Most stay away from the establishment due to the numerous stabbings that have taken place. [18], This was then developed into a pilot called It's Always Sunny on TV and was shot on a digital camcorder[19] and filmed in the actors' own apartments. The series follows the exploits of "The Gang", a group of narcissistic, sociopathic friends who run the Irish dive bar Paddy's Pub in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but spend most of their free time drinking, scheming, arguing amongst themselves, and plotting elaborate cons against others, and at times each other, for personal benefit, financial gain, revenge, or simply out of boredom, while belittling, berating, and manipulating each other in the process at seemingly any opportunity. Howertons Dennis is the smartest member of the group, which still makes him very dumb, but allows him access to deeper insight into how to accomplish despicable schemes. The Philadelphia Inquirer reviewer Jonathan Storm wrote, "It's like Seinfeld on crack," a quote that became widely used to describe the series,[54] to the point that FX attached the tagline, "It's Seinfeld on crack. "We just looked at each other and said, 'I want to get married! ABOUT SEASON 14 See All 20:57 Like role-playing of like, 'I'm your stalker and you're awful to me.'".

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is 15 seasons in and it still hasn't run out of original ideas - but one of its best was randomly brought up in conversation, and could fix a major series plot hole. Romance may not be a key plotline in the slacker comedy, but it features heavily behind the scenes. "It's funny because it's so awful, and it's exactly what you're not supposed to do.". Naughton played a completely different and unrelated character in season 4, episode 10, "Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack," as he was the HR director who hired Rob and Charlie despite them being totally unqualified. The season consists of eight episodes and makes the series the longest-running live-action comedy series in American television history, surpassing The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Dennis Reynolds: Well, don't you look at me like that. Was almost canceled after its first season, but renewed at the last minute when FX executives decided to give it room to grow. Even still, the purpose of the show has always been to satirize and poke fun at its characters, not to condone them. Kiessling's work ("On Your Bike" and "Blue Blood") can also be heard during various scene transitions throughout the show, along with other composers and pieces such as Werner Tautz ("Off Broadway"), Joe Brook ("Moonbeam Kiss"), and Karl Grell ("Honey Bunch").

And often in order to do so, you have to kind of shake them up a little bit.

According to Day, Liotta was very funny without being over the top. During filming, Liotta would pitch [Day] jokes that he wanted to try, and [Day] would always let him try it. He noted that about half of the jokes proposed by Liotta were kept in the movie. The show began back in 2005 on FX, with It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia following the gang of losers running dive bar Paddy's Pub. Im super-proud of it. Next: It's Always Sunny In Moscow Is A Terrible Remake. [15] The decision to make their own short films was further influenced by the release of the affordable Panasonic DVX100A digital camera as well as the accessible, low-budget look of The Office (UK) and Curb Your Enthusiasm.[13].

Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, and Charlie Day also host the Always Sunny Podcast, which sees the gang giving hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the episodes. There are some added moments, added scenes, added songs, and extended versions of songs that already existed. And then I go and do something else, and I may be pitching something, and then I realize, like, 'Oh, it's wholly inappropriate for the show what I'm doing because these are supposed to be real human beings,' whereas, on 'Sunny,' they are cartoon characters, and we can, kind of, get away with a whole lot more.". Dennis enjoys playing mind games on family, friends and lovers alike, and famously pioneered the horrid D.E.N.N.I.S. They explained the extravagant expense spent on a.

Against all odds, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is now one of the longest-running live-action sitcoms of all time, beating out the likes of Cheers. Dennis longs for a charming, authentic European experience, but ends up helping Frank with some of his businesss 'dirty work.' While she's a brunette at the age of 26 in the first season, her style evolves from coffee shop chic to a more sophisticated (and blonde) look. Of course, if Nintendo could set aside strict brand management and work Bowsette into the sequel, Olson could really have a meaty role on her hands. [47] Independent record label Fervor Records has also contributed music to the show. [42], In April 2017, Kaitlin Olson announced that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia would go on an extended hiatus. However, as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 16 had already been shot, the idea likely won't happen until season 17 - and that's if it ever happens. In season 2, they are joined by Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito), an eccentric millionaire and the neglectful father of the Reynolds twins, who takes over most of the ownership of the bar.
