5.0 out of 5 stars It put the christmas spirit up inside me., November 24, 2009

By	Laura Niles "story1357" (Las Vegas,NV 89121) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas" is refreshing to say the least. It is both wicked and heartwarming, allowing the actors to showcase more depth of character then they are usually allowed.
This Christmas special did not make me laugh until the second time I watched it. The first time, I just sat -wowed by the wrongness of the gang's holiday traditions. A must see for fans of this off color show. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas" could even win some new fans. Gather the family, grab your eggnog and prepare for a blast of Holiday Cheer in your face!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Blu, only one extra is worth the time, November 16, 2009

By	Steve Kuehl "SLV Video" (Ben Lomond, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

One of the selections on the main menu is an introduction for the Blu Ray. It is two of the guys reminding everyone that this is not a BD because their show is not filmed in HD. They close the intro with a thanks for buying the DVD instead. Nice.

The episode was only mildly funny and I watch all of their shows. The amount of full frontal and rear of Devito, coupled with the amount of animated blood flowing makes for an R rated feature in only 43 minutes, though it felt more like a South Park episode than an IASIP piece. The supplements include:

* Young Charlie & Young Mac Deleted Scenes. These kids were actually pretty funny - better than the episode here.
* Behind the scenes Making of. Lasts a few minutes and covers nothing interesting.
* Sunny Sing-A-Long. The crew making a video that looks like they were on a high of some kind.

The picture quality is one of the worst I have seen on a Blu. The DTS is actually shallow and never gets utilized except for the car driving up to the bar. Lowest common denominator with the sight gags this time (which to me their appeal has been better than that in past episodes). Two stars for a few laughs and nothing else.

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH the money. ****ing hilarious!, November 16, 2009

There are two scenes in this episode that had me on the floor, in tears, laughing my rear end off! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.
Will definitely be watching this again on Christmas Day! LOL

PS:
In regards to the dvd vs. blu-ray for this particular release: IMO, if you have a blu-ray player, you might as well get it for the $3 extra (or whatever the difference is). There is a *mild* improvement in *some* scenes. But, you won't be missing out if you get the dvd version. Either way, blu or dvd, this is a must. I've watched EVERY episode of It's always sunny, and this is one of the best (near the end when frank's start explaining something (not giving away anything), there's about 90 seconds that are sort of like "where'd that come from" - but even that has a couple of moments that are pretty funny.
