What To Watch Tonight
If you haven't already heard about this show, you may want to pay attention for the next few paragraphs.
There is a new comedy series on FX call "The League" which had its premiere last Thursday. Now let me first throw out this disclaimer - I did not see the premiere last week (flag football playoffs), so I haven't even seen this show up to this point.
With that said, I'm sure some of you have seen the previews over the past few months on FX leading up to last week's premiere. The previews look hilarious.....in fact I haven't been this excited based on a preview of a show since probably "Lost".
If you have no idea about what I am talking about here is the premise of the show:
This show is a new comedy series from FX about a group of friends who are in a fantasy football league. The show is centered around this fantasy football league and how the emotions stemming from the league branch out into the guy's relationships, work place, marriages, etc.
Something we can all relate to right?! Well, here is the supporting nod...the show was created by a husband and wife team; Jeff Schaffer (Exec. Producer - Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm), Jackie Marcus Schaffer (Disturbia).
FX also very brilliantly sandwiched this show between episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. If you're into that show then you might love this show.
As I said earlier, the previews thus far looks hilarious, and even my wife said I would love this show (I play flag football and she watches The League while I'm gone....lucky dude right here)....so there you go. That should be all you need to sit down, take a break, and take a chance on a new show tonight.
