    Default Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia

    Best TV show ever?

    Wikipedia page:
    The series follows The Gang, a group of five depraved underachievers who run Paddy's Pub, a run-down bar in South Philadelphia. They are dishonest, egotistical, greedy, unethical, lazy, arrogant, and antagonistic, and are often embroiled in controversial issues. Episodes usually find them hatching elaborate schemes, conspiring against one another or others for personal gain or the pleasure of watching their downfall. Their tactics often rely on inflicting emotional and sometimes physical pain on individuals both deserving and undeserving. They regularly use blackmail and manipulate one another and others outside of the group. Their unity is never solid; any of them would quickly dump the others for quick profit or personal gain regardless of the consequences. Almost everything they do results in competition between them.


    The title of most episodes is presented as a punchline tying in with the gag in the cold open. For example, in one cold open, Dee protests that whenever Frank hangs out with The Gang, someone gets hurt. Frank disagrees and asks "I'm just palling around with the guys, how's anyone going to get hurt?" Immediately the title card appears, reading "Frank Sets Sweet Dee on Fire". In the first season, the title of the show would show up before the title of the episode. Starting in in season two, the title appears as the theme song starts, directly before the credits roll. The title is almost always a complete sentence describing the plot of the episode.

    They should just end it after this season. The humor has gotten very broad, season 5 was at times corny and not very funny. DeVito, who was always the weak link in the cast, just isn't funny or even remotely believable anymore--the Homer Simpson of the show. Kill it before it gets any worse.

    I love it, and Danny DeVito is divinely gross in it.

    It's humour of the lowest variety, but who cares.
    Some day I'll actually write all the reviews I keep promising...

    Let's put it this way: "Always Sunny" is a cracked out version of this classic.

    yup the pilot and first few shows were kind of retarded, but once they got in their groove it easily became the best non-animated sitcom on TV.

    I also agree though that danny devito is not funny.

    Brilliant stuff. I saw a few episodes but now it's no longer on CC here for some retarded reason.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

    They're all so loveable.

    Charlie: A love able semi retarded pathetic piece of human excrement.
    Mac: An ignorant traditional American with just the right amount of brains he can occasionally have a sane thought.
    Frank: The guy you wish you didn't live next to and all that entails.
    Dennis: The sort of guy you thought was pretty cool until you got to know him and realized how sociopathic and narcissistic he is.
    Sweet Dee: The character who constantly plays with my empathy by constantly switching from tragically pathetic to a total .
