Its Always Sunny in Philidelphia

Within the last 10 to 15 years television programs have morphed the humor for the future of television. With shows like South Park, The Chappelle Show, Family Guy, and many more, it is hard for one to argue that what Americans find funny today, most would be offended by no less than twenty years ago. The FCC used to shut down Elvis Presely shows back in the 50's and he was just a hungry guy dancing around in funny costumes singing completely harmless songs. We can thank shows like south park for changing what is funny, and making things that aren't suppose to be funny hilarious. However, the funniest show on the air today would have to be "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia", Created by Rob McElhenney.

Rob McElhenney also plays one of the main characters on the show as well, attributing to a lot of the shows success. McElhenney plays as Mac, a semi white trash co-owner of "Paddys Bar" in Philadelphia. He owns the bar with his friends Dennis(Glenn Howerton) and Dee Renolds(Kaitilin Olson) and Frank(Danny Devito), who is also more like a father to all the characters. These four characters are their lives are the main focus of this show.

The bar is run mostly by Dee, often referred to as "Sweet" Dee and Charlie, the bar janitor and modern day village idiot. While the bar is being run by Dee and Charlie, Co-owners Mac, Dennis, and Frank are usually finding ways to make their lives either as awkward or as miserable as ever. It is considered by many as extremely controversially. With a casual flow of crude references of alcohol, drugs, sex, violence, and overall foolish and mostly illegal behavior, Its Always Sunny became an instant hit in the morphed market of sitcom television. Over the last five years the show continually gets funnier. It also is pushing the envelope for the future of TV, in regards to what is and isn't funny.

Another reason to watch the show now is because soon it will be on all of the time. On July 15, 2008, it was reported that FX has ordered 39 additional episodes of the series which means that the show will run until at least a seventh season. All remaining seasons will consist of 13 episodes. All five main cast members were secured for the entire scheduled run. The fifth season premiered on September 17, 2009. Beginning in 2010, comedy central will be airing reruns of this show as well.
