This week's Saturday Show Recommendation is The League.
In my opinion, this is one of the funniest shows to hit TV in a long time. Each season of the show centers around a group of 5 friends (+1 wife) and their fantasy football league that season. Naturally, as the show is about 5 males and the issues they might have together, as well as the fact that it centers around a fantasy football league - this show probably appeals more to guys...but I certainly know girls who enjoy the show as well.
I think the reason the show is such a hit for myself as well as many of my friends is because we all know people exactly like the characters in the show. Everyone's group of friends has an Andre or a Ruxon or even a Pete. We all have the know it all, or the guy who thinks he's way cooler than he is, or the guy with the hot girlfriend that makes no sense because he looks like a troll, etc etc.
Probably the funniest character on the show is Taco. He's played by Jon Lajoie. Taco is a free spirit who seems to have no sense of the real world, and no boundaries within it. He always speaks his mind, usually to the detriment of others around him. He makes his own deoderant, plays crude songs on his guitar, and both sells and drinks "Three-Penis Wine."
If you play fantasty football, baseball, or even fantasy frolf, this is a show worth checking out. If you have any friends at all with less than normal habits, this is a show to watch. If you just like laughing all the time while watching TV - tune into The Leauge during football season. Or you know...better yet...find the first two seasons and watch them now. You'll thank me later.
Until the next episode...
