FOX’s “Going Dutch” continues its fish-out-of-water antics this week with “Korfball,” an episode guaranteed to leave you wondering, “What the heck is Korfball?” And honestly, isn’t that half the fun?

This week, the Americans and the Dutch face off in a high-stakes Korfball match – a sport that combines elements of basketball and netball. The Colonel, ever the competitor, wants nothing more than to crush the Dutch. (Subtle, he isn’t.) Meanwhile, Captain Quinn, desperate to impress her ever-disapproving father, dusts off her high school Korfball persona, “The Rocket.” Expect some seriously questionable athleticism and perhaps a flashback or two involving some truly regrettable ’80s sportswear.

“Going Dutch” continues to mine the inherent awkwardness of intercultural relations for laughs. It’s the kind of premise that could easily veer into offensive stereotype territory, but so far, the show has managed to stay (mostly) on the right side of the line. While the humor isn’t always sophisticated, it’s generally good-natured, and the cast has a solid comedic rhythm. Will this week’s episode deliver the same goofy charm? Tune in and find out.
