It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I did a little post on the show in the TV group after watching the FX premiere last night.

I just wanted to shamelessly direct people's attention over there. I think this show could be a spiritual successor to Arrested Development.

1. I hated it

I thought the acting was badly done,but I'm no expert maybe people will like it I didn't.

2. I LOVE THAT SHOW... and now it's got Danny DeVito too

and Monk's coming back with new shows.. DeadZone's back, and so's The 4400...and Deadwood...who needs "network" crap?

3. I need to find a way to see the previous episodes

I really, REALLY liked what I saw.

It's going to be a critics darling, just like AD.

I just hope people catch on to this one a little faster. The expectations should be more manageable with it being on cable.

4. The one about the gun is HYSTERICAL

and the one about grandpa's "treasure box".....Check the video store..maybe they have the 1st season on DVD..or try Ebay..

It's a very irreverant and funny show.. I cannot believe they get away with the stuff they say.... and they are definitely a LIBERAL show ..they get some pretty deep digs in sometimes..

It's only been on one season, so you might be able to catch up easily...and it's apparently a very cheap show to produce, so it may stay on a while..

They did cancel Starved though.. That one was even funnier..in a very dark way :)

5. Where did the first season air?

I'm a pretty beig TV junkie but I'd never heard of Sunny until just recently.

What was Starved all about?

6. Starved was a comedy about people with eating disorders...

I liekd it better than Sunny, actually.

The two shows debuted some months back, but they only ran the pilots.

7. Ah, Saved by Bit Torrent again.

I found a torrent of Season one on TorrentSpy.

I can't wait to get home and start downloading it!

8. Same place..same time...

Starved was about 4 people with eating disorders.. The main character had a constant craving for Nemo's chocolate cakes.. He was an executive and would load his briefcase with them to "test" his resolve to NOT eat them.. he would ppour comet cleanser on them and toss them into the trash, and would then skulk out and eat them from the trash anyway..

they all attended a "12-step" program where the lady in charge called them worthless pieces of crap..(instead of the "ImOKYoureOK" stuff we usually see them use"..

One character was a cop who would stop people who were driving with food..he would confiscate their food and then eat it... He eventually got fired..

It sounds disgusting, and it was in a way,,.but it was funny as hell too..

9. That does sound good.

I'll have to look out for it.
