The other day I caught this episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and it made me question why I don't watch this show regularly. I know those who do watch it will tell me this episode is old news but I still have to post this for latecomers like myself because there's some gems in it. I particularly cracked up when they talk about what a British noble looks like compared to a colonist. Enjoy!

I've noticed that on other ppl's blogs too! I have no idea why that happens but it makes me very sad. I better start to investigate this further, because it is only on certain blogrolls.
I thought the first season was the best, but I have to say my favorite part of the show is the opening credits - those street shots of Philly with that bright, romantic music just puts me in a great mood. Reminds me of the feel of the Mary Tyler Moore show, has that slightly retro, very upbeat feeling.
@Tulip: I agree to a point about the sexist thing. Also, over time it has degenerated into a sort of caricature of itself. BUT, if I could pick my own life theme music, it would be the credit tune for this show. Note on the sexist part: I watched an interview about the producers/writers. They were so ill prepared to develop the female character that on her first audition they had her read a scene that was originally between two of the male characters, changing the name to the female character name so she wouldn't be wise to it too soon. I think knowing that about them really supports your perspective.
I would just like to say that I am not receiving your blog updates.
ReplyDeleteYour blog stays always at the bottom of my blogroll list.
Is this happening to others or just me?

ReplyDeleteI love this show! I got a kick out of this episode also, too funny. These characters are mental but, hey, they make me laugh...

ReplyDeleteIt crashed my computer--the episode is unavailable.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch this show because I find it sexist (the woman in it is often punched out) but yes, parts are funny.
