It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Seasons 1 & 2

great show, i watch em all the time. the season finale of the new season (4) btw was the best episode yet

This show consistently makes me SCREAM with laughter just about every episode. The characters are absurdly idiotic and ridiculously hysterical. Every actor brings a unique quality to their character and the characters are like none you've ever seen before on TV or in a movie.

As for the DVD version, I was extremely happy with the Bonus Features, such as outtakes and a few Behind the Scenes featurettes. I only wish there were MORE!!! I loved watching the hilarious outtakes and you even get to see snippets from the original pilot episode they shopped around to the networks as well as Kaitlin Olson (Sweet Dee)'s audition footage.

LOVE IT!!!

The third season was over and done with by the time I discovered "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." This box set arguably contains the best season which, for me, is the first. Though a little over the top, there was still an aspect of realism to it that made the comedy all the edgier, all the smarter. Pair that with four quirky, lovable, bar-owning twentysomething characters who were almost Seinfeldian in their self-absorption, and you have a great show. The first episode approached the ideas of race and stereotype so hilariously and with such an element of truth that I was ready to declare this my favorite new series. Abortion, child abuse, cancer: subjects all dealt with a sort of South Park subversiveness except without the animation. The introduction of Danny DeVito in Season 2 playing Dennis and Dee's dad worried me a bit. But for the most part Season 2 was a winner, though, to me, there were a few less 5-star episodes and more 4-star ones, the opposite of Season 1.

And then it nowhere near approached, for me, the marginal disappointment of Season 3, for that tinge of realism that made the first two seasons' episodes so on-the-spot funny and edgy was all but gone and almost, but not quite, became outrageousness just for the sake of outrageousness. Funny to be sure, but not cutting edge anymore. Season 4: okay, but it's no longer a must-watch-right-away.

This box set, though, with the first two seasons: plenty of episodes worthy of being watched again and again. They are that funny!

This series revolves around 4 friends who run a bar in Philadelphia and who go through a variety of difficult but extremely funny and often extravagant situations. I had heard of the series previously but was only convinced of buying it after seeing an intervewi with the actress. What a suprise: this is a somewhat lesscorrect version of Friends meets My Name Is Earl. I agree that this may not be correct at all since this series has no respect for conventional moarl issues such as lying about having cancer, discovering a friend's grandfather was a nazi. It also tackles the strange love men sometimes has for guns ets... In some ways it is difficult to describe and understand if you have not seen this gem of comedy.

I forgot what it felt like to laugh until I saw this gem of a show. Pay the money for this! Love it,quote it, and laugh your way to the bank.
