Let time not be wasted on the hating of pleasures!

This blog was made to host the television reviews and share the thoughts of regular viewers. It includes the reviewer's episode rating and his or her favorite line(s). The point is to break the monopoly of the professional snobs and bureaucrats on serious commentary and take intelligent public opinion out of the oafish chat rooms.

The League 209


This show is full-on, off-the-chain ridiculousness. I absolutely love it. It has football, it has conniving, it has trash-talk, it has buckets full of lewd sexuality, and it has Jon Lajoie. That wasn't redundant, was it? The entire premise of the show is the hyper competitive fantasy football league of a group of manchildren. It doesn't quite inspire television confidence, but if you give it a chance you'll be kindly rewarded.

This week's episode features collusion and courtroom drama. Taco is great as always and Andre is creepy as ever. The League raises the interesting philosophical question of whether it is still outlandish if you have come to expect it. Either way, The League has built a home in the realm of delightfully disgusting. I reserve my one criticism for the way the show makes up fantasy facts and scenarios. I understand the crippling restrictions of a dialogue revolving around yet to occur football outcomes, but come on. Mike Bell? Really?

Episode Rating:
7 (Lower end quality TV)

Episode's Best Line:
"Should I be erect?" - Taco (No explanation necessary)
