‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ turns four
September 18, 2008 at 3:22 pm by Debbie Michaud in A&E“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” the FX series that follows a selfish scheming fivesome, returns for its fourth season tonight.
The warped squad of frenemies also known as “the gang” includes Frank (Danny DeVito), brother and sister duo Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Dennis (Glenn Howerton), and childhood friends Charlie (Charlie Day) and Mac (Rob McElhenney). They all “work” at Paddy’s, a shabby Irish pub in Philly co-owned by Frank and Charlie.
Each member of the gang is shamelessly self-absorbed, and the plot lines revolve around get-rich-quick plans or general ways to make their lives easier: Dennis and Dee get hooked on crack and feign mental retardation so that they can collect welfare; Frank runs an Asian gambling ring in Paddy’s basement; they find a dumpster baby and try to turn it into a child star.
“Sunny’s” website doesn’t give away much about the new season, but I’m hoping for more of the naughty, drug-fueled, incestuous hijinks that made the first three seasons so special.
In honor of the upcoming election, here’s Charlie’s America song:
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on FX.

This is absolutely the best show on TV right now. I have idea how it stays on the air, but it’s awesome.
