comedy "Champions."

Champions is a promising comedy, one that doesn't arrive quite as fully formed as recent NBC gems like The Good Place or Great News, but that offers enough funny moments and bright spots to place it squarely in the good category.

Two decades ago, when "gay" on television was a synonym for heroin addiction or psychotic icepick wielding, Champions might have been a truly high-concept addition to the TV lineup. These days it's just low comedy.

The most winning midseason comedy - at least until the still-unscheduled return of Trial & Error - looks to be Champions.
