Anyone watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

[DaveCinzano]

supporting cast is great too especially Liam McPoyle

Makes it very difficult watching House Of Cards

 

[quimcunx]

Unusally there are no weak links. All 5 members of the gang are funny and their supporting cast is great too especially Liam McPoyle

I saw him outside Blackfriars station a year or two back. It's the first time I've been excited about seeing someone off the telly for a long time.

A pearost, but a wonderful one. Fat Mac in oil:

Fat Mac bears an uncanny resemblance to bare knuckle boxer James McCrory.

Of course! I watched him on that Vice doc the other night with an eerie sense of familiarity...

Pondering how influential a "Stephen Fry* says vote Sanders" tweet would've been. Suspect not at all.



*yes, ok, you come up with a more closely analogous British celeb, smartarse.

I love that comparison. For some reason it feels right though

What would you suggest as a good (the best) episode to show a 'doubter' who thinks it is too shouty and crass?

If they don't like shouty and crass they won't like any of it.

I am trying to hoodwink them

Try 'The Gang Goes to a Water Park' because it's fucking genius but it has a relatively inoccuous title.

I still wince just thinking about the ending though.

 

[T & P]

The one in the last series where they all go to a mediator to work out who is the legal owner of a winning lottery scratchcard was fucking ace IMO.

 

[Favelado]

You're a fat little slut.

New series starts on September 5th.

Dennis is only going to be in some of them, and it's not 100% sure that he's ever going to come back full-time. I've never seen Frank as anything more than a bolted on character, who I don't mind, but could happily lose. IASIP without Dennis long-term would be hard to accept.

Dee's my favourite though.

 

[joustmaster]

I think Frank is pretty important. It would have struggled to keep going without his help

In terms of the fact they needed a star to get publicity and ratings for the programme yeah. But the character was only created for that, he is a bolt-on. the concept for the programme doesn't need him, and didn't initally include him.

he allows lots of the situations to happen with his money and madness.

DeVito and Charlie play off each other really well I think. There might be longer gaps between series but would they continue without all the main four?

It seems like it's up in the air. Much as I love the show, it would be good to wrap it up soon. I would like it to end with a bang, rather than a whimper.

 

[krink]

I'm brand new to Always Sunny after hearing it referenced so much over the years and I watched the first five episodes of season 1 last night.
my question is does it get better? Yes it was ok and there were some good bits but it didn't really grab me. should i keep watching?

 

[butchersapron]

Yes you should.

 

[BoxRoom]

Yes! There's much greatness to follow.

 

[Sea Star]

I started watching series 1 recently and just thought they were arseholes and had that confirmed by an extremely.transphobic episode so gave up. Having seen that it gets better I'll give it another go.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

They're not doing a reset on Mac then

Transphobic is hardly the only thing made fun of in this show. It pretty much mocks/abuses everyone on earth so why you would single that out as a reason not to watch is a bit odd?

They are arseholes who never learn. And pretty much anyone can get a dissing from the gang, at any time. Thing is, as a viewer, we're laughing at their absurdity and crudeness - not with them.

 

[spanglechick]

They are horrible, awful people and bad things happen to them.
