It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Uncanny. The comments on their official facebook page for this are pretty funny

lol I was just about to post this.

I kind of love HJO as Mac.

That episode did not fill me with hope for this season.

yeah pretty underwhelming in the lol dept

I'll more likely than not watch this show til it's over, but I can't say I've unequivocally loved it since the gang solved the gas crisis.

Bring back Fred Savage IMO.

I laughed at this last night, but today I can't remember what any of the jokes were :(

i miss fat mac

but kinda bummed that this show isnt even as funnie as 30 rock now

It's been really hit or miss for a few years - last season had some of the lowest points but also had Game of Games, Frank Reynolds' Little Beauties, and Sweet Dee Gets Audited. I'm ok with the show settling in as long as it keeps giving us a few gems each season.

Peaked with the musical episode and has been on the wane ever since.

Game of Games and the HS reunion eps were amazing.

Pffft since day one this show has been south park-y, i.e. it can be amazing but also if they do a shitty theme or want to make a point it sucks. This isn't really any different.

Last season had both Frank's Pretty Woman and his brother which was amazing.

the jersey shore episode last year was an all-timer.

^true. they def strike gold 2-3 times per season.

I lold hard at Charlie's speech

You get the feeling some eps are written solely around giving the audience an "Oh no they didn't!" moment.

Jersey Shore vacation is great.

charlie not listening slayed

Not so hot on the super-meta angle

was there a new episode last night and I missed it?

thursdays is when its on man!

sorry Project Runway put me to sleep

the meta didnt really add much for me but it didnt detract either, i enjoyed the ep v much

charlie not listening, the song, the twink/twank/twunk stuff, frank dancing in the guy's office. srsly that was a v entertaining ep

dees racist latina impression

So, I watched the first DeVito-less season, and while amused, wasn't impressed enough to continue. Obviously plenty of folks love this show, but plenty of folks love those so-so DeVito free eps, too. Should I give future seasons a shot, or is it just more or less variations on the same original idea? Does it grow or develop or no, or at least get funnier, or does it just kind of vamp on tasteless scenarios and un-PC jokes a la "Archer?"

obvs everyone itt thinks this the show is the best

Eh i think i'm starting to lose interest in this show. And yeah Dee's racist impression was just dumb and stupid.

I know people here love it, but is it a case of "if you don't like the first season you won't ever like it" or "stick with it, because it gets even better/funnier" ?

it gets more polished and elaborate but its p much all there in the 1st season iirc

i mean you obvs want to keep watching which you obvs should

first season is kinda lame. devito is the best character.

this ep and the last werent too hot. dee's racist latina lady is great tho.

also it is way different from archer type un-pc comedy. archer is 'haha look at what we can get away with saying' while sunny is 'omg these are horrible people listen to what they just said'

anyone who doesnt acknowledge charlies supremacy idk maybe there should be a diff thread for you

See, just within a couple posts, one person says season one is pretty much what you get later, and the next says season one is lame.

ya but the second person also thinks danny devito is better than charlie so theyre not really reliable

idk season 1 just seems like an extended pilot to me.

tbh i have not done exhaustive comparative studies of the many seasons of its always sunny in philadelphia in the finest ilx tv criticism tradition, i just remember watching the first season and then wanting to watch the second season because it was funny

they put together the pilot themselves for like zero dollars iirc which is p rad

the first episode i saw tho i think was the one from a later season where they try to go on trip somewhere but fail to leave the city

this is a show i've never really watched according to "seasons," for some reason, i just kinda pick at random. the only seasons that seem distinct are the first one (no de vito) and whatever the last one was (fat mac)

and of course charlie is the best character, fuiud

at least watch the nightman musical ep before deciding whether to continue

I get that Devito brings a ton of wildness to this that's really necessary to break the core four out of their usual rhythms, but i just don't recognize as human someone who doesn't see Charlie as the top character here I mean come on.

mordy otm

Halloween episode! It was okay.

didnt really grab me but there are always some sweet moments, the reveal abt dees car was p good

This has been a cruisy season so far, but even when cruising Sunny is funnier than any other current US sitcom.

really happy to hear Dee dry heave a bit in the beginning.

every Sweet Dee dry heave is a gift

Best of the season so far. Nice to see Charlie fucking someone over rather than being fucked over.
