It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 12
"The Gang Reignites the Rivalry"
December 10, 2009 - 10:12p.m.
Last year’s Sunny finale was "The Nightman Cometh," and that’s pretty tough to top. So I’m glad the gang went the other way and just did a more typical Sunny episode, albeit one that felt more … coked-up ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 11
"Mac and Charlie Write a Movie"
December 3, 2009 - 10:12p.m.
Sunny checked another item off the list of “Philadelphia things it needs to spoof” tonight with a rather batty extended M. Night Shyamalan spoof episode. There were crazy twists, shocking violence and a lot of mentions of Dolph Lundgren. One ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 10
"The D.E.N.N.I.S. System"
November 19, 2009 - 10:11p.m.
“The D.E.N.N.I.S. System” was a little lighter on laughs than last week but had an amusingly intricate plot (something that’s rare for Sunny), and a fantastic, disgusting denouement (something that’s very common, but ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 9
"Mac and Dennis Break Up"
November 12, 2009 - 10:11p.m.
“Mac and Dennis Break Up,” Sunny’s best episode this year so far was definitely its calmest, lacking any big set-pieces, or guest stars, or appearances by green man, or even a scene set at the bar. But in terms ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 8
"Paddy's Pub: Home of the Original Kitten Mittens"
November 5, 2009 - 10:11p.m.
Season 5 of Sunny has been one of the best years the show’s had in terms of consistency, but this week’s episode had something I think a lot of the s5 episodes have been lacking: a well-thought out ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 7
"The Gang Wrestles for the Troops"
October 29, 2009 - 10:10p.m.
It feels like Sunny can cure even a half-decent episode just by ending on a bafflingly camp song by the guys and Dee getting whacked in the face with a steel chair, but “The Gang Wrestles for the Troops” really ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 6
"The World Series Defense"
October 22, 2009 - 09:10p.m.
When I went on Fox’s website yesterday to grab a picture of this week’s Sunny episode for this review, and saw the image above, I knew it was gonna be great this week. And it was. It was ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 5
"The Waitress is Getting Married"
October 15, 2009 - 10:10p.m.
Sunny dug deep for the return of the waitress this week and produced levels of gross chaos that trumped anything else they’ve done this year. When I say gross, I mean gross, like a kid in grade school would ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 4
"The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention"
October 8, 2009 - 10:10p.m.
One of my favorite things in Sunny is whenever they have a professional, straight-laced bystander who hangs around for an episode and watches the gang completely lose their shit. This week was centered around an intervention for Frank’s drinking ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 3
"The Great Recession"
October 1, 2009 - 11:10p.m.
Another pseudo-topical entrant from Sunny tonight: After introducing viewers to the cause of the economic downturn with the season five premiere, “The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis,” shit got even more real in episode three when the gang got their ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 2
"The Gang Hits the Road"
September 24, 2009 - 09:09p.m.
Last week’s episode of Sunny was one of those episodes where they all get drunk and do things, and everything kind of, but not really, relates to a topical issue at hand. This week’s episode was one of ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 5, episode 1
"The Gang Exploits The Mortgage Crisis"
September 17, 2009 - 10:09p.m.
It's been a long summer of genteel comedy on basic cable channels that don't encourage rampant swearing and immorality. Heck, it's been a long winter, spring and summer since "The Night Man Cometh." But what's that ...

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 13
"The Nightman Cometh"
November 20, 2008 - 10:11p.m.
Too much is riding on this musical finale, frankly. The season has been criticized for being too uneven, and the finale concept inevitably feels like a Hail Mary. It couldn't help but fail on so many levels. Nothing could ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 12
"The Gang Gets Extreme: Home Makeover Edition"
November 13, 2008 - 10:11p.m.
Oh no. The gang is going to try to help people. Not out of any altruistic motives, mind you, but because The Secret told them that they have to do good deeds to get the stuff on their vision boards ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 11
"The Gang Cracks The Liberty Bell"
November 6, 2008 - 10:11p.m.
Ah, the episode where our present-day characters dress up in costumes and portray a comic version of some historic event! It worked for Lucy and Desi; it worked for Bob Newhart and that woman who played his wife when he ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 10
"Sweet Dee Has A Heart Attack"
October 30, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
Donna's jet-setting again–this week: Chicago!–so I'm back with you to talk Sunny. And I'll give it to you straight, before I go download a hoagie off the internet: As with a lot of this season ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 9
"Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life"
October 23, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
When you write about a comedy week in and week out (except when you have to spend a week in Denmark every so often), it's kind of like having children. You tend to overanalyze all the good moments and ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 8
"Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar In Philadelphia"
October 16, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
Donna's off in Denmark at a conference right now, so I'll be with you tonight to talk Sunny. Here's what I know about Denmark: Carl Dreyer, Lars Von Trier, those tasty cream-cheese-filled pastries, and–just a guess ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 7
"Who Pooped The Bed?"
October 9, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
My four-year-old daughter was entertaining me tonight at my swanky birthday dinner at the local Chick-Fil-A. "Mom, I'll tell you a joke," she said. "Why was 6 afraid of 7?" "I don't know, sweetie, why?" I answered. "Because ... -
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: season 4, episode 5 & 6
"Mac and Charlie Die, Parts 1 & 2"
October 2, 2008 - 10:10p.m.
It's the last Thursday of double-sized Sunnies; next week the sniggeringly-titled Testees takes over the second half-hour. I haven't been a big fan of the two-at-once approach, which I hereby suggest we rename the "Three's Company type ...
