TV Spotlight -- It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (FX)

Image Hosting by imagefra.me

This post is almost beyond cliche with just about everyone I know fully loyal to this 30 minute gem, but I still find people out there who have yet to watch It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and it honestly somewhat sickens me. I have been very clear and verbal about how lame I find it that year after year, best comedy nods at the Emmy's go to shows like 30 Rock and The Office. Don't get me wrong - both are shows I have seen every episode of. But anyone with a brain knows that there are better comedies on the air. And no, I'm not talking about Family Guy.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia airs Thursday nights at 10pm on the FX network. With great staple shows like Nip/Tuck and Sons of Anarchy, FX is becoming a go-to cable station for good content that needs the edge FX can add for them (cursing, boozing, blood, etc). I am infatuated with shows that skip the network television strangle hold and shoot straight to cable where stuff like Comcast On-Demand is a given and I don't have to deal with network mandated themed episodes (NBC, give me a break).

Back to the point, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is hysterical. I am a firm believer that shows start to lose their luster after a few successful seasons. But It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia never fails to please. Of course there are some episodes that are better than others, but the quick wit and writing is unmatched. Tune in Thursday nights - unless you have no soul, you will be laughing.
