The thrills and chills of being the guy who gets bats for baseball players is the source of the new lightweight drama Clubhouse. A series of carefully manufactured conflicts lead conveniently inconsistent characters into obvious moral conflicts. At least for me, it doesn’t work on a personal fantasy level, and it’s far too stiff to be involving as a drama.
The shame of it is that the show uses the talented Christopher Lloyd and the amiable Dean Cain in roles they wear easily, Lloyd as the equipment manager and Cain as a ballplayer.
