    Summary

    Reviewers say 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' is acclaimed for its dark humor and bold approach to taboo subjects. The ensemble cast, especially Danny DeVito, is lauded for their chemistry and performances. Often likened to 'Seinfeld' for its character-driven comedy, the show's clever writing and unique characters are highlighted. However, its crude humor and profanity may not suit all tastes. Despite some noting a decline in later seasons, its longevity and consistent quality are praised, making it a standout in unconventional comedy.

    Best show of all time

    If this show doesn't blast your nips off we have nothing to talk about. Jabroni.

    The best show currently on cable TV!

    I have said it before, but one of the joys of summer is watching summer shows , knowing that they aren't being given even the slightest chance of survival. In most cases, these shows are being deservingly dumped in the summer because most of them are terrible. Surprisingly, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", which premiered earlier this month, is not terrible. Even though it seemed like it might have been, it ended up being one of the better shows to come along so far in the 2000s. The show is about four friends who own a bar in Philadelphia. At first glance, it doesn't seem like anything special. The owning a bar scenario has been done several times before in a variety of other sitcoms including "Cheers" and the recently canceled "Grounded For Life". However, since the show is more clever and much funnier than the previous sitcoms who have used the device, one can forgive the lack of originality.

    What makes "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" better than any other of the sitcoms that are on today is the clever writing. The writing on sitcoms these days is beyond awful. The writing on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is great. In fact, if the show doesn't receive an Emmmy nomination for writing, there is no justice in the world. The three episodes that have aired so far have been incredibly well written and unlike with most sitcoms, the dialogue doesn't seem like typical sitcom dialogue. The dialogue comes across as natural as opposed to coming across as forced like on network sitcoms and other cable comedies. The writers are also the stars and executive producers of the show, which gives them almost complete control. Let's hope the writing staff doesn't change. I'd give "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" 9/10. It's one of the best shows one is ever likely to see on cable.

    One of the best comedies ever created!

    It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is absolutely, without a doubt, the greatest comedy ever created! You would think that after 15 incredible seasons that it would start to get stale but it hasn't...EVERY season is just as hilarious as the others. It's amazing that show going into its 16th season hasn't gone stale yet but every year it's still as good as the one before and every year I still look forward to this wonderful show. The entire cast is so incredibly funny it's hard to say who's the best, they are all equally talented and equally hilarious. The 5 of them have literally become their characters and make it look so easy, you can tell they're all having a great time doing this show. That's why it's been on so long. Love this show so much!

    One of the best comedies of our lifetime

    This is one of the most consistently funny shows I think I ever have seen and I say that after watching another hilarious season(14). I personally re watched the whole series recently over a course of a month and its even better when you have that kind of continuity since everything is connect. There are only two other shows that Ive seen(in my lifetime) that are this consistently funny; Seinfeld and Curb. But to Its Always Sunny's credit they have made way more seasons and compared to Curb in a shorter amount of time.

    Absolutely Hilarious!!

    I don't even know how to describe how much I love this show. It's easily one of my favorite comedies in the history of television. I don't know anyone who's seen this show who hasn't loved it. This is one of those shows where you'll have to watch each episode more than once because you'll miss parts from laughing so much. I've seen every episode of every season a few times and it's just as funny rewatching it as it was the first time. The cast (Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson and Danny DeVito) is perfect. They are all hilarious, as are all the supporting characters. I can't recommend this show enough, do yourself a favor and go watch it as soon as you can. I promise that you won't be disappointed.

    • Quotes

      Mac: What do we need a mattress for?

      Dennis Reynolds: What do you mean what do we need a mattress for? Why in the hell do you think we just spent all that money on a boat? The whole purpose of buying the boat in the first place was to get the ladies nice and tipsy topside so we can take 'em to a nice comfortable place below deck and, you know, they can't refuse, because of the implication.

      Mac: Oh, uh... okay. You had me going there for the first part. The second half kinda threw me.

      Dennis Reynolds: Well, dude, dude, think about it. She's out in the middle of nowhere with some dude she barely knows. You know, she looks around and what does she see? Nothin' but open ocean. "Ahh, there's nowhere for me to run! What am I gonna do, say no?"

      Mac: Okay. That... that seems really dark.

      Dennis Reynolds: Nah, no, it's not dark. You're misunderstanding me, bro.

      Mac: I'm-I think I am.

      Dennis Reynolds: Yeah, you are, because if the girl said no then the answer obviously is no...

      Mac: No. Right.

      Dennis Reynolds: But the thing is she's not gonna say no; she would never say no because of the implication.

      Mac: ...Now, you've said that word "implication" a couple of times. Wha-what implication?

      Dennis Reynolds: The implication that things might go wrong for her if she refuses to sleep with me. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she's thinkin' that they will.

      Mac: But it sounds like she doesn't wanna have sex with you...

      Dennis Reynolds: Why aren't you understanding this? She-she doesn't know if she wants to have sex with me! That's not the issue...

      Mac: Are you gonna hurt women?

      Dennis Reynolds: I'm not gonna hurt these women! Why would I ever hurt these women? I feel like you're not getting this at all!

      Mac: I'm not getting it.

      Dennis Reynolds: Goddamn.

      [notices old woman staring at them]

      Dennis Reynolds: Well, don't you look at me like that. You certainly wouldn't be in any danger.

      Mac: So they are in danger!

      Dennis Reynolds: No one's in any danger!

    • Crazy credits
      The show's RCH production logo (now RCG) features an image of creators/stars Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton wearing hoodies and sunglasses. A sound clip plays backwards over the logo. In season 1 the clip says 'You are stupid for playing this forward' when reversed; in season 2 it says 'Is it brown? Is it brown? Good work. Is it brown? Is it brown?'; in season 3 it says 'Make it brown. Make it brown. Make it brown.' each actor chanting the words.
