The episode this season where Rafi plays paintball with the guys is awesome.

For me, The League has fallen into the Family Guy zone. As in, it used to be consistently funny, but then as the jokes started repeating and the gags caused more eye-rolling than giggles, you start to strongly consider deleting it from your DVR list. But one funny line (or a Rafi appearance) keeps it alive for another week.

Rafi is the best. I can't look at that guy and not laugh.

Ruxun and Kevin are just too whiny and annoying to like. Plus they have some weird germ, bathroom, cleanliness habits that just piss me off.
Overall though, the show provides plenty of laughs.

I think The League still delivers. That guy that plays Andre always makes me laugh. I like that Jenny is getting a bigger role - she "does it" for me.

Just finished the 3rd season one where Ruxin takes lots of painkillers. Wow. Amazing.

The accuser has now recanted and admitted it was a consensual relationship between adults, which is what Elmo's puppeteer said it was.

Well good. Like all people from my age cohort I hate how goddamn Elmo took over Sesame Street, but all the same, here's hoping Kevin Clash is allowed to come back to work.

So, who will survive past this season's finale on Sons of Anarchy?
[SHOW]
Pretty sure, Unser, Clay, Juice, and Tig have a handful of episodes left of being on the show...
And Nero? Not sure, seems like a good dude, but I excpect something bad to happen there.
Poor Juice... No shot.
