This week’s episode picks up where last week left off—in Dennis’ apartment, where he’s deep in the throes of connubial misery with his impromptu wife, the bad-breathed, dead-toothed, crazy-cat-heads-glued-to-her-sweatshirts Maureen Ponderosa (who doesn’t look half-bad on her side and in a T-shirt).

Dennis is trying desperately to get to work (that’s an odd sentence) while his new bride coos at him to come cuddle (and I love the subtle implication in his automated response “There’s cab fare on the table”). As it turns out, Maureen doesn’t have a job, another check on the ever-growing list of her annoyances, which is just about to send Dennis over the edge.

Back at Paddy’s, where Mac has taken up residence after getting thrown out of Dennis’ apartment, Frank and Charlie are going over their own marriage, namely what Charlie brings to the table, which is, as Frank puts it, “diddly-squat.” Makes sense. And Sweet Dee’s reeling from her new car, purchased by her current infatuated conquest, Dennis’ brother-in-law, Bill Ponderosa.

If you haven’t been keeping up, we’ve been having a very Sunny week as we bring you interviews with the cast of FX’s raunchiest comedy as the show enters its sixth season. Now, we have a bit of a good news/bad news situation.

The bad news is that today is our last interview for the show. The good news is that it’s with comedic legend of film and TV Danny DeVito. Danny joined the project a few seasons back, and ever since, he’s been on an on-screen downward spiral of humanity, and it couldn’t been funnier.

While this brings his career full-circle from working on Taxi decades ago, we also had to ask him of his thoughts on ever playing The Penguin again.

Take a look at what he had to say after the jump, and catch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia every Thursday night on FX.

It’s been a Sunny fest all week long. Tuesday, we spoke with the now very pregnant Kaitlin Olson on working her new bundle of joy into the show. Yesterday, Charlie Day discussed how the gang is planning to kick him out this season, and now we come to Glenn Howerton, one of the ringleaders of It’s Always Sunny, to give us some more insight on this season.

Glenn, along with Charlie and Rob McElhenney (Mac) created the show back in 2005 and have only grown bigger and more raunchy since it’s launch. In later seasons, Danny DeVito joined the cast as Glenn and Kaitlin’s on-screen father, who has gone through his own downward spiral since his first appearance on the show.

Now, in it’s sixth season on FX, Sunny is being taken to new and untraveled territories, as the gang finally goes outside of the greater Philadelphia area this season, to “somewhere in Jersey.”

We got to speak with Glenn about the episode, among other things to expect from the coming episodes. Check out the interview after the jump, and catch a new It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia every Thursday night on FX.

Yesterday, we brought you an exclusive chat with Kaitlin Olson, one of the stars of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which is currently in its sixth season on FX. She informed us of a crucial plotline in the coming season, as Sweet Dee is actually getting pregnant on the show. Now, Charlie Day is dropping another bomb on us.

In an interview, Day announced that he will be kicked out of the gang this season, leaving us one man short of a “Philly Gang” for at least one episode. As most who have seen this season’s premiere know, episodes this season will actually string together, rather than the single-serving episodes that we’ve been accustomed to.

Check out our full interview with Charlie after the jump, and be sure to catch more interviews with the cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia all week long. Catch a new episode of the show every Thursday night on FX.

Last week, FX premiered it’s impressive sixth season of their irreverent comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia to an awesome start. A few characters got married, some got beat up, and one even got…pregnant?

Well, that’s what we know behind the scenes, as star Kaitlin Olson went and got super pregnant during the break, and now the team is looking at how to work her obvious oncoming bundle of joy into the season.

We got the chance to speak with Kaitlin back in San Diego about how they plan on working her pregnancy into the upcoming season in what she calls a “Who done it” episode. Be sure to check in all week for more upcoming interviews with the rest of the cast, and catch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia every Thursday on FX.

Welcome back, Sunny! Good to see your smiling faces once more, and it looks like you managed to handle the interim pretty well. No new scars, shaved beards, dyed hair (or, in the case of Charlie Day and Danny DeVito, neatly combed follicles). The only difference is Kaitlin Olson’s pregnancy (which I understand will become the basis for a future episode…but I’m getting ahead of myself).

Season…umm…we’re up to six already? Wow. Season six opens with “Mac Fights Gay Marriage” (for those of you too lazy to read the title of this article) wherein wannabe bodybuilder Mac, trying to pass himself off as Dennis to get free gym access, discovers that his former “lover” The Tranny has finally gotten her sex-change operation. Excited at the prospect of consummating their “relationship,” Mac’s libido-broken to also discover that s/he’s likewise gotten married.

Back at the bar, Mac relates his disgust at the union to the rest of the nonplussed gang and proclaims that it’s unnatural and wrong, seeing as how The Tranny used to be a man, and in some logically twisted sense, that goes against God (this sort of grey area would make for neat subplot in a Curb Your Enthusiasm). The gang usefully points out the irony in Mac’s disgust since he was dating The Tranny back when s/he was a man, but the observation goes over his head, and he launches a half-assed all-out campaign against gay marriage.

A few years back, when FX decided they wanted to branch out into comedy, they put out two shows. One was about a group of people with different eating disorders and how they were dealing in comedic ways called Starved. The other, which seemed pretty low budget, was about a group of no-good residents of the Philadelphia area who constantly get themselves into self-inflicted situations that mock things like race, gender, abortion, and all things “taboo”. Needless to say, the latter show made it past the first season.

The show struggled in it’s second season, before veteran actor Danny DeVito decided to come on as producer and co-star. Now the show is bigger than ever, selling out panels at Comic-Con and entering their fifth successful season later this month. A new clip has popped up online, highlighting season five, but more importantly, a naked DeVito.

Check out the blooper of a leather couch giving birth to a naked Danny DeVito after the jump, and enjoy the next season of It’s Always Sunny next Thursday, September 10, on the FX Network.
