Pros

  • It’s honestly amazing for a show to go from nearly cancelled, to bringing in Danny DeVito, and is nearing 18 seasons now. All while becoming an anti-sitcom that is definitely not an awards favorite and has garnered a large cult following.
  • Come to think of it if you want another comedy episode about human meat: the It’s always sunny in Philadelphia episode Mac and Dennis Manhunters is hilarious.
  • And it actually managed to be genuinely emotional. It's been the least serious show for a long time but with "Mac Finds His Pride," The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain," and this they've managed to actually insert some actual emotion...
  • Every season has episodes that prove this show is still the best at what they do. Sure, the newer seasons have a couple to few stinker episodes but for the most part they’re so damn consistent.
  • I haven't seen episode 4 yet, but 3 is my favorite episode in years. Felt like a wild ride just like the old days.

Cons

  • Parent context: Take this news with a grain of "Danny clearly had a minimized role in the past season because he's so goddamn old." There was an episode with him in a coma and it's not even Danny for most of the runtime. I loved the show...
  • The show felt a little too self aware during the last few seasons. It was still enjoyable, but something has definitely switched with this new season; it feels more fleshed out.
  • Don’t expect anything like this. This is one of maybe two emotional scenes in 16 seasons.

Parent context: Take this news with a grain of "Danny clearly had a minimized role in the past season because he's so goddamn old." There was an episode with him in a coma and it's not even Danny for most of the runtime. I loved the show before Danny, I'll love the show after Danny, but we're in rough days here. Reply: I mean you say that but the finale was 80% Devito. The rest of the gang has one scene in the bar and then one at the end. Even the episodes before this which were Devito light he still had quite a few scenes

And it actually managed to be genuinely emotional. It's been the least serious show for a long time but with "Mac Finds His Pride," The Gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain," and this they've managed to actually insert some actual emotionally moving moments late in the series when there were zero early on.

Episode 3 and 4 of season 17 might be some of the funniest episodes they have ever written, and would not feel out of place during peak Sunny.

the fact that this show remains so consistent is nothing short of incredible.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia. This is my favourite show. But it will take a few episodes to really see what it's about.
