To quote a friend of mine: "This show will last exactly four episodes, and I will watch all four of them."

Was looking forward to it but ended up disappointed after catching it. Seemed very choppy and the only humorous moments were on the commercials leading up to the episode.

I expected it not to be that funny. I wasn't disappointed. Completely overshadowed by the awesomeness of a Roddy Piper guest role on It's Always Sunny.

Worst show I have actually sat through ever. Usually id turn crap like this off, but I figured I had to give it one full episode. This was a huge swing and a miss.

I didn't even realize that was Roddy Piper...holy crap...MANIAC
I can only hope you were contractually obligated to pimp this mess.

The show did struggle, but the blatant vulgarity was awesome.

I enjoyed the 'Happy Birthday' song.

So the show features 5 guys but their draft board had 7 owners on it.

for whatever reason when Ruxin tells the brothers to "go get a room and rub dongs or something" for holding up the draft i laughed hysterically. it obviously wasn't the best premiere i've seen lately but it wasn't the worst. i don't think it faired as bad IMHO as secret girlfriend on comedy central or Flash Forward on Abc.

Haha, that guy picked Forte, he's screwed!
At first I thought it was a six team league and that is weak...then they mentioned the others on auto-draft but I still couldn't figure out how many teams. You know it's teevee because their wives look like models. I only laughed during the birthday song, the rest was pretty much all bits from commercials. I'll give it another shot, but it's looking 'doubtful'...get it?!

Hilarious is way too strong of a word, mildly entertaining may even be too strong but I did like how they picked the draft order...

Watched it and was sorta entertained. It definitely had its funny moments. Girlfriend seemed to like the show more than me which made me wonder if she might be laughing at me instead of with me. At its best it was curb your enthusiasm and at its worst it was two and half men. but I guess you might say that about a lot of comedies. It averaged out to mildly funny...probably not a must see.
I did like when the kid guru dismisses the Jay Cutler pick by 'predicting' he'll throw 4 picks in his first game...

It's unfair to compare any show to the television excellence of Sunny. Anybody who has not seen that show is MISSING OUT in a huge way.....can't believe I hadn't heard of it until about a year ago. Am now caught up thanks to Blockbuster Video.Seriously, watch it. Best thing on TV (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)

I'm going to get some guys together and craft a drinking game based on the number of nether region references. My wife was like, "Is that really all you guys ever talk about"?
I think the fact that this show is on FX will give it a longer run. I agree that if it was on network TV then it would only last a few episodes. But the cable guys know it takes longer for their shows to gather momentum.

The birthday song was great, and the overall snarkiness of the guys was pretty awesome as well. When the one guy was being dragged to an event for dogs with Down Syndrome ... I thought that was funny. And some of the little throwaway lines weren't bad either ("Tim Brady, #####es!")
Not the best show on TV, but far from the worst ... and a hell of a lot funnier than much of the current network stuff.

This show (as it is) would never be shown on network TV. Too rude/rough. Fortunately those items only make me want to watch

The draft. The only really insane pick there is Derrick Williams

Coming from a guy who calls people "losers" who use proven fantasy football data for success pimping this show in this thread is pretty lame.I'm hoping you're getting a kickback of some form for doing this.........

Okay, it's not just this post - you're a major ##### around these parts. WTF is wrong with you? You just joined. Ease up. The i-tough guy shtick has been done in a much better fashion that what you're doing.Grow up already or find another forum. FFToday would welcome your immature crap with open arms.

It was a joke, and you just joined as well.Calm down, #####.
You "joke" a lot. It was a historic month when I joined. You missed a lot.
There's 8 teams. You can tell by the pick #s on the board. The end of round 6 is the 48th pick.

The 8th slot is left blank on the draft board.

Then the show made a mistake.I dvr'd the show. When the camera pans you can clearly see there are only 7 teams drafting.
He is who he is, leave it alone. Once the guy ripped on the entire fantasy football world for even considering "Strength of Schedule " and called them all losers I kind of "checked out" of caring what he thought.I jumped into this one cause I find pimping a lame sitcom in this thread to be very very lame.

When they started the draft and were waiting for the main character they said 'two guys are on auto draft' and thought he said two were on the phone...I was assuming they had someone else floating around to make it a 10 team.7 team league is pretty freaking weak, though.Taco and his Happy Birthday song was pretty funny, even though a bit predictable. It felt a bit extreme, like the lawyers switching first rounders while working the plea bargain for the criminal.I had assumed it would be more like the movie Office Space with dudes in cubicles spending all day on FF. Given that it was probably the pilot, they always try to jam as much as they can, so maybe future episodes will slow down a bit and expand more on the characters.So the show features 5 guys but their draft board had 7 owners on it.

My point was that you consider SOS too much, but continue to play the victim if it serves your purpose, Reverend Sharpton.

C'mon guys let it go. Can we please leave this thread to just be about the crappy new FF sitcom?
