I'm pumped. Cannot wait. Sad it took till week 5 of the NFL season, however, for the show to start. No reason why they can't match up an episode an NFL week. (i.e., 17-20 episodes a season -- although, I guess one could argue that their product might become watered down).

I thought I read that the lockout actually delayed the season this year. Writers had to write a season if the lockout got really drawn out, and another season if it ended. That time actually delayed the premiere of the show.

In any case, that many episodes would definitely ruin the show.

I am sure watching 3 minutes of it allowed yourself to give the show an expert opinion.

Guys, there can't be infighting on the All-PWN team. Stop it.

I dont, but would guess 13. Most FX/HBO/AMC seasons are 7 for the initial and 13 for any season after that. Sometimes they will order a full season for the first, but the pilot and 2nd episode has to have really good ratings for that.

Thought it was ok. I think my expectations were probably a little 2 high.

It was funny, but it kind of seemed like the were trying too hard to be funny. Just felt a little forced compared to the other seasons. Shiva Bowl Shuffle was pretty good.

The Draft is the best part of Fantasy Football and they totally sidestepped it with the whole 'being locked out and porn going on.' Thought that was a terrible decision on the writers part.

This show's always been kinda "forced" even though I love the show and it is really funny...you can really tell the humor is forced, rather than natural.
