FX has a reputation for broadcasting high quality content aimed at adults. While most of their shows are of the one-hour variety (i.e. “The Shield,” “Rescue Me,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “Nip/Tuck,” etc.), they also occasionally dip their toes in half-hour comedies like the brilliant “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.”

I’ve always wondered if a series based on fantasy football could survive, and I guess we’re about to find out, because FX debuts “The League” this Thursday. Check your local listings.
