Take the best elements from Seinfeld and Arrested Development and you have It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Combining the social-degenerate-buddy formula (three men, one woman) with the beyond-dysfunctional-family element, Philadelphia creates scenarios that are so hysterical, wrong, appalling, familiar, embarrassing, uncomfortable, and entertaining, the show is addictive like staring at a car wreck when you know you shouldn't, but you just can't look away; it's invigorating like a fresh, loud, wake-up slap on the face. The writing, the quick timing, and the performances are so natural, one wonders if anyone is even acting (but hopes to heaven they are). Danny DeVito joined the cast in the second season, in one of the best roles on TV. DeVito is "Frank," the buddy dad that just wants to be part of the gang, the dad that looks good on paper, but the experience for his kids is more like taking care of a vicious dog that isn't potty-trained. Three of his four talented cohorts (Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, and Rob McElhenney) not only star in the series, but write it as well. Thanks to their new take on old themes and a willingness to stretch the boundaries of appropriateness and exploit the audiences' inner insecurities, originality is back on TV.--Rachel Moss

| Worst acted, most annoying characters EVER! | 2010-02-28 | 1 / 5 |

I bought this show on a recommendation- because it was cheap and supposedly funny. I watched most of the first season and a couple of episodes from the second and could stomach no more. I kept waiting for the stories to get interesting or the characters to get enjoyable. For ANYTHING enjoyable about either one to pop up. Never happened.
The three guys that act the main characters out are rediculously over the top in just about every scene and the people they play have zero redeemable or even likeable qualities. Even worse, the stories are just plain stupid. If you can't get into the story or any of the characters, who cares about the show? It really is awful.
My last effort in dealing with it will be carrying it out to the garbage can. |

| It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is just a great form of entertainment. I love the character interactions, the situations, and the stories. If there is someone out there who hasn't seen the show, its your job to enlighten them. |

| My son requested this for Christmas - i had never seen the series and found myself watching it for an hour. Very funny and enjoyable. They tackle some pretty heavy moral issues. |

| Our college-aged kids told us how funny this series is so we started at series one to catch up. We were "challenged" to find its humor. It was one idea for the whole show and it went slowly...but we persevered thru the first 7 or so thinking it was us. When the kids came home they admitted it didn't get funny till Danny Devito comes on the scene, which is NOT on the first CD. False advertising on the jacket with his face the biggest? I guess it serves as character background. Better to start maybe with later series with DD in it already. |
