    Not sure if there was another thread, but 1st episode was on tonight. Thought it was amazing. Its about group of guys who play fantasy football. Might be my new favorite. Comes on right after its always sunny in philadelphia, replays at 1030 tonight.

    the premise seems kinda stupid but i'll be damned if the commercials didn't make it seem like it was gonna be pretty funny

    Very funny. When I first heard about this show, I thought how can they milk a fantasy football league enough to drive a whole show? But it's obvious now that they have a good set up for a lot of material on these guys and their relationships with each other and their wives.

    Funny show, definitely like the actors they brought in on this project. The bald guy is from the comedy troop from Human Giant that used to be on MTV. That show was great, but then Aziz Ansari blew up, got busy, so the other guys started lookin for work. Rob Heubel made a guest appearance as the guy who was the doctor (Paul Scheer) friend and asked him if he wanted to smoke his bush. And obviously Paul Scheer plays the guy who's a doctor and who's friends use him for his sweet bachelor pad.

    Loved the child predator thing too lol isn't that the same guy who was in the classic office space movie from so long ago?

    No kidding. That's why I decided to give it a shot.

    Huge disappointment. I didn't find it funny at all.

    I thought the previews were god-awful so I didn't bother DVR'ing it. Maybe I just don't get it since I don't play fantasy sports or enjoy football.

    I thought it was funny that the dude triumphantly showed up in the nick of time and promptly said "Matt Forte" who has been the biggest bust of the season.

    I thought it was alright. Maybe it seemed lame because it was on after Sunny.

    The draft parts were pretty good.

    I'd rather see Men of a Certain Age over this based on the previews alone...

    It was ok. It was only the first episode, so I will definitely keep watching it.
