The League

New FX sitcom: http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/theleague/

Basically, it's a sitcom, where the center focus bringing the characters together is their fantasy football league. Including the effects on their lives and vice versa.

Amusing so far, they make a lot of "draft" jokes and such, but there was a solid amount of humor in the non-fantasy-details league stuff as well. The way they picked their draft order is maybe the greatest idea in history.

I play fantasy basketball but dont follow football. You think the jokes aren't too football-related that non-football fans like me can still get into it?

Same question here. I might check it out later nevertheless.

No. It's mostly just a framing device.

Just watched the first episode. I think I'm hooked. Downloading the other 5 episodes.

Is it as good as Rescue Me?

Pretty funny show, the first few ones were alright, episode 5 was hilarious.

BTW, the bar in episode 6 totally looked like Paddy's.

Season two starts September 16th, right after Sunny.

I'm gonna check it out. Considering I'll be watching Sunny and 30 more minutes of my life won't kill me.

This show is beyond hilarious. I saw all of season 1 this morning and I couldn't stop laughing the whole time, this show is just too good.

love that show...hilarity all around.

oh god that was good

oh my god

i can't imagine how many takes that sorbet scene must have taken
