Posted on December 3, 2010 by Nat Almirall

I never would have thought that I’d see Tom Sizemore make a cameo in Sunny, but he seems like a perfect fit among The Gang, playing Byron, the married trucker with a penchant for male prostitutes (“Treat me like a mailbox: … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats’

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Nat Almirall

It’s now safe to say that Sunny has reached that stage of confidence in their characters that a show like Eastbound & Down has (or maybe I’m looking for a substitute now that that season has ended…withdrawals?). They’re different shows, of course, … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth’

Posted on November 12, 2010 by Nat Almirall

The amazing thing is that the further anyone distances themselves from The Gang, the more like an actual human being they appear. Dee seems to be, sort of, doing pretty well as a substitute drama teacher, despite her own glaring … Continue reading →

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Nat Almirall

The group has existed in their own isolation for so long, it makes you wonder why they would often go so far out of their way to exclude Dee from any of the activities, since it’s not likely that they’d … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Who Got Dee Pregnant?’

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Nat Almirall

Ah the Halloween special, long-honored tradition among sitcoms, when everyone—writers, directors, actors—can go hog wild and abandon the show’s official canon, tossing them into movie parody, having the cast pursue some horrific monster, or even killing them altogether.

TV RECAP: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Mac’s Mom Burns Her House Down’

Posted on October 22, 2010 by Nat Almirall

One of the gags in Sunny that’s always impressed me (mainly for the fact that it seems so obvious, but I’ve never seen anyone else do it) is making a joke out of the title: There’s a cold open, some back-and-forths … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Mac and Charlie: White Trash’

Posted on October 15, 2010 by Nat Almirall

I’ve never thought much about the class dynamic of the Gang—Dee and Dennis representing the upper crust of society and Mac and Charlie bringing up the dregs. God knows where Frank fits in. How did they all join up and … Continue reading →
