“Go On”: “Videogame, Set, Match” episode demonstrates sweet side of comedy

In the upcoming episode of “Go On” titled “Videogame, Set, Match” airing at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13 on NBC, more of the sweeter side of the comedy is emphasized as Ryan (Matthew Perry) becomes closer to Owen (Tyler James Williams).

Owen has been avoiding visiting his brother who’s been hospitalized in a coma after a skiing accident.

After some serious video gaming bonding time, Ryan is able to get Owen to go to the hospital, but finds out the hard (and funny) way just exactly what quality of his brother’s Owen misses the most.

Meanwhile, Yolanda (Suzy Nakamura) makes the leap of graduating from the grief therapy group, but the move may be a bit premature.

Perry and Williams have a good rapport and its enjoyable to watch their characters connect.

Also, the ensemble cast is entertaining as the group members assist Yolanda, and NBA star Chris Bosh also guest stars in this episode.

“Go On” is a comedy with a nice mix of dark humor, sarcasm, grace and humanity.
