99 Words About: The birth of FXX

There’s no such thing as too much FX.

So, starting Monday, there’s FXX.

A 17-hour “Parks and Recreation” marathon christens the channel (Cox, 335; DirecTV 619; CenturyLink, 130; for everything else, see www.getfxx.com).

It will be joined by other reruns, including all-time classics “Arrested Development,” “Freaks and Geeks” and “Sports Night.”

But the real draw is original programming. New episodes of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (10 p.m.) and “The League” (10:30 p.m.) move from FX on Wednesday.

And there’s the promise of many, many more FX-quality originals to follow.

There’s no such thing as too much good TV.

— CHRISTOPHER LAWRENCE
