It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Decided to check this out and I really enjoyed it.

It's a lot darker than I expected with episode themes covering

abortion, child abuse & nazis

which may offend some.

Having morally ambiguous characters, makes a nice change and gives the show a slight Seinfeldesque quality.

Not a huge fan of DeVito in the second season. He just seems too big a star to be able to play a character in a show like this.

Agree with you there!

He's had one or two decent moments... but doesn't hold any comic weight compared to the genius that is Charlie Kelly!

Ye, what a genious. Danny devito completly over acts, which is hard to do in such an over the top show. The first series just blew me away though, especially seen as how i stumbled on by luck on bravo. Haven't loved an american comedy this much in a long time.

Danny DeVito has committed to continue as a series regular for all subsequent seasons.

Ah well, can't have everything. Good news all the same.

A couple more articles on the season renewal:

I had heard the creators were not happy initially that Danny DeVito joined the cast, but FX told them if a guy like DeVito wants in, he is in. Don't know if they have warmed to him yet or not. I don't think they need him in every episode. Every fourth or fifth (like those masters of social grace, the McPoyle brothers) would be plenty.
