    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.

    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.

    Pretty much the same as what I said about the previous 4 seasons. I love watching this show and it has yet to get old for me. I cant wait to start the next season.… Expand

    Always Sunny remains my favorite show on television. But this season is letting me down, it seems as though the writing process is becoming more rushed, and they are given less time to revise the real jokes, or gags in this season thus far. Season 4 is better than this season so far. Also, whats up with the product placement this season?? Seems to me these jokes aren't landing as good as Seasons 1-3 did. I feel like the ending to Mortgage Crisis didn't make sense, and was a subpar ending at best. Still love the hell out of this show, they just need to step it up some more.… Expand
