It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

With all the shows on TV these days I never know what to watch. It seems like there's a new show coming out every week. I'm not into all the dramatic shows like Grey's Anatomy, House, or Desperate Housewives. Now don't get me wrong, I was a huge OC fan, but ever since then I've sort of jumped ships. 

One show that has really caught my attention and I've just started watching is, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I had heard of it last year or so, but I never really bothered to watch it. A couple of weeks ago I was hanging out with one my friends who really likes it, so I was pretty much forced to watch it. Lets just say since then I've completely caught up on all of the episodes this season, and I guess you can call me a regular in terms of watching the show. It's kind of a Seinfeld like show. There is a lot of humor in it and each episode has a main story but also little side stories that all intertwine. 

It's mostly based on five characters. Dennis and Dee are brother and sister, their dad is Frank, and then there are Charlie, and Mac who are their best friends. They all own this pub named Paddy's Pub in Philly. Basically it is about their lives as they run this pub and they are always doing crazy things. One reason why it's very catchy is the characters are very down to earth. They are like your everyday people. 

One of my favorite episodes so far has to be The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis (episode 2). In this episode we see in every great team there is always a Brain (Mac), a wildcard (Charlie), the looks (Dennis), and the muscle (Frank). With the gas prices rising they set out to find a way to benefit from it. They try to get a loan to buy gallons and gallons of gas to sell in the future when the gas prices are even higher. One of their plans involves selling the gas door to door. If girl scouts can sell cookies why can't they sell gas?? In the sidelines of this episode we have Frank trying to torture Dee because he thinks she is trying to kill him to get an inheritance they were plotting to get from another family member. Lost yet? 

I would definitely recommend checking this show out and give it at least two episodes to decide if you really like it or not. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is on Thursday nights on FX at 10 PM. Sometimes I forget or just don't have time to watch it, so the nice thing about this show is all the episodes are offered online, at the FX website.
