--Looks like Mac's lost most of that mass. Looks weird all skinny & clean shaven now.

[Agamemnon]

Amazing, I love this show almost as much as Workoholics.

[Matata]

--Looks like Mac's lost most of that mass. Looks weird all skinny & clean shaven now.

I bet that he made a deal with his wife that if he could gain 50 lb for a season, he'd shave the beard.

Nothing makes me laugh like Sunny. It's like the best parts of Trailor Park boys and Seinfeld, which is basically crack to me. Super excited.

That's not Mac, it's an ex UFC fighter playing Dennis. They had a preview on Facebook in which they re-cast everyone,

Charlie with Candice Cameron, Dee with Xibit, Mac was Haley Joel Osment and Frank was Andrew Dice Clay. I'm looking forward to the premier as well, last season had some great moments, but some weak ones as well, we'll see how many good seasons they have left

Dude, that wasn't a pic at the bottom of my OP, it was a Youtube clip of a 30 second promo showing all the "new" characters you're talking about. When I mentioned Mac losing mass, I meant when they show him at the very end of the clip. Looks like he's lost a lot of weight, plus for the first time ever (at least that I can recall), was clean shaven.

It's actually kinda eerie how much Haley Joel Osment looks like Mac in that clip, haha I wonder how much Rob McElhenney likes hearing that...

God damn i love this show an unhealthy amount cannot wait.

[InSutterWeTrust]

Is this playing on FX Canada? I was looking at the guide the other day and saw Wilfred playing in the time slot that they say "its always sunny" is supposed to be playing.
Is this on another network in Canada?

[aaronck]

Thought the premiere was pretty good, the League after it as well.
It's not available in Canada, I always have to use other ways to watch.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Yup, I've always torrented It's Always Sunny. I have FXCanada, I noticed Shaw added their HD feed recently... but it wasn't anywhere to be found.

Charlie's rant with the braces and the oxygen cracked me up.

[3 Justin 3]

I've seen this show on Canadian channels before, they were really old episodes though.

[Sainters7]

Ya decent episode, Charlie at the end was definitely the best part.

[Reanimate]

Really? I thought it was a weak episode. Probably time to say good bye to its always sunny.

[AC]

I thought it was a great episode.

Though I'm of the opinion they've only made a few bad or meh episodes.

[Reanimate]

I thought it was a great episode.

Though I'm of the opinion they've only made a few bad or meh episodes.

Last season had a couple gems, but it was mostly mind fodder. Few laughs for me last season.

[Sainters7]

I thought last season got off to a bit of a slow start, but by mid-season on I thought it was good. Chardee MacDennis, How Mac Got Fat, Thundergun Express, even the High School Reunion were all solid episodes.

I agree Sunny's not in its prime anymore, but its still a solid show. I simply don't get how some people think it needs to be sent off to pasture.

[3 Justin 3]

It's Always Sunny in Philly is an odd show. It has no likable characters, nothing ever works out for the gang, the stories are always about weird events.

I'm surprised its lasted this long.

I personally love the show though.

[LouCypher]

I thought the season premiere was pretty decent, the beginning of the episode and the whole tie in back to the original pop-pop episode was neat. I think the season will save its best for the mid-way point. It feels like it takes a century of waiting between each season but the small doses of 13 episodes per season really keep it funny and not overdone IMO.

[Geeoff]

I kinda wanted to see cameo appearances by the "new cast" :(

[getbak]

The scene where is Frank is naked and hiding inside the leather couch is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

[Magnum PEI]

I just started watching this show. The first season was good, but holy cow the 2nd season is insane. So many good episodes. Mac Bangs Dennis' Mother is probably the best. I liked the basketball one a lot too.

[Sainters7]

Keep watching, it just keeps getting better as the seasons go on. By season 4-5 it's all-time.

Like Parks & Rec (or any good show I guess), one of Sunny's biggest strengths is their secondary characters, which they're good at not over-using. Mac's parents, Charlie's mom/uncle, the McPoyle's, the waitress, etc. My favourite's probably Cricket, I love how much trashier he gets as the seasons go on.

[Sainters7]

My favourite Cricket scene's probably the "Day in the Life" when he comes on Dennis/Dee's radio show. Haha man that cracks me up, especially his voice. Wish they had the full scene on Youtube, love when he sucks on the lemon. "Ohhhhh, that is tart. That is very tart". I need to find a way to work that quote into a conversation.

I recognize that actress, and I haven't seen an episode with her yet. I've only watched the first two seasons so far.

[MrMastodonFarm]

I recognize that actress, and I haven't seen an episode with her yet. I've only watched the first two seasons so far.

You'll get there. I think that one is Frank gets an Intervention or something like that.

The first two seasons are a Seinfeld episode compared to the insane stuff that happens soon.

[Magnum PEI]

I'm already ranking it amongst Curb and Archer for my favourite all-time comedy. If it tops the second season it might surpass those two shows.

[Matata]

I'm already ranking it amongst Curb and Archer for my favourite all-time comedy. If it tops the second season it might surpass those two shows.

Sunny keeps getting better until the 4th season (specifically "The gang dances their asses off"), at which point it becomes incredible for a good while, then settles into being a great, great show.

[KOgear]

Kitten Mittons!!!

[Thor]

I thought that 1st episode was very average for them, but I love this show so much that an average episode still beats the crap out of most stuff on tv

[Flash Walken]

You'll get there. I think that one is Frank gets an Intervention or something like that.

The first two seasons are a Seinfeld episode compared to the insane stuff that happens soon.

I thought that was in the one where Mac Bangs Dennis mom, but, it's in a later episode....

Eeek, glad I didn't spoil anything!

[aaronck]

I recognize that actress, and I haven't seen an episode with her yet. I've only watched the first two seasons so far.

She was on Mr Show, and has had a bunch of bit parts...

"Brett DeLawyer. A Denial Correlation." - Charlie

[Sainters7]

You'll get there. I think that one is Frank gets an Intervention or something like that.

Yup, that's actually the episode that first got me hooked, poor Gail the Snail. That one's easily in my top 5.

[Cheerio]

Episode 2 was okay. I was cringing when Dee and Frank were talking to all the garbagemen. But the part at the end with Charlie the wildcard was hilarious.

[gargamel]

I enjoyed "The Gang Recycles Their Trash," but it's strage for a popular show devote an entire episode to mocking how predictable and formulaic it has become. It'll be interesting to see if, in upcoming episodes, they try to break away from what they've been recycling for the past few seasons.

[Sainters7]

I liked it, thought it was definitely a "for the fans" one, the whole thing was just references to previous episodes.

Ya the wild card return was solid, thought it was funny how hilarious everyone still found the "bird" jokes at the start too, Dennis just dyin haha.

[LouCypher]

Maureen Pondarosa Wedding Massacre.....probably one of the best Haloween episodes Ive seen of any series. My stomach still hurts from watching it yesterday and laughing so much.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Yeah, it was hilarious. Charlie's monologue stolen from Jaws was downright gut-busting.

[Sainters7]

Agreed, not only was it funny, but it was really well done too, almost movie style. Actually kinda creepy at times, that pretzel chick was nuts!

Loved Dennis at the end, complaining about how the sex with Maureen was terrible and how the nipple placement on her boob job was crazy. Goddamn I love this show.

[Flash Walken]

Bill Ponderosa is one of my favourite characters.

That actor is great. Also hilariously creepy in Californication.

[Flash Walken]

[Sainters7]

Glenn Howerton (aka Dennis) has been gold on Twitter lately. He was vocal about his Obama support, and some followers lashed out at him for his celebration tweets after Obama won again.

An exchange between him & a follower the next day apologizing for ripping him after the election:

@EdmondBrooks (https://twitter.com/EdmondBrooks): I apologize for my rant yesterday. Lets just say u were collateral damage. Everyone has opinions. GoodDay!
@Glenn_Howerton: R u DENNISing me?

[Cheerio]

The episode this week was hilarious. The Mac and Charlie therapy sessions were great and Dennis talking down to the psychologist was the best part.

[AC]

Charlie explaining why he likes "Charlie work" was hilarious.

At it's core, I love it, you know? I love the dark, I love slippery things, I love being naked, uh, in the sewer... bleach smells good and it tastes good, you know?

[MrMastodonFarm]

I thought Dennis was hilarious is last weeks episode. His exchange with the Doctor was just great. "Giving him medicine for his disease... wherever did I get that Idea.."

"Drawing... drawing conclusions... and.. drawing this.."

His hand and facial movements during these lines were amazing.

[MrMastodonFarm]

[Magnum PEI]

Having now watched to the end of season 7, I would say Chardeemacdennis and The Nightman Cometh are my favourite episodes. In the whole run there was only one sub-par episode. I think I can call this the best show ever.

[malcolmk14]

Thursday's episode was fantastic. Classic Dennis. Getting ready to bang the tiny Asian boy.

[MrMastodonFarm]

This season has been all Dennis. He's taken that character to another level.

[Thor]

That was one of the best episodes this season, the commercial they made was hilarious, not kitten mittens quality but still awesome.

[Sainters7]

Thursday's episode was fantastic. Classic Dennis. Getting ready to bang the tiny Asian boy.

"Gimme a minute, let me switch gears here. I almost..."

Ya Dennis has been my favourite character on Sunny for the last few seasons, I'm glad they've been pumping him so much this year.

I've thought for awhile now that he's the best natural actor on that show. Re-watched the Lethal Weapon 5 episode last week, he just nails those Murtaugh & Aussie accents.

[KOgear]

lol I forgot about lethal weapon 5, will have to rewatch that. And for old episodes the one where mac and charlie die was pretty good.

Charlie: Oh, my God. (shouting) How do hobos fit all their stuff into a bandanna? It doesn't make sense, man! We're gonna need, like, a towel or a tablecloth or something! But (groans) it's not gonna look cool! We're gonna look like a-holes!


Mac: The only way that my dad is not going to kill us is if he thinks we're already dead.
Charlie: Oh, great, I was hoping you'd say that. Great, let's kill ourselves. Let's do it.
Mac: No! No, you didn't let me finish.
Charlie: It's no problem, dude. I'm totally on board. OK, I'm gonna grab a knife. I'm gonna jab it into your neck. I'll yank it out. OK, then your blood's gonna start going everywhere—
Mac: No, buddy, listen!
Charlie: You'll die in five to ten minutes, and then depending on how horrific that looks, I'll probably do it myself, too.


Charlie: If we were gonna kill ourselves, it would be awesome, right?
Mac: Yeah. Yeah, if we were gonna kill ourselves, it would be with class, right? I mean, because if we—
Charlie: Of course it would be with class! What do you think, I'm not gonna die with class?
Mac: Maybe some type of explosion?
Charlie: Of course there's gonna be an explosion! You think I'm not gonna explode?
Mac: I'm thinking, Charlie, it would be some kind of blaze of glory.
Charlie: Of course it's gonna be a blaze of glory! I'm going down right now. (squirts lighter fluid on his arm)

[Sainters7]

^
Ya, Mac & Charlie Die is easily in my top 5. I love that whole funeral scene, with the Mac & Charlie goodbye video. And Dennis' whole eulogy just turning into a rant about how he won't burn the duster.

Some solid quotes in that one. Loved Charlie after convincing Dee to be homeless like him & Mac. "Ok, so what's your bean situation? You got any beans on you, or what's up?"

[Mike Vernon]

One of my favourite lines this season

Dennis: No, no see this doesn't add up, this doesnt make any sense, why is this going well??? Can the girl not smell Charlie?...Can the guy not see Dee!?!?...Somethings fishy

Also Fight Milk was amazing, I laughed my ass off

And last weeks episode was great, British Dennis was awesome!

[Da_Chief]

The trial episode last week is the best all-time.

Charlie with the Donkey Brains, Mac with Evolution theory/Bitch Science!

#1 Philly episode imo.

[Sainters7]

Re-watched the "Serpico" episode 2 days ago, and Dennis' "jammed up" line was just killing me for some reason.

ebGFXr2QpoA

I've been telling almost everyone I know the last 2 days straight how I'm going to jam them up.

[nik-]

The Serpico episode is the one that finally hooked me. I was waffling on what I thought about the show, but that did it. Charlie's Pacino voice had me laughing my ass off.

[Sainters7]

Ya Charlie's money as Serpico, love all the old nostalgia shows they mix in there. Pretty heavy dose of the 80's usually of course.

...which is why I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised to recently discover Glenn Howerton aka Dennis was the lead role in "That 80's Show", which was as terrible as it was short lived.

[MrMastodonFarm]

That episode was an instant classic. One of my favourites.

Charlie's rant in the police station and his Spin Doctors Mix speech at the end was just great.

[Sainters7]

Season 9 Promos:

I love this show.

[FlamesFanStrandedInEDM]

Hands down my favorite episode is Dennis and Dee go on Welfare...

"Cant you just see how ######ed she is?"

[Thor]

OMG that teaser!! OMG

[LouCypher]

I saw a clip when Charlie was on Conan last night, shows the return of the Maniac aka Rowdy Roddy Piper. Only a couple more months....

[MrMastodonFarm]

[Matata]

imo, season 7 was the best season and season 8 was the worst, so I just don't know what to think about the new one.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Just started watching this show not long ago. Matata says season 7 is the best one, but what does everyone else think? I've caught random episodes on t.v. and there are definitely different vibes at different points.

What's your favourite season?

[Sainters7]

After looking through the episode guide, I'm having a tough time choosing between 4, 5 and 6. You really can't go wrong either way

[LouCypher]

I feel like season 4 and 5 had the most gems in them for me, just so many good episodes there cant think of ones I don't like from those seasons. Although as for the whole series there are only a few episodes I don't like quite as much but then when I rewatch those I seem to catch more jokes when I didn't like the episode as much the first time around.

[Sainters7]

Ya before I checked the episode guide, I had already assumed it'd be between 4 and 5. But I was surprised how many solid ones 6 had. The area where I may set 4 & 5 apart from 6 is they both have a potential "best ever" episode (4= Mac & Charlie Die, 5= The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention), where 6 is missing this, IMO. Also, 5 has the best (in terms of funniest) season finale I think.

...ah screw it, for the sake of closure I'll say 5. That's what I thought it'd be anyway before I looked.

[Matata]

I'd say 3 - 7 are all really close. I give to 7 because I love dark humour and 7 is crazy dark. They had an opportunity to build on the shows growing popularity to reach a broader audience, instead, they went with vomiting blood, pedophiles, dead babies and obesity. I respect the hell out of that.

[Muffins]

Whatever season the D.E.N.N.I.S. System is in. Hands down my favorite episode.

[KOgear]

Season 4 & 5, can't decide which is better. Season 4's finale the Night Man Cometh was absolutely ridiculous probably my most favourite episode, laughed through the whole thing. But season 5 has Kitten Mittens and DENNIS system.

[aaronck]

I don't think season 8 was terrible, I watched a couple of episodes last night and thought they were pretty funny. They tried a few different things and I thought they worked for the most part, looking forward to season 9

Game of Thrones’ Writers Take On ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

The “Game of Thrones” creators first met Mr. McElhenney and his wife, Kaitlin Olson, another star of “It’s Always Sunny,” several months ago at a party in Los Angeles and confessed their love for the comedy. “Like all actors,” Mr. Benioff and Mr. Weiss said, “they respond well to worship.”

As it turned out, “Game of Thrones” is one of a few shows that Mr. McElhenney and Ms. Olson, who are parents of two young sons, still watch regularly. “Once those kids are in bed,” Ms. Olson said, “we get real grown up.”

When Mr. Weiss and Mr. Benioff hit upon an idea for “It’s Always Sunny” — a gloss on the novel and short story “Flowers for Algernon,” in which Mr. Day’s ne’er-do-well character is convinced that a scientific experiment is making him smarter — they suggested it to Mr. McElhenney.

[Montana Moe]

The scene where is Frank is naked and hiding inside the leather couch is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

It's Always Sunny has moved from FX to the new FXX in the U.S.

FXX was Fox Soccer Channel until yesterday, and this is how they made the transition:

[aaronck]

new episode was a bit meh for me, I thought the premiere of "The League" that followed was really funny though...

[DownInFlames]

It was a decent episode. Huell from Breaking Bad as Landslide was the highlight.

[Sainters7]

I thought it was funny. The gang is hitting new levels of mean and disturbing (Dennis).

It's one of those episodes where if you're not familiar with the show you prob wouldn't like it, but if you know the characters well, it's solid.

[MikePatton]

I enjoyed it for it's parody of bad stand up comedy.

Also the twist ending. That was beautifully cruel.

[LouCypher]

Pretty decent start, feels like the best is yet to come this year. Twist at the end was weird but made sense.

[Flash Walken]

I think it would be pretty funny to have a season where they turn on Dennis instead of Dee.

"We Broke Dennis" has hilarious potential. Like when he thought the success of the bar was predicated on how attractive he was, and how he was reaching his maximum attractiveness.

[Sainters7]

Pretty decent start, feels like the best is yet to come this year. Twist at the end was weird but made sense.

I find most Sunny seasons start a little slow, and peak in mid-season.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Wow can't believe I just discovered this thread. I have been a die hard It's Always fan since day one.

That episode was awesome. Dennis at the end "I was and I wasn't" going nuts, talking earlier about how he has always controlled Dee, it's just all so good. Dee going nuts at the end, Charlie, Mac and Frank all laughing, just absolutely classic.

[flames_fan_down_under]

Anyone catch the latest episode? Gun Fever Too: Still Hot? Not bad, not their best in my opinion.

[LouCypher]

I liked Gun Fever Too, I felt captured a certain feel. I like when Dennis realizes that he is the one who is the gun toting maniac. Frank's different angles he was working on the news was hilarious too

[MikePatton]

I liked Gun Fever Too, I felt captured a certain feel. I like when Dennis realizes that he is the one who is the gun toting maniac. Frank's different angles he was working on the news was hilarious too

Also - and I don't remember who said this - when someone said "oh so you're like the NRA" at the end. I lost it.

First episode was better though I agree.

[Sainters7]

Thought the last 2 have been really good, especially last week's one about trying to win an award. Saw an interview with Glenn Howerton over the summer talking about how he thinks they've never won an award because they don't "play the game" and go to functions or anything, which this ep obviously was really about.

I knew this show has always been snubbed by the Emmy's, but I didn't realize they've never even been nominated. For a show as brilliant as this has been over the years to never even get nominated, while Big Bang Theory cleans up every year like its 90's Seinfeld kinda shows you how ridiculously political the whole awards process is.

[LouCypher]

Love Da Maniac, hope we see more of him again. Plays things so low key its hilarious.

[Sainters7]

Country Mac! He's so badass.

Sunny's been solid lately

[GGG]

Whats amazing is how solid every episode of this show is. Very few that miss and even those get better with time. To me Always Sunny is right up there at number 1 or 2 with Seinfeld in best sitcoms ever.

My favourite episode is still the abortion episode from season 1.

This is so true!

Flowers for Charlie was absolutely amazing. The final scene with him in the wheel chair and his speech with the accent, absolutely classic Charlie gold.

That was my favourite episode so far. Mac Day was great, The Gang Saves the Day was really good. Solid season so far.

Two more episodes. Why only 10 per season!!! WHYY!

[Sainters7]

Watched the new Lethal Weapon 6 episode last night, was laughing so hard I woke up the girlfriend. So many great 80's movie references, the Top Gun beach volleyball scene in the gymnasium was classic. As was the saxophone solo at the altar, in lieu of wedding vows. That's a damn good idea..

IMO this has been the best season in 3 years, may even be better than 6. Such a shame there's only 1 episode left on the year, 10 episode seasons are such a tease.

[Osker]

Lethal Weapon 6 was fantastic. Despite the character swap in 5 this time around it was so much funnier for me. Black Dee too. My god. Hahahaha

[Sainters7]

Dennis, while meeting with the financier, about their falling out with Frank over "creative differences" about not wanting to shoot Frank in a full on penetration sex scene:

"I just think no-one wants to see Frank smashing genitalia with a woman. But if it were me doing it, imagine that? Wouldn't that be nice."

:lol:

[getbak]

They've really been on fire this year.

Last week's episode (Flowers for Charlie) was written by the Game of Thrones writers.

[Sainters7]

Season started this past week, just got around to watching er last night. I thought it was great (and gave me a solid t-shirt idea for St. Paddy's), about time its back.

I was kinda wondering what Wade Boggs would think about how his "legacy" was being portrayed, but judging by his hilarious cameo later on, I'd say he's on board.

[AcGold]

New episode was great. Show is still original and funny.

Spoiler.

Dennis boning the trailer trash and then getting off the plane was amazing. I love how Dennis is this narcissistic self righteous sociopath that always makes the worst choices.

[keratosis]

Talked to a friend who just left Philly. Said the weather sucked! So there!

[Wastedyouth]

They've really been on fire this year.

Last week's episode (Flowers for Charlie) was written by the Game of Thrones writers.

That episode was amazingly funny.

[Thor]

VERY happy with the last 2 episodes, the airplane was meh for me, but the two back in the bar have been top notch.

[Alberta_Beef]

I could not get into this show and I really gave it an honest shot too, watched 2 full seasons and I just couldn't take anymore.

To me it is a show about horrible people, doing horrible things and that really isn't funny to me at all.

[Thor]

Yeah, the are just pure evil, 4 psychopaths going through life. But for us fans, that is exactly why we love it, its like Seinfeld but much more evil.

[Alberta_Beef]

Yeah, the are just pure evil, 4 psychopaths going through life. But for us fans, that is exactly why we love it, its like Seinfeld but much more evil.I guess that's why I hated Seinfeld too lol

[Thor]

lol yeah no doubt, you would also hate Curb your enthusiasm, its like Seinfeld but much more evil, the character of George on Seinfeld is based on Larry David who is one nutty guy in real life, example of his show:

c0k5kn311lc

[Alberta_Beef]

yeah, I was never able to get into it either. it seems to be a theme.

[Da_Chief]

This season has been a riot. The Chinese cream pie, Family Fights have been insane episodes.

[To Be Quite Honest]

Season started on Jan 6th!!!!

[Thor]

Great start, loved the game.

[To Be Quite Honest]

Great start, loved the game.

Oh, it was a great episode! I'd love hate to play that game.

[AC]

One of my top 2 favourite comedies right now along with Rick and Morty.

[d_phaneuf]

the chardee mcdennis part 2 electric boogaloo might be one of my favorite episodes of all time

the flag raising I had to pause a few times couldnt stop laughing

[14]

How are each of you able to watch the new season?

[scotty2hotty]

I'm watching on iTunes.

I thought the first episode was fantastic (Chardee MacD...)

Thought the second episode was very average (Frank falls out window)

[DownInFlames]

How are each of you able to watch the new season?

FXX on Telus. I wish Shaw carried it.

[scotty2hotty]

Not impressed with this season. I find I enjoy a lot of ASIP episodes better on subsequent viewings ... but this season just isn't doing it for me.

Outside of the premier, which was great, laughs have been few and far between for me.

Ski Hill episode was decent.

[iLoveLamp]

The last 3 episodes have all been great imo. Dennis losing his #### in the 'burbs, an insight into Frank's mind, uncle Jack's normal sized hands. There have been some great moments this season.

And Pondy is the coolest

[Locke]

I'm an 'Always Sunny' binger. I never follow it but then I watch a whole season in a row and then it permeates my soul.

[AcGold]

Dennis flipping out at his neighbor was great, Howerton is very convincing as a psycho.

[Thor]

I love this show so much, the Dennis living in the burbs was outstanding.

[Thor]

So what is everyone's thoughts on the season, I loved it, maybe less so the last episode.

[AcGold]

It was.... OK. Starting to feel a little Simpsony where they're grasping at whacky storylines. Kinda just miss the gang coming up with their more simple schemes,

Charlie was going to murder a midget, didn't like that. Charlie was always the more empathetic standoffish type, going full psycho was weird. Also did not like the cop out in the last episode, they should've died and Mac should've been gay already.

Where does Mac and Dennis live now that they burned their apartment like dumbasses?

[Thor]

The Burbs episode was by far my favorite, one of the finest in some seasons.

[Da_Chief]

Board game: 10/10, probably the best of the season
Frank thinking its 2006: Fail, didn't like it at all
Ski trip: meh, it was ok
Art Eposide: it was good
Suburbs: Fail. Too much Mac and Dennis even though like them both
Courthouse: Loved it. one of the best this season
Gang goes to hell: Enjoyed both parts

As usual some highs, some lows, some indifferent episodes. Looking forward to next season.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Mac was great in the final two episodes.

You're fail.

You're fail.

First few episodes of the season not as memorable but then once we got to Mac and Dennis move to the Suburbs pure greatness. That episode I have watched 5 or 6 times now. The way Dennis sounds when there is the knock at the door "well that must be our nosey neighbor Wally coming to see what all the fighting's about" The delivery is so cliche and perfect.

The tough part is the tremendously long wait between seasons but 10 episodes is probably the right dose each year to try and keep it fresh. I do think though when things get rehashed or revisited it really pays off to have seen every episode from the start. Its like they reward long time viewers with inside and ongoing jokes.

Sorry, but I'm still catching up on this series (my wife refuses to watch it). Currently on season 10. My god. Some of the best episodes in the entire series were in season 9 though. Flowers for Charlie and the Thanksgiving finale were exceptional.

Flowers for Charlie was amazing. Was written by David Benioff & D.B. Weiss from Game of Thrones.

I love the Thanksgiving, Squash Their Beefs episode. The scene around the table at the end is the best. "I'll have some of those delicious nose clams", *slow clap*..."don't clap for that!"

EDIT: Best episode of that season was Country Mac, that may be in my all-time Sunny top 5.

Same here. She hates shows like Sunny or Silicon Valley. I do not understand how someone can't think this show is incredible.

[scotty2hotty]

Flowers for Charlie was one of my favorites of the entire series.

[socalwingfan]

Sweet Dee is sooo good in The Gang Beats Boggs - that is in my top 5 all time favorite episdes for sure

Good call. I cry laughed when she called him Boss Hog.

[Sainters7]

Agreed, that one's an all-timer. Dennis is awesome that episode too. "She's trailer trash through & through, and far beneath a gentleman such as myself...excuse me, miss? 6 more beers please"

[iLoveLamp]

New trailer for Season 12. NSFW for language

[getbak]

Well, that was an interesting season premiere.

I liked the Bakula cameo.

[Hockey]

Bad episode imo

[Flash Walken]

Bad episode imo

Pretty hilarious I thought.

Wildly unexpected.

[RW99]

Well, that was an interesting season premiere.

I liked the Bakula cameo.

Spoilers!! But actually thank you for reminding me it premiered ;)

[RW99]

Just watched it, not that great. But that is probably because I really dont like musicals. And I was disappointed that they didn't reference the best clip from Quantum Leap.

[cDnStealth]

I had never watched this show but decided to binge watch the series a couple of months ago. It's great! I thought the new episode was pretty good.

[Flash Walken]

It would have been so easy for them to go back to the well with black face, but the whole episode was a significant departure from their standard type script.

It felt really fresh for a season debut so far into a series.

[MrMastodonFarm]

When you just turned black
and you can't switch back
well you gotta go and find out the rules

Lost it at that part.

[iLoveLamp]

The episode was definitely fresh, but it was far from my favourite episodes. I like to see them switch up the formula and try new things out, and this episode had its moments.

Charlie describing his life while in the body of a black kid was perfect. I always love when Z makes an appearance too. I'd give the episode like a 6 or 7 out of 10

[Agamemnon]

Bacula's solo alone made the episode a top tenner for me. The Quantum Leap references were priceless.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Episode two was nothing short of brilliant.

[Flash Walken]

That's a top all time episode for this show.

I was howling with laughter through most of it.

[getbak]

I knew I recognized the lifeguards, but it wasn't until the credits where I figured out who they were.

It was David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, AKA the showrunners of Game of Thrones, who also wrote the "Flowers for Charlie" episode from season 9.

[DownInFlames]

Great episode.

Mac and the drain reminded me of the Chuck Palahniuk story, Guts.

http://chuckpalahniuk.net/features/shorts/guts

[d_phaneuf]

caught up on both, I thought the first episode was incredible

charlie in the interrogation and "these are my friends they have me this train" were so good

the 2nd episode was back to classic Sunny and everything about it was perfect, right down to thinking a single water bottle would lube up a whole slide

[d_phaneuf]

Bacula's solo alone made the episode a top tenner for me. The Quantum Leap references were priceless.

you mean Blacula? a vampire?

Also "The Jinx" / Robert Durst references with Frank's nervous burps and admitting to everything while excusing himself to the bathroom.

[Thor]

This season has started off incredibly well. The making a murderer was so hilarious!

[blankall]

That episode was golden. Lol Charlie answering "I guessed it" and then it turns out he'd been taking cat tranquilizers.

[EldrickOnIce]

If it smells like ####, you must acquit.

Brilliant episode

[aaronck]

I have NO idea how they dropped the language they did in the newest episode...

Season 13...

Is Dennis gone now? Cant remember if something happened at the end of season 12.

Either way, looks awesome!

[getbak]

Yes, he discovered he had a son living in North Dakota and decided to move there to be a father. I believe they left it as a bit of a cliffhanger in case NBC didn't pick up AP Bio and Howerton was available, but they picked it up, so he wasn't.

I read somewhere that he will be appearing this season, but I'm not sure how much.

From August 3rd:



https://tvline.com/2018/08/03/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-glenn-howerton-back-dennis-season-13-fxx/



The Paddy’s Pub gang is officially all here: The stars of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (https://tvline.com/tag/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia/) confirmed that co-star Glenn Howerton (Dennis) will be back as a full-fledged cast member for the upcoming Season 13.


“He’s in pretty much every episode,” star/creator Rob McElhenney told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Friday. (In fact, Howerton appears in both episodes screened in advance for critics.) The writers “talked about all sorts of different ideas” about how to address Dennis’ possible absence, he admits, “before we knew that Glenn was actually coming back.”

[socalwingfan]

Man, episode 5 of the new season was great. Seeing Mac and Charlie beat up the kids who stole their bikes is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

[8sPOT]

I was not expecting that, and then could not contain my laughter throughout the whole scene. Sooo good.

[d_phaneuf]

That was great, my 2nd favorite scene of the season after the one a few episodes ago where Dennis times up'd everyone

[scotty2hotty]

^^^ I had to pause that episode because I laugh cried when Mac picked up Dee. It was just so ridiculous and unexpected.

[DownInFlames]

At first I was like, “A clip show? Seriously?” but they killed it. The Seinfeld scene was perfect.

[Matata]

The season finale was incredible, instant contender for best episode in a series with tons of great episodes. I would highly, highly recommend going into it cold.


I had tears well up at the end, but I'm an absolute sucker for Sigur Ros and the song used means a lot to me. They succeeded in being impressive, beatiful and hilarious all at once, I can't even think of anything I could compare it to. I had forgotten how well Devito can act and he sealed it like an all star.

[8sPOT]

Aww this season is already over?? Damn.

Really great.

The evolution of Mac as a character as well as the show overall is pretty incredible.

[pseudoreality]

Just like Frank, I didn't get it. I was waiting for the joke or something funny to happen, but instead, it was like an ABC sitcom going for an Emmy or something.

I preferred the Day Man Cometh play myself.

[socalwingfan]

That season finale was simply awesome. My wife who is not a big fan of the show, was crying at the end. I love how Rob and crew presented the struggles LGBT face in such a beautiful way - one of my favorite episodes of all time

[Flash Walken]

what the hell did i just watch?

[8sPOT]

Devito had me howling the whole episode. That cut getting worse and worse.

Then Macs routine at the end, at first I was like oh thats cool, good way to 'show' his Dad. Then I was like ok wow how long does this go on for? And then I was like wow he really put a lot of prep and practice into this, respect.

I agree this show probably had the best 'coming out' story arc for a character ever. It was a slow organic process and by the time Mac told the gang they were like 'ya big deal Mac, we've known forever, now lets get back to drinking!'

[Matata]

I think the dance worked as a comedic piece and laughed a few times during it. Intercutting it with frank and the prisoners gobsmacked reactions, how utterly unexpected it was and how drawn out it was made for good comedic fodder. Kind of like when family guy would do the Conway Twitty songs. It's absurdist humour, which makes it a tougher sell, but it worked for me.

[DeluxeMoustache]

I got a kick out of how it played out, whole weird explanation Mac gave Frank being mirrored in the dance, which is somehow elaborately stages for Mac’s dad, then that Luther leaves, the gal reassures Mac that it is all going to be okay, and then Frank eventually ‘gets it’.

So no cathartic moment for Mac with Luther. No “I love you, son.” And not that Mac necessarily respects Frank or wants his approval, and Frank is a bad role model, and generally awful person. But he is, somehow, after all the years and shenanigans, in a certain way the gang’s surrogate dad.

I also like how Mac wrestled with his whole identity and the gang generally didn’t give a crap one way or the other

[Meelapo]

I've never watched anything that I could describe as being beautiful. However, the dance that ended the season was just that. The emotion and the amount of work that all participants had to take on is nothing short of amazing. Rob McElhenney was great in this episode!

And lets not forget about Danny DeVito's Frank. The emotion that he showed on his face was fantastic!

Vulture has a really great article on how the scene came to be.

https://www.vulture.com/2018/11/its-always-sunny-mac-dance-season-13-finale.html

[Thor]

Holy crap, just watched it last night and knew ahead of time there was a dance number with Sigur Ros music and Mac.

Blown away, this show is such a gem!

[Huntingwhale]

Watched the finale last night. Devito was hysterical in that episode. Maybe the best I've seen him in the show. He's such a disgusting goof in the show that I often forget it's because he's such a talented actor. He's a natural in this role. Good stuff by him.

Can't say enough about Mac's performance. Was waiting for the punchline to end it. But I think it was important how it ended without one. Some things in life are more important than cheap laughs, and I'm glad such an influential show like this one was able to parlay the message they wanted. Mack was indeed, able to find his pride!

Also nice to see the reaction the finale had within the LGBQT community. I took a peak at the actors Instagram accounts and it's nothing but praise and often tears with the direction they went.

Fantastic ending and I hope they come back for season 14. But even if it were to end on that note, I'd be satisfied.

[Sainters7]

Necro bump with the premiere this week...anyone know how to watch new episodes on a streaming site?

I hear Disney+ has Sunny but apparently not the last few seasons? I see it's on Hulu but I think that's still blocked in Canada? Thanks if you know! Need my Sunny fix..

[getbak]

They should be here, but it doesn't look like they've added yesterday's yet: https://www.fxnowcanada.ca/shows/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia/

[KTrain]

We've been watching recently on FX (cable) and noticed they play only the last few seasons over and over again. I wonder if that's because of the streaming licenses.

I didn't watch last night's episode but I'm looking forward to it. It's consistently deplorable and hilarious.

[14]

Not streaming but all 15 seasons are available on my Shaw on Demand. One of the reasons I still have Shaw. Also every 30 for 30. Good stuff.

[KTrain]

I watched the episode and it was pretty good. Basically a recap of what the gang did in 2020 and how what they did tied into the crazy news stories of the last year.

[getbak]

There were 2 new episodes this week. The second one was them making a "woke" version of a Lethal Weapon sequel.

[Sainters7]

They should be here, but it doesn't look like they've added yesterday's yet: https://www.fxnowcanada.ca/shows/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia/Thanks man! Appreciated

[Hemi-Cuda]

New season is starting strong. The inflatable furniture gags in the first episode were brilliant, and the title card cut in the 2nd episode had me laughing really hard

Charlie, Mac and Dennis are doing a semi-regular podcast, watching an old episode the night before and then talking about it (and many other things)
on the podcast- talking about what worked, what didn't etc. It's obvious that they are taking notes and trying to go back to what really worked during it's heyday and it's really helping. I thought the 2 new episodes were phenomenal and looking forward to the rest of the new season! Watching the "Kitten Mittens" episode right now
