Entertainment Weekly Ken Tucker

As usual, the improvised feel of the show adds to its energy.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

Not all of the show’s demented comic gambits work, but Sunny gets points for inventiveness, and all things considered, the show is far more consistently entertaining than it was in its first couple of seasons.

Salon Heather Havrilesky

Somehow, this ridiculous show manages to entertain us without any semblance of character development or the remotest whiff of a familiar, relatable scenario.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

At some point, the gang on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will no longer be able to top itself, no longer do or say things that are even more wrong than the last thing they said or did. It hasn't happened yet.

Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray

Thank goodness for Danny DeVito, whose total commitment to this insanity often makes the unbelievable just believable enough to be funny.

Together with 30-rock, it's always sunny in Philadelphia is the best comedy currently on the air.

Its hands down the best sitcom on TV! i love each cast member, and what they bring to the show! and DeVito is great!

Elgin W. gave it a10:
Everytime I watch Sunny I'm always amazed at what new schemes they come up with and everytime I die laughing.

Mike J gave it a10:
easiest in the top 2-3 best shows on, two of the best tv moments were when Alvin was Donavan McNabb and Charlie was an oil man.

Nick M gave it a1:
This show is awful!!! The overlapping dialogue accompanied by terrible timing and acting make this show painful to watch. Its improv-style acting at its worst. Edgy, are you kidding me?? Stupidity and poop jokes aren't edgy, nor offensive. They try way to hard to make me laugh and end up pissing me off. Anyone who enjoys this show is a moron and has a terrible sense of humor.

this is exhibit a of how fake the emmys are. not a single nomination for this show is a crime. keep in mind monk has been nominated for best comedy. the gang solves the gas crisis and mac and Charlie are killed should both be considered for nomination.

Deniz Y. gave it a10:
I had low hopes for Season 4 because many episodes from Season 3 were just okay or duds in my opinion. But they really make you bust out laughing like in the first Season. Patrick G is 100% right on the money, and I couldn't stop laughing at the end of The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis. Wild card bitches! Yeeeha!!
