So I started watching Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia last night on Netflix ....

IvaBigWun

And Im already on the second season! Admittedly the first only has 7 episodes so it wasnt too hard

From what Ive read about it if I like it now I'll love it by season 3. Ive seen it been described as "Seinfeld on Crack" but I dont know what kind of a yardstick that is as I never got around to Seinfeld.

All I know is, so far, its pretty damn good.

The only complaint I can pick so far is, actress wise, there's no decent eye candy so far.

Are there many fans of it on here?

papu

Yeah I love it , Kinda Jealous of you watching it all for the first time.

ScummyMan

Great show, keeps getting better too!

alroley

One of my favourites! I think it was 2 years ago I watched it all for the first time - way too quickly!

gotthebug

Love it watching to for the third time but will be starting season 9 tonight for the first time.it reminds me more of a British comedy then any American ones. Well worth watching for any1 who has netflix

Da Shins Kelly

One of the best comedies out there at the moment, totally bat**** crazy. Love the episode where they think Charlie was molested by a teacher as a child. Some I'd the topics they deal with are kinda dodgy sometimes, but they deal with it in such a great way!

Yer Aul One

Incredible show

markhogan

Great Show

J. Marston

Funniest show on TV. Each member of the cast is hilarious.

As for eye candy, Dee is kinda hot, for an ostrich.

Favourite clips...

Ok, season 2. Here we go.

Is it just me or does Danny Devito add nothing to this show?

Not really what the show is about. I think part of the point of the show is that the characters are the dregs of society - they're lunatics running a sh*tty pub in a dodgy part of Philadelphia. I don't think it would make as much sense if they were really attractive.

I have to say, I love Kaitlin Olson in it. I think she's a great comedy actress and well able to hold her own against the lads in the show.

Last episode, 1st season. Charlie was molested, the best episode of all.

SprostonGreen

Great show. I too only started watching on Netflix a few weeks ago. Up to season 3 now.

Euphoria Intensifies

Such a good show. This thread has got me thinking that I need to watch it over again!

You definitely won't be saying Danny Devito adds nothing when you watch another season or 2

It's a real laugh-out-loud show. Charlie's probably my fave out of the gang. It's so funny that he and the waitress are married IRL.

in season 2 yes. But he finds his place after that. Awesome show! Even the most recent season was gold

Mac and Dee are married in real life too!

I think Charlie is also my favourite. I feel like he's the least awful out of them all. I love his dream book (or his "dram bok" :pac:).

Wiki

In April 2014, the series was renewed for an eleventh and twelfth season, each to consist of 10 episodes

Ive a long way to go so!

That was probably my favorite joke of the whole show.

Next season won't be out until early next year, plenty of time to watch the 9 seasons and be ready for it.

IvaBigWun

Meant to say lads, even though its a comedy, could you still spoiler any spoilers so they dont spoil anything

Bacon and Cabbage

Cat in the wall eh? OK, now you're talking my language

FreudianSlippers

The Gang Buys A Boat and Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person are probably two of my favourite episodes.

Glebee

Just watched the first few episodes. Its not what I was expecting at all and thats a good thing...

gazzer

It has to be one of the funniest tv shows I have ever seen. I only started watching it in January of last year. I was on holidays in the states and got in from a club one night at about 3am and put on the tv in my hotel room and there was this hilarious show. It turned out to be episode 1 of Season 7.

"Frank's Pretty Woman"

When I got home I started watching it from Season 1 and had all 8 seasons watched in 2 months. Then I had to wait for Season 9.

It is so funny. I love all the characters in it. Danny De Vito is just brilliant in it.

SprostonGreen

In Charlie gets molested, Mac's indignation at not been molested is priceless, showing up in shorts at the PE teacher's house was hilarious.

Yer Aul One

This is definitely my favourite scene

The minute he sees the Charlie-mannequin he'll change his mind

"How come we never play nightcrawlers no more Frank?"

maximoose

Danny Devito as Frank is a bit of a slow burner, but it's not long until he becomes irreplaceable.

Jealous of you watching through for the first time, what a show! Such a lovable bunch of utterly despicable human beings :pac:

ghogie91

Its very funny for 2 or 3 seasons but i think it gets a bit boring after that then

I don't. It's one of the few shows that still is funny after 9 seasons.

Yer Aul One

The entrance music fills me with overwhelming nostalgia from when I gorged on the show for a full year

Thargor

whys it so Christmas-y? Is that an in-joke I missed or something? Its a very weird intro. That and the weak first season plus the 4:3 aspect ratio means anyone I recommend it to usually gives up on it...

Sideshow Mark

This and The League (similar humour to Always Sunny) are my top two Netflix comedy discoveries. Never heard of either of them until Netflix.

Mr.Prodston

The

M.A.C

system too :pac:

I thought it was supposed to be one of very few shows that get much, much better after a few seasons?

What was the ratio of this show originally? It doesn't look quite right on Netflix

Thargor

Just normal 4:3 from bac in the day, I think it goes 16:9 after season 3 but season 6 is the first time you get 720p.

16:9 is the widescreen look?

Yep, just checked and season 5 is the first widescreen season and season 6 is when it goes widescreen HD 720p for good.
