Hey, hey, hey Dacetacular Nation! Chris "The Dace Man" Dace here to honor some of television's hit shows as we roll into the 2014/2015 season! Join me on this quest as I bring to you some must see TV shows this year!

To kick off this event, we will first examine a show I recently binged watched on NetFlix and has currently entered into it's sixth season! The League premiered on FX on October 29, 2009 and is set in Chicago, Illinois. The Show follows a group of six friends as their lives revolve around their fantasy football league. The show was created by Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Schaffer and stars Mark Duplass (Pete Eckhart), Nick Kroll (Rodney Ruxin), Stephen Rannazzisi (Kevin MacArthur), Paul Scheer (Dr. Andre Nowzick), Jon Lajoie (Taco MacArthur), and Katie Aselton (Jenny MacArthur).

The show immediately caught my attention due to the style of humor they portray. It originally starts off as a group of guys who get together every Fall to hold their fantasy league drafts and concludes at the end of the season with a winner of The Shiva! The guys use most of the episodes to taunt and trash talk each other, as well as play into scenarios of trying to capture free agents and adjust line ups which usually goes horrible wrong.

To me, the best part of the show is usually the side stories not involving the league. The side stories that revolve around Taco and his Taco Corp. usually ensue with a misunderstanding on how business works or an invention that really makes no sense. Taco, being one of the members of the fantasy league who expresses zero interest in the league and has somehow won The Shiva in the past, usually has side stories that are very entertaining. Another side character who is a complete wild card is Ruxin's brother in-law Rafi. Rafi is a character where you come to expect the unexpected with him, ranging from a shady background to unpredictable reactions to events currently happening.

The sixth season of The League premiered September 3, 2014 on FX.
