The 13-episode fourth season of The League aired during the fall and early winter of 2012. Chances are, anyone reading a review of the fourth season of the series will know what it is about, so I will not spend much time on the substance of the storylines. The season follows a similar format to the first few seasons, but there are more callbacks to earlier episodes, jokes, etc., in this season than in the prior seasons. But, for the most part, it is all about the group's weekly matchups and the trash-talking that went along. There are many more cameos by NFL players, including in the season premiere, which was filmed at the Cowboy's training camp. There are also a couple of hilarious episodes set around Jenny and Kevin's new baby.
The DVD set is a two-disc set. The extras are similar to those included in the prior seasons' DVD releases. A gag reel, an alternate jokes reel, deleted scenes, and Taco Tones (mostly replays of the musical numbers). There is no longer an extended episodes option on the episodes menu. The DVDs have uncensored versions of the episodes, meaning some f-bombs and nudity are mixed in. So, not that the show was a good one for young kids to watch anyway, but even less so since you cannot play the broadcast versions vs. the uncut versions.
Overall, the series remains very funny. The writing and acting are still top-notch, and for a show that is centered around fantasy football, it is enjoyable for those who do not play fantasy football, or even like football all that much. Although, I do think it helps to do both. It is definitely one of the better adult sitcoms of the recent past.
