T.V. Review: The League
This weeks Couch Sesh's Television Review is: The League
Creating a show based around the idea of Fantasy Football was brilliant. The Duplass Brother are smart guys. I began watching the show from the beginning and it really was the engine that couldn't. This show didn't stand a chance with a handful of journey men comics, a singing YouTube video maestro (Show me your genitals...your Gen-It-Tal-Li- AAAA), and an up and coming middle age actress.
They made it work.
Season after season grinding out funny episodes trying to gain the attention of the public, The League has shown us that anything is possible in Television. The cast of characters use their personalities to the fullest, but the guy who holds it all together is Duplass. Like Jerry Seinfeld, the selflessness of straight-man Duplass to take a comedic back seat allowing the others to be ridiculous, is the only reason this show has survived. Yes, the others are great in their characters, but you don't get that without the middle of the road man Duplass portrays.
My only criticism of this show is that every once in a while they take a joke and stretch it too far or they take a Joke that they think is really funny and stretch it into an entire episode when the joke is really just momentarily funny. The biggest example of this is the whole Boba-Man episode. The phone chicken idea is funny; I just didn't think it was funny enough for a whole episode.
Other than that, the show has legs. I want the SHIVA!

POST SCRIPT UPDATE: I am such an idiot. How could I do this review and not mention one of the greatest characters ever created: RAFIIIIIIIIII....Jason Mantzoukas is one of the funniest people around and is an absolute GEM on this show!!!!
Footballs have been flying through the air at a prolific pace, but the ground game is finally making more than just a token appearance in NFL offenses.
ReplyDeleteFootball is America's favorite sport by a wide margin. There are more than three million kids who play youth football, more than one million high school football players, more than 600 college football teams with more than 67,000 players, as well as all their parents and siblings. There are 163 million college football fans and 185 million NFL fans, according to the 2012 ESPN Sports Poll. For more than four decades, according to The Harris Poll, the NFL has been the most popular sport in America, and football (professional and college) is the favorite sport of nearly half of America's sports fans (45 percent). Together We Make Football -- Your Story is seeking stories that show why the millions who play and watch at all levels love the game, from the backyard to the Super Bowl, from Friday Night Lights to Thanksgiving Turkey Bowls, and everything in between.
