Dennis, Mac, Charlie, Sweet Dee and Frank may not have one moral compass between them, but at least they have each other. That is, when they’re not fighting like children, setting Dee on fire and accusing Mac of murder. It’s not all fun and games though. Before the end of the season, the gang promises to solve the North Korea “situation.” Oh, good. We were wondering who was going to tackle that one…
Who’s that?: The gang is all still here, though we’re not quite sure how Frank (Danny DeVito) fits into the picture these days (whose father is he, anyways?). The incestuous McPoyle Brothers and their deaf mute sister introduce us to the rest of the McPoyle clan of circus freaks, and you won’t believe how many of them you can fit in one RV. And Charlie’s unrequited love, The Waitress, also returns. She has officially slept with everyone but him.
Buzzed about: DeVito’s limoncello-fueled plugs for “Sunny” aren’t only fitting, they get the job done. He’s brought star power and just enough scandal to pique interest in this under-the-radar gem.
The “ooh” factor: Eager to fully reference the titular town in every episode, the gang all tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles this season—just like that movie with “the guy from New Kids on the Block.”
The “eh” factor: Are we the only ones tuning in religiously? Despite the hilarious ads, excessive MySpace promotions and general awesomeness, “Sunny” gets little love from mainstream media and the folks at the watercooler. DeVito’s championing of the show can only keep it going for so long.
The verdict: Watching this show will not make you a better person. It might actually buy you a one-way ticket to hell. But at least you’ll die laughing.
Season three of ”It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” premieres Thursday, Sept. 13 at 10 p.m./9c on FX.
