It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

noir episode was incredible

"brown lightning"

The texting ep was pretty good.

noir episode was incredible

loved how every line dee delivered was completely off, until her very last line of the episode, which was the best-delivered noir line of the whole thing

Sometimes, for no reason, I find myself worrying about Cricket.

same tbh

Mac's cellphone conversation in the movie theater in Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life kills me. "I'm talking to Bill!"

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

I am very surprised that people liked this season. It draaaagged and the writing seemed super forced.

i liked dee day and the film noir episodes

My criticism from the previous season is even more so. That most of the cast is a little too botoxed, tan, keto'd out. It is jarring with their characters.

that is true

Charlie still looks pretty Charlie

yeah i said charlie and frank are still good dirtbags.

there's no prettying up Devito!

Previous season was the first that I thought had more weak episodes than strong episodes. I've only seen the first two episodes of this most recent season, and it seems pretty ... fine, I guess. I have been impressed by the music budget, which so far has included Peter Gabriel, Skynyrd and pretty much the entirety of Springsteen's "Secret Garden."

This season started out weak but it turned around after episode 2, and in fact the vast majority of the remaining 8 episodes were strong, imo. Some stuff that actually made me laugh. And indeed, tons more recognizable song cues over the rest of the season, plus an impressive amount of Danny DeVito slobber.

I watched the first ep of the latest season and found it tired and slightly embarrassing. Time to stop.

This most recent season gets better.

The Janitor Always Mops Twice is classic

I liked that one, the texting one, and Dee Day best, iirc. Oh, and the Gang Chokes, there's some funny stuff in there, too. And Global Warming, that was good as well.

thought the last season was really good!

it's supposed to be my turn to take a shit

the first ep is def not indicative

this one's probably due for a rewatch

^all of us, come october

I've fallen quite a few seasons behind - I only saw that episode for the first time the other week and couldn't get Sanitiser Frank out of my head when the run on hand sanitiser started.

yessss

i feel like everybody has gotten their own shows/movies out of the way for the moment and can hopefully focus on Sunny again.

it couldn't last out a full-size season instead of a short run, i think, coz it ran through the big "outRAGEous" themes pretty quick -- nazis, guns, cancer, race.

don't forget underage drinking, child molestation, and abortion!

i'm positive these fine upstanding young writers will not cease to find a wealth of fun topics with which to utilze their skills and entertain us

I think lemin was probably sincere!

Apparently several episodes pulled from circulation for featuring blackface or similar, which I suppose I needn’t dwell on at length but it seems sorta hamfisted given that Dennis being a (boobishly hapless) sexual predator continues to fly, not to mention episodes where the T-slur is slung around in reference to a trans woman (played by a presumably cis actress) without being textually called out at all as a stupid thing to say. I mean it’s a show about characters being terrible people. Idk. Guess I’ll have to find my pirate copy of the Lethal Weapon 5 episode if I want to see it again.

Never thought I’d be a how dare you censor etc guy but I’m perplexed at least.

it will take a while for society to catch on but at some point 95% of the show will be pulled from circulation

Morbius was right!

i'm currently re-watching it's always sunny with my gf who's never seen it. we're kinda binging it but the relentless screaming and cross-talk stresses us out so we've been alternating with taxi every couple seasons. really nice mix

My wife and I have had some big fights over this show. I think it is hysterically funny at times; she was so disturbed when Mac suddenly gained weight it ruined the show for her.

what

ikr

New season Dec. 1:

It’s Always Sunny was ahead of the curve in showing how the gang would handle being in isolation while sick, airing the episode “The Gang Gets Quarantined” in 2013 during its ninth season. Now, there’s confirmation that the upcoming season will actually be set during the COVID pandemic.

The press release teases that the gang will “try to exploit pandemic aid, sidestep cancel culture, evade criminal justice, reflect on their origins, and reconcile their identities and homeland roots.” Oh and yeah, the gang somehow ends up in Ireland despite the global pandemic.

Is Mac still gay?

I think so.

Mac’s been gay since he got Dee’s lottery ticket and did ballet

First few episodes were kinda bad, but I liked the monkey bartender one and all the stuff in Ireland. Noticed that for such a simple show they've really upped the budget. Travel to Ireland, music licenses for the Stones and Springsteen, digital effects ...

Season was better than fine but very forgettable very fast
kudos for not pretending covid didn't exist and acknowledging that the gang would all have covid for sure
