I've never watched any shows regularly on FX until this year, when I happened to catch a double episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, about 3 episodes into Season 2. I don't remember when I've laughed so hard in the past few years. This show is hysterical! Charlie Day, what can I say? I dare say he is the funniest character on television. Case in point, the episode: Hundred Dollar Baby.

The gang's walking home in the evening (Charlie, Mac, Dennis and Dee) when an apparent Meth Head tries to mug them. Charlie Mac and Dennis all run away, knocking down Dee to fend for herself (intentionally or non-intentionally? You decide.).

Dee gets mugged and decides she's going to take some kind of "box-er-cizing" thing to learn how to defend herself, but her dad Frank, played by Danny DeVito, pipes up and says if she wants to learn to defend herself she should learn from him, being that he's a former boxer ("Frankie Fast Hands"). She agrees.

In the meantime, Dennis and Mac convince Charlie to become an underground street fighter after attending one and realizing that "All you really need is to be able to take a worse beating than the other guy." Mac asks Dennis "You know who can take a beating?" And they both instantly turn to each other and say "CHARLIE."

What's great about Charlie is that he's usually up for anything as long as there's money or excitement in it, and this is no exception.

Back to Dee - at the gym she's approached by another woman who offers her some assistance in the form of so-called "Performance Enhancing Supplements." Dee's now popping pills, which Charlie sees while accidentally catching her (she doesn't know he saw her), and now Charlie is popping her pills.

I refuse to spoil the rest, but rest assured that this is one of the funniest things you will see this year, and the rest of the series is no exception.

I have yet to see an un-funny character on this show, but Charlie steals the show almost every time. Charlie Day is comedy GOLD!

If you are a fan of It's always sunny in Philadelphia, you will love this. The third season is even better than the first two! You will be laughing your head off the whole time, you might not even have a time to catch your breath! I definately reccomend it, it is the funniest show on tv, period. You wont regret this purchase, I know I didnt!

This show is by far the funniest thing on tv right now. The characters and storylines leave nothing to be desired. I would not recommend this show to someone who is easily offended though. If you like Seinfeld, Arrested Developement and Curb Your Enthusiasm, then you are going to love Sunny. The way the characters play off eachother and the situations they get into are completely reinventing the sitcom. They are generally awful people but somehow still realistic. This is definately in my top ten.

I've watched this show for both seasons an seen every episode. It is by far one of the funniest shows ever. Its more politically incorrect than "the office" and hilarious to watch.

This has got to be the funniest, most warped show on cable today. It's the ultimate show about nothing - a group of morally-deficient 20-somethings who own an Irish pub in Philadelphia. They care about nothing but outdoing each other for attention and money. They constantly argue over the dumbest things and come from families more dysfunctional than anyone can imagine.

To give you an idea of the show's themes: there are episodes that revolve around one of the characters trolling for dates at an abortion rally; another in which the gang tries to outdo each other by pretending to be crippled, just to see who can get the most attention and sympathy from strangers; and an episode in which the gang charges people to view a "vision" of the Virgin Mary (actually a water stain in the bar). The dialogue is made up of all the things people are thinking but won't say. No tender or sappy moments here, these are episodes you would NEVER see on the Hallmark Channel or Lifetime.

One of the most unique comedies on tv, and by far one of the best. I look forward to many more new seasons of "It's Always Sunny..." and am hopeful it does not lose its edge or pursue milktoast or nonoffensive story lines.
