Critic Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - Ken Tucker

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

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

This show is absolutely amazing! The unique indie feel and the crazy characters fit perfectly. Although some things do get a bit stupid most of the jokes are just stupid and offensive enough to work. I love the reoccurring guest stars, especially Cricket and Artemis. All together a great This show is absolutely amazing! The unique indie feel and the crazy characters fit perfectly.

In this politically correct day an age in which network executives constantly fear offending people it is truly refreshing to watch a comedy series that plays by its own rules.

Much like The Simpsons each episode is almost virtually self contained and regardless of what happens everything is always back to normal by the following installment. This allows the writers freedom to put the characters in pretty much any situation they wish (up to and including becoming kidnappers and hunting a homeless person) and while this of course means not every gag completely hits the mark the fast pace and excellent performances of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia ensures there are plenty of laughs.

The best season yet.… Expand

Absolutely hilarious. The episodes are extremely well drawn out if you pay close enough attention. "The Gang" is able to base some of their themes on controversial issue in an almost unbiased manner. Almost. The one downside is that they continuously talk at the same time in an inane babble Absolutely hilarious. The episodes are extremely well drawn out if you pay close enough attention. "The Gang" is able to base some of their themes on controversial issue in an almost unbiased manner. Almost. The one downside is that they continuously talk at the same time in an inane babble every 5 minutes.… Expand

I'm really hoping that this show is improvised, because if the material on this show is actually scripted, wow. Just wow. Just a note: The S word isn't a punchline by itself. I gave it 1 point because I appreciate DeVito. He's funny, just not here.
