I recently started watching the short television series the League showed on FX. This show is actually a lot more funny then I originally thought. There are four main characters which all have a very large role in the show. What I just recently realized is that they are all white males. There is almost no diversity in this show at all. Usually there is at least one character that is of a different race. For example the show, That 70's show, has fez, the one different character when all the rest of the characters are white. Do you know any other shows that lack diversity?
I love the league! I just started getting into it a few episodes ago. Another FX show with no diversity, at least within the major cast members, is Always Sunny. I am addicted to that show, and all 4 main characters are white. There have been some episodes that have included characters of different ethnicities but none of them have been reoccurring characters. Interesting that these are both FX series.
ReplyDeleteThe league is AWESOME. I too was skeptical but have been onboard with the show since day one. I try to convince my friends to check it out but they think the idea of a show about fantasy football is henious. I can see where they might think that but the show really is top-notch. I think that F/X has really come into their own with originally programing (Rescue Me, It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia, Nip/Tuck, The League, Sons of Anarchy). Each show is unique, creative, and compelling. Big fan right here.
ReplyDeletei've never heard of the league, it's bad enough having friends that talk about fantasy football nonstop
ReplyDeletebut it's always sunny in philadelphia is another show with no sort of non white people on it.
