Slant Magazine Jonathan Keefe
As in the show's third-season creative peak, the attention to continuity and timely plot devices is well balanced by the focus on character and actual comedy. |

Entertainment Weekly Clark Collis
The result is stupid, deranged, and fairly disgusting, none of which should be taken as criticism. |

Comics have been doing this sort of thing on TV since I Love Lucy and The Jackie Gleason Show in the '50s, but never with the hilarious depravity of Sunny. |

Season 5 brings more of the same, but the characters are so well delineated and the performances are so solid that more of the same is a good thing. |

Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray
It's Always Sunny is still very much It's Always Sunny, which should be good news to its many fans, especially those who may not long, as I do, for just a bit more subtlety now and then. But, hey, it's OK. DeVito and the rest are totally committed to everything they do, no matter how absurd, and more often than not, they manage to sell it. |

TV Guide Matt Roush
If your taste runs toward the appallingly crass, then you’ll probably want to end the night with a new season of the incorrigibly amusing It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. |
