Editorial Reviews

Seven seasons in, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia continues to push the boundaries of bad taste and pure mean-spiritedness--in other words, exactly what the fans of this popular show want. It doesn't take long for the five lowlifes collectively known as "the Gang" to lower the bar (including the one they own and hang out in, Paddy's Pub) even further than before. Indeed, the tone is set in the very first of the 13 episodes in this two-disc boxed set when Frank (Danny DeVito) makes plans to marry a foul-mouthed, crackhead prostitute, only to watch her OD before he can pop the question. It ain't exactly Downton Abbey after that. Subsequent episodes find them visiting the Jersey Shore, where they variously hang out on a beach littered with used syringes, tiptoe past two homeless guys engaging in sodomy under the boardwalk, and smoke angel dust with some new liquor store-robbing "friends"; trying to file an assault charge against an obnoxious guy who "shushed" them in another bar; preparing for the advent of a Hurricane Sandy-style storm by ogling the well-endowed TV reporter who's on the scene; and, in a season-ending two-parter, attending their high school reunion, where they discover they're no more popular as adults than they were as students. Some of this is genuinely funny, like the video Frank concocts when they decide that Paddy's needs an online presence; some is just gross, including a disgusting bit about vomiting up fake blood. The fact is, there's a lot more raunch than wit in these episodes, most of which are celebrations of insults, inappropriate remarks, and just plain stupidity. Of course, one person's vulgar is another's hilarious; what some find repellent, others will consider merely irreverent. --Sam Graham

4.0 out of 5 stars A Return to Form, Almost--And The Truth About Mac's Real Name July 26, 2012

By YetAnotherJames

Format:DVD

Like many fans, I was disappointed with Season Six--especially the first few episodes. Season Seven, however, brings the gang back to the simple banter that made them so funny in the first place. Sure, there is still the occasional slow episode--"Frank's Brother," for instance, which is told through so many flashbacks that it loses the "Sunny" feel--but overall, the quality control is strong this season. "The Gang Goes To The Jersey Shore" is laugh-out-loud funny in the same ways that some of Season Two's best episodes were funny, and "Frank's Pretty Woman" lets this season come out swinging with vulgarity ("She's a good hoo-er") and taboo subject matter. Another great offering from this season is--and I won't ruin it--the disclosure of Mac's real name. It's a payoff that was well worth the wait.

In Season Seven, the writers made a concerted effort--even more so than in season six--to "call back" to characters and situations from previous seasons. The results were mixed. On the plus side, the out-of-shape actor who posed as Donovan McNabb in season three, for example, hilariously reappears as "Tiger Woods," and "Schmitty" makes a grand, albeit five-second, cameo to end the season.

These "call backs" did occasionally fall flat, however. In "The High School Reunion," Brad Fisher discusses the hornet scars on his face and leaves the viewers waiting for a confrontation between him and Charlie. It never happens. The writers crammed in so many references to the show's previous episodes that, at times, it seems like a burdened wink to the audience. In fact, when Frank hijacks a tourist boat in "Thunder Gun Express," he muses nostalgically about his--and presumably, some of the viewers'--favorite Sunny memories over the PA system. The scene works, but it also once again drives home the point that the show's glory days may be past. Occasionally disappointing but more often great, season seven is a notch above season six--and may be as good as the show gets from now on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Start to the Season September 23, 2011

This was a fantastic start to the season. Both my friend and I watched it together and we laughed the whole time. The part with the fake blood packets is priceless. I'm super excited to see the rest of the season.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Always Sunny is Back! September 17, 2011

By Dane Adam Orion Vick

Amazon Verified Purchase

This episode has the gang doing exactly what they do best: be depraved, gross, getting into ridiculous hi-jinx, the return of crack for Dee and her brother, drunkenness, Mac's persistent belief in his super strength and best of all, spraying blood, which was good for Shakespeare and is great for this episode too.

You will not be disappointed getting this episode for $1.99. If you are a Sunny fan, then this is right up your alley.
