Peaked with the musical episode and has been on the wane ever since.

Game of Games and the HS reunion eps were amazing.

Pffft since day one this show has been south park-y, i.e. it can be amazing but also if they do a shitty theme or want to make a point it sucks. This isn't really any different.
Last season had both Frank's Pretty Woman and his brother which was amazing.

You get the feeling some eps are written solely around giving the audience an "Oh no they didn't!" moment.

the meta didnt really add much for me but it didnt detract either, i enjoyed the ep v much

charlie not listening, the song, the twink/twank/twunk stuff, frank dancing in the guy's office. srsly that was a v entertaining ep

dees racist latina impression
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 13:46 (eleven years ago) link
So, I watched the first DeVito-less season, and while amused, wasn't impressed enough to continue. Obviously plenty of folks love this show, but plenty of folks love those so-so DeVito free eps, too. Should I give future seasons a shot, or is it just more or less variations on the same original idea? Does it grow or develop or no, or at least get funnier, or does it just kind of vamp on tasteless scenarios and un-PC jokes a la "Archer?"
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 20 October 2012 13:57 (eleven years ago) link
obvs everyone itt thinks this the show is the best
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 14:22 (eleven years ago) link
Eh i think i'm starting to lose interest in this show. And yeah Dee's racist impression was just dumb and stupid.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 20 October 2012 14:56 (eleven years ago) link
I know people here love it, but is it a case of "if you don't like the first season you won't ever like it" or "stick with it, because it gets even better/funnier" ?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
it gets more polished and elaborate but its p much all there in the 1st season iirc
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
i mean you obvs want to keep watching which you obvs should
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
first season is kinda lame. devito is the best character.
this ep and the last werent too hot. dee's racist latina lady is great tho.
― a hoy hoy, Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:19 (eleven years ago) link
also it is way different from archer type un-pc comedy. archer is 'haha look at what we can get away with saying' while sunny is 'omg these are horrible people listen to what they just said'

anyone who doesnt acknowledge charlies supremacy idk maybe there should be a diff thread for you
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:21 (eleven years ago) link
See, just within a couple posts, one person says season one is pretty much what you get later, and the next says season one is lame.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:25 (eleven years ago) link
ya but the second person also thinks danny devito is better than charlie so theyre not really reliable
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
idk season 1 just seems like an extended pilot to me.
― a hoy hoy, Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:29 (eleven years ago) link
tbh i have not done exhaustive comparative studies of the many seasons of its always sunny in philadelphia in the finest ilx tv criticism tradition, i just remember watching the first season and then wanting to watch the second season because it was funny
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
they put together the pilot themselves for like zero dollars iirc which is p rad
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
the first episode i saw tho i think was the one from a later season where they try to go on trip somewhere but fail to leave the city
― --bob marley (lag∞n), Saturday, 20 October 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
this is a show i've never really watched according to "seasons," for some reason, i just kinda pick at random. the only seasons that seem distinct are the first one (no de vito) and whatever the last one was (fat mac)
and of course charlie is the best character, fuiud

at least watch the nightman musical ep before deciding whether to continue
― Mordy, Saturday, 20 October 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
I get that Devito brings a ton of wildness to this that's really necessary to break the core four out of their usual rhythms, but i just don't recognize as human someone who doesn't see Charlie as the top character here I mean come on.

This has been a cruisy season so far, but even when cruising Sunny is funnier than any other current US sitcom.

Best of the season so far. Nice to see Charlie fucking someone over rather than being fucked over.

I was kind of put off by that bit, it seemed wildly out of character to me. But good episode overall!

― ya bish called wanda (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 10 November 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah it really feels like not much new is added to these characters and they are pretty much coasting on "You know how awful these people were? They're still awful people!" Maybe too many ensemble shows recently. Send Charlie off to do something on his own, etc.
