It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

[Howard Moon]

I think this is one of the funniest shows on tv. I know it is supposed to come back this month but I haven't heard a date. Does anybody know? I know they did have a marathon this last Sat.

[thomasgaffney]

I'm totally not familiar with this show in the slightest.

Could you give me the low down on what the show is about?

Uh... The city of Philadelphia. In the US. In the state of Pennsylvania. And, uh, it's sunny there...

EDIT - Holy fuck! My post is better so it goes higher than Locke's! I'M A GOD!!!!!

Erm....how is gaffers managing to answer before the question is asked?

[John-Locke]

It's a time thing.

Obviously the servers on either side of the atlantic aren't as synched up as they should be, therefore Gaffers post goes above mine.

HE IS NO GOD

If you cut him he will BLEED

CUT HIM NOW.

[athenabodicea]

This is fucking hysterical....


That's all....



carry on

[John-Locke]

So um back to the show yeah?

Whats this show about? Is it a sitcom or what?

I watched last season and loved it! I haven't been seeing any ads for the upcoming season. Wish I had known about the marathon, I totally would have watched.

Did you watch Starved while it was on by any chance? I wish it had gotten signed on for a second season as well. When those two shows aired on the same night it was the funniest hour on television.

Four friends buy and run an Irish bar together in Philadelphia. It was on last fall. Not sure if it's coming back...

I've seen one commercial for season two, but that was quite a while ago. Maybe F/X realized their roots and shitcanned a good show?

[Howard Moon]

For those who don't know about the show it's about four friends who run a bar together. Two of the friends are brother and sister. The situations that they are placed in are kind of edgy: abortion, people getting shot, kids getting drunk, molestation, Nazi grandpa, the usual stuff.

[The Wrong Guy]

Hooray for the show being renewed for 15 more episodes!

[Howard Moon]

I think Danny Devito really saved the show. I also think that the show doesn't really cost that much to make since the only sets used are the bar and Charlie's apartment. The season finale was great with Charlie's "American Me" outfit, oh and huffing Elmer's glue

[The Selecter]

Season 3 has been dated...September 13th!

[bastard_robo]

I need to get the DVD sets, and I've only seen a few previous Eps, but man if this wasnt funny as hell!


Wanting to get the dumpster baby (named DB!!) a tan was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Not to mention Devito and the other guy doing acid at the tailgate party was TV gold!


My DVR is now fixed to this!

Im glad you like it. The show needs more of a following.

The funniest episode is the welfare one. The 2 last night imho weren't as constantly hilarious as the past 2 seasons. I imagine it is because they have 15 episodes this season.

[so sorry]

Just discovered this show in the past few days... I'm almost thru the second season, and its fucking hysterical. But not in a laugh out loud kind of way. Like a holy-shit-I-can't-believe-they're-doing that kinda hysterical.

Season 4(?) starts at the end of september in case anyone has forgotten...

[stereosforgeeks]

They just got 3 more seasons as well.

[so sorry]

Sweet. 7 seasons of might be jsut enough... these guys are (funny) scumballs, despicable and without redemption. They are still borderline believable... not sure what later seasons may bring.

Personally the 3rd season was a tad too long.

[tapehead]

It's a unique show - so slap dash and sloppy, but often pretty brilliant. I've watched all three series over the past couple of months and am looking forward to more - they should be due to capitalise on the references to Charlie's huffing habit soon.

Dennis is my favourite.

Also, Sweet Dee is hot, in that 'drunk chick at a bar' kinda way.

[Dee E. Goppstober]

You're damn right Dee is hot!


....

oh, wait - Sweet Dee you said?

[stereosforgeeks]

Charlie all the way!!!

I'd like to hear a Brits take on this actually... it seemed like a uniquely Americana type show, but I guess not...

Well I'm an Australian, so no luck there. Really, I don't see the 'Americana' you talk about in it much - there are bars and scumbags the world over. It has a sardonic and cynical perspective that's unusual in American comedy, with notable exceptions like Larry David's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', which I find this somewhat similar to, though this is prone to getting sillier.

Having never watched Curb (which I will eventually get around too), I liken it to a very, very, evil Seinfeld. Its like 5 George Costanzas with cursing!

[stereosforgeeks]

I definitely put it in with the Curb vibe.

I feel like they are pointing out the ridiculousness of these characters' (and people who actually act like them) behaviour, while making us laugh at it at the same time.

Check... gotta get Curb Your Enthusiasm in my queue.

I was thinking about my Seinfeld comparison: Jerry and crew started out almost normal. They were weird and eccentric from the get go, but as the seasons progressed, they spiraled down into selfishness and ignorance etc, and by the end they were just unbeleiveably horrible people to each other and all they encountered (PS Seinfeld is one of my all-time favorite shows).

Its like the Always Sunny crew started right where Seinfeld left off: these idiots started out rude, crude, ignorant and degenerate, AND ONLY GOT WORSE! Yeah, they've gone out of the realm of believability, but so what, its still funny as shit. Why am I not seeing these guys in movies yet?

BEST.SHOW.EVA!

[aura]

Seasons 1 & 2 made me think it was one of the best shows currently on television.

However, the show seriously fell off with Season 3. I think it may have had something to do with the creators (the main actors) handing off the writing duties to hired hands. If I remember correctly, they said they had felt "overwhelmed" by the length of Season 3.

Hopefully, with the upcoming season, they will have returned to working their original magic.

[Howard Moon]

I'm hoping they put more in the season 3 DVD. The first DVD didn't have that many extras (only 1 or 2 commentaries). I also wished they would have put the entire pilot instead of just clips. The tone has gotten a bit more wacky I guess in this last season but the humor is still there. All three seasons on Hulu with literally 20-30 seconds of commercials.

Let's be honest. It's basically live-action cartoon now.

We'll see how season four turns out. I heard that they took note when a lot of fans voiced similar opinions on their IMDB board.

[tapehead]

So - anyone across the new ep yet?

[tapehead]

I just know it's aired, beyond that - 'we don't talk about that shit here, yo'...right?



Fred Savage is directing the first 6 eps of this season

[tapehead]

Alright - I watched it on the u toob - Flumm, come and get Me!

[stereosforgeeks]

I have them DVRd and will watch tomorrow afternoon at some point.

[RogueScribner]

I've been watching the show on Hulu. I'm halfway into season 2 right now. Good stuff!

[papalazeru]

Seen Season 1, 2 and 3.

Funny stuff. There's some great dialogue in there and some moments of pure stupidity.

Looking forward to season 4 and how they get out of the pickle that is the end of season 3

[so sorry]

Watched the two new episodes last night... the first one was OK, not really anything to get overly excited about. In fact, my anticipation for the new season was so high, that as I was watching the first one, I got a little nervous that I had put this show on too high a pedestal.

Then I saw the second episode, and all my fears were gone. Funny. As. Fuck! The A-Team comparisons were hysterical, and Charlie truly is a Wildcard. Cannot wait for more.


PS: Fucking FX... this crass, un-PC, brutal show was "sponsored by" some stupid ass Dane Cook/Jason Biggs dumb-shit romantic comedy, so I had to endure behind-the-scenes garbage and constant commercials for My Best Friend's Girlfriend. I'm not sure which marketing genius thought that Its Always Sunny was the same demographics as their piece-of-shit movie.

[RogueScribner]

bump for tfactor

Also, I've been watching faithfully! This season is a little more consistent than last year, and I can't get enough of Charlie and Mack!

Faithful watcher here... although this season hasn't had me roll out of my seat too often, it is still a kick-ass show, and the funniest thing on TV (that I watch).

The second episode (the A-team one) is still the cream of the crop this season.

Wildcard bitches!
