It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[Scarecrow]

Probably one of the best sitcoms in the last decade, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is returning for it's seventh season this September. Is anyone here a die hard fan like myself?

The series follows "The Gang", a group of five depraved underachievers: twin siblings Dennis and Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds, their friends Charlie Kelly and Mac, and Frank Reynolds, Dennis and Dee's adoptive father, who run Paddy's Pub, a run-down
bar in South Philadelphia. They are dishonest, egotistical, selfish, greedy, unethical, disloyal, lazy, manipulative, maniacal, diabolical, deceitful, hypocritical, vengeful, remorseless, overly competitive, antagonistic, arrogant and are often engaged in controversial issues. Episodes usually find them hatching elaborate schemes, conspiring against one another and others for personal gain, vengeance, or simply for the entertainment of watching each other's downfall. Their tactics often rely on inflicting emotional and sometimes physical and psychological pain on individuals both deserving and undeserving. They regularly use blackmail and manipulate one another and others outside of the group.

Their unity is not 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 among themselves. Despite their lack of worldly success, the Gang generally maintain high opinions of themselves and display an often obsessive interest in their own reputations and public images. Despite this high sense of self worth, the Gang often have little sense of shame when attempting to get what they want and will often engage in activities which others would find humiliating, disgusting, or even preposterous, such as smoking crack cocaine in order to qualify for welfare, seducing a priest, or hiding naked inside a leather couch in order to spy on someone.

I watched the first season and maybe 3 shows of the second and just never got into it for some reason.

I've heard of it but never watched it. I really want to.

[Scarecrow]

You should, freddy. Not everyone can get into it though.

[Dr. Briggs]

I like it, but I'm far from a huge fan. What I do like is that the girl, though a little less depraved than the guys, isn't played as the "straight man": equal-opportunity humor for Always Sunny!

My dad, however, is a huge fan. I don't think he laughs harder or more consistently than when he's watching ASIP X). He'll be very glad to know it's coming back.

I actually just heard in a recent interview with Danny DeVito that the show has been picked up through season nine! :claaaap:
