It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Hate to say it, but this season's definitely not impressing so far. Things have gotta be more ridiculous - and it looks like next week shall take care of that.

Exactly what I was thinking. decent so far for me, but not great like it can be! Talking to my friend about how usually there's not too much plot stuff that carries over, unlike the first 2 episodes.
...then I saw the ad for the boat & was like THIS is the Sunny I want!! can't wait for next week!

I thought Frank and Charlie was the best storyline tonight. Charlie carrying around the laminate of their marriage license around his neck at the strip club. And Charlie's uncle is wicked funny too. The thing at the end that he does with his hands. Not the best episode, but pretty damn good. B+

That's the problem. The last two episodes have gotten a snicker or smirk out of me. And that's not the point of this show - it's suppose to make me hurt from laughter. I expect better, and next week looks like better potential for said hurting.

ah and the backlash begins - one a show gets popular and into the mainstream people start to say it's unfunny and not as good as before...

Not the reason at all. But hey, you've always been terrible at assumptions.

No backlash. Just wasn't that funny.

agreed it hasn't been as funny as before. seems like they have crammed too much stuff into each episode. we had three story lines going during the last episode. i didn't notice the beer last night.

In the bar it is the only beer, which is fine because it is a bar and all but also when they were drunk at Dennis' apt and he was telling her he wanted a divorce there was a gigantic stack of coors light cases in the background.

i missed it. they are always drinking, so i don't pay attention to it. the subway stuff was a bit much last week.

Totally agree. Not only have these two episodes been unfunny, but Dee and Dennis are becoming REALLY unlikeable. I guess they've always been jerks.....but they seemed to be jerks unknowingly. Now, they're just plain mean. The Charlie/Frank marriage had some funny stuff to it, but even that was just the B-story to Dennis' marriage.

Last two weeks - the first 5 mins. have been the funniest...its all downhill from there
still a good laugh tho

7 posts on the previous page alone saying it's hasn't been funny yet - don't see how what i said is an assumption but logic pretty much goes thrown out the window in these threads. and don't try and deny that inevitably that is what happens with many of these shows. cult following loves it, mainstream picks up on it, cult says it's no good anymore.

No one is saying it's not funny anymore, we are saying 2 episodes have not lived up to previous seasons.

I'm not saying this doesn't happen. Metallica is a perfect example of this: the "cult" fans totally turned on The Black Album. But it's not like I think Season 6 of Sunny hasn't been funny just because the "mainstream" has picked it up. I just don't think it's been funny. In fact, it's been annoying. Mac was annoying (and very unrealistic) in the first episode and Dennis was annoying in this one.

That's not to say there weren't funny moments because there were...but not enough to save these two episodes for me. I'm sure they'll be some good/great ones as the season progresses.

Yeah i didn't really care for this past episode at all. I didn't laugh at all. Hopefully it gets funnier later. Saw previews for the Halloween episode which could be good.
