Default "The League" - The best comedy currently on TV




..
.

Who else is watching? I've got the two final episodes of season 2 to go then I'll be all caught up and awaiting the October 6th premier of Season 3. The first few episodes of Season 1 are decent, but it just gets better and better... It's surpassed Community as the best sitcom currently on, in my opinion.

Aside from online, is there any way to watch this in Canada?

I auto-download it it to my media server using Sick Beard, and then play it off any of the TV's in my house (all media-center-equipped).

However, it appears FX is coming to Canada: http://www.torontolife.com/daily/hyp...hes-fx-canada/

Sick Beard, what a fantastic tool that has been. I just started watching this on Sunday, got a few episodes in. I'm a sucker with anything that has Jon Lajoie in it.

Of course a Canucks fan would have such bad taste as to say that P&R is a good show.

That thing started off bad, got good, and now is getting bad again. It's exactly like 30 Rock.

Anyone that thinks Parks and Rec is in the same universe as Community, needs a new funny bone.

Seriously guys - download and watch the League - I was (and still am) a huge Community fan, but I think the league takes it a half-step higher. it's like CP if it was real life.

and for anyone who's seen the show:

I am 99.9% sure that the character Taco is modelled after Fotze:

= Fotze

It goes:

The League
Community
Parks and Rec

If you disagree I will smash a bottle of Three Penis wine over your head.

P.S. I have been mercilessly promoting this show in the Should I Be Watching thread. You should have listened.

NSFW

Your opinion doesn't count unless you include Curb Your Enthusiasm in there.

I'll check out The League ASAP.

It's on the list, just not this list.

The League was created by the Executive Producer of Curb BTW...

Parks is bad? Yes, and Two and a Half Men is a well crafted comedy. Get the fata outta here.

Also, not surprised to see The League on FX. FX is an amazing channel for television.

I'm glad for the 2nd season they upped the budget and stopped filming the series with 1980's CBC camcorders.

It's a pretty funny show, but that first season is hard to watch with the poor production values. It's on channel 246 on shaw in HD.

'The League' is great, and any guys who have a close group of friends (whether sports-inclined or not) should watch it. Lots of fun.

Paul Scheer is amazing. That guy could read the phone book and I would laugh.
