To be a fan of FXX’s The League, you don't need to know much about fantasy football, or sports at all. You just need to have friends that you hate. The ensemble comedy follows a group of old friends in a fantasy football league who care deeply about one another - so deeply that they use every opportunity to make each other's lives miserable.

The show has already been renewed for a sixth season.

Netflix needs to get with the season 4 having; I need to rewatch because I had thought the ending meant Trixie wouldn't be back and I have absolutely no memory of the Shiva being won, at all. It wasn't as strong as the first few seasons, so I wound up not rewatching episodes which has led to not remembering most of what happened.

And episode 4
is total 'go either way' material. It is either going to be fantastic or it will totally suck, I don't see much middle ground.

I still don't know if I get this channel. Fox Soccer is in a sports tier that I don't pay for. I'm not forking out extra for a tier I'm not even going to use for one damn channel.

Well Cox told me that it'll remain in the sports tier till they figure out where to move it, basically I'm boned for this season.

Excited. Not sure it is my favorite comedy on TV right now (its up there), but I think it makes me laugh more than any other. Totally nails (if maybe in an exaggerated way) how guys act together with all the ball-busting. I love it.

Fuck Cox, this the answer I got after asking them about FXX.

We are reevaluating the future location of FXX due to Fox's decision to change the format of Fox Soccer, but for the time being it will remain in the Sports & Info Pak. We may move it in the future when we have an opportunity to do so.

I like how they've known since Jan this was going to happen but really did jack shit.

Ugh really mad I'm not going to be able to watch Sunny and the League because my school doesn't get FXX... Any chance FXX would end up streaming episodes online?

So my gf has never seen this show before so I decided I'd go back and start at Season 1 so she can figure out who the guys are and everything.

It is so jarring to hear/see names of players that only a few years later have had huge downturns or have retired.

Like they mention taking Michael Turner in the 1st Round in episode one. Dude can't even find a roster spot now. Torrey Holt? retired. Then they mentioned a few depth late round picks that I had to look up to remember.

Damn the NFL runs through players quick.

This is the first time I've ever seen the show. Are these guys an improv troupe? I know that I've seen them elsewhere on other programs, but they are all working really well together here.

Most of it is improv.

Raffi and Andre have a podcast called "How does it get Made?"

If you have netflix I recommend watching season 1-4.

Ruxin and Andre are stand up comics (and were in Upright Citizens Brigade), Taco was a youtube comic musician, Pete is an Indie director/writer, Kate is Pete's wife, Kevin was in the WTC on 9/11 and decided to give acting a shot.

Ha! Since we had our draft last Friday the Blair Walsh thing had me dying only because of an inside joke in our league. Anyway, decent enough opening episode.
