Jeff Schaffer said in his interview that he wanted a show that featured fantasy football and offended almost everyone. Sounds like he is on the right track.BTW it sounds like they have 8 guys in the league. At the draft they said they had one guy on the phone and 2 guys auto drafted.The show is terrible. They try to pass inappropriate language in front of 5 year olds as comedy. They have a unique way to determine draft position but it appears there are only 5 guys in The League.The show is not worth anyones time. That is my review.TorsionBar said:

Wow, this show was really, really bad. The plot was nothing more than a setup for bad penis jokes. Maybe I'm just spoiled by It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Checking the reviews online, it's not going to last more than a couple more episodes. Critics are slaughtering it, and for good reason.
ETA: Jon Lajoie (Taco) was the sole bright spot. He deserves better than this. If you don't know who he is, check his YouTube videos...you won't be disappointed.

There were a few FF related humorous parts but overall it pretty much sucked. Nothing wrong with a good wiener joke now and again but they went Bdeep on them in the first episode.

Pretty lame. But I appreciate the effort. Hopefully they come up with better story lines. I feel like I could write the thing better than they did. Appeal to the masses: F (they shouldn't even have tried, it would be better)Appeal to 18-45 year old male: C- (just for the effort)Was hopin it would be better, about what I expected.I have had and done much funnier and because it has happened, believable stuff. Like for instance, my league trophy, our rule was to bring it to the draft the following year after you had to give it up to the winner, so it could be done in front of everyone. I let the new winner I was using it as my butt scratcher until I had to give it up, I presented him with the trophy after scrathcing my butt with it for 6 months. Much better than leaving the thing in the street like they did, because, the dude,"wasn't going to play." And the guy is begging him to, it should have been more like," fu, you are playing you ___ing pansy." Not no please, please, bs and he shows up at the last second lameness.They tried. I really don't expect it to get any better, but I will watch because they have given the effort.

Season 2 starts in 2 weeks.
if you didn't get the show it's due for the entire 6 episodes last season, I think you missed out - I thought it was quality entertainment overall and I'm glad it got re-upped.
they get 13 episodes this season to make it or break it.
Unfortunately for those who missed it, I cannot find anything but the 1st and 6th episodes of last season online anywhere... and you can't enjoy the last episode without having seen the others.. it's not like Sunny in Philadelphia or Seinfeld... the story did build a little and many of the jokes rely on you having watched previous episodes.

Its obvious you have no sense of humor, and the show is not intended for your 5 year old kid, the fact you think it does shocks me. Its a grown mans fantasy league, do you think they would talk about Barney?The show is terrible. They try to pass inappropriate language in front of 5 year olds as comedy.
