My new favorite comedy

written by: Wes Sinor | Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | Uncategorized

After browsing around Hulu.com, a Web site created by NBC and FOX that streams TV shows and movies for free, I discovered the site has almost every single episode of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I realize this show has been on the air since 2005, but I never caught one episode until about a month ago. I decided to check out the pilot episode and have been hooked ever since.

I am now watching all the episodes in order on Hulu - one or two per day. I’m somewhere in the middle of the third season right now, and this is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I’ve been living under quite a large rock for the past three years.

Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee and Frank are the main characters. They own an unpopular bar in Philadelphia and get into the most ridiculous situations imaginable. They join an underground fighting club, go on welfare for the fun of it, try to make money off a dumpster baby they found by putting it in commercials, run for office, date transsexuals and set each other on fire. The show has no boundaries.

Most of my favorite episodes are from season two - “Mac Bangs Dennis’ Mom,” “Hundred Dollar Baby” and “The Gang Gives Back” are pure gold.

It might even be better than The Office, which I used to claim was my favorite comedy. For some reason I think the current season of The Office has been a bit of a disappointment - not quite up to par of say, seasons two or three.

Anyway, I’ve been getting some of my friends into the show lately, and I’m surprised that more people don’t watch the show.

I’m about to go watch one, so I’ll leave you with a pretty good clip to get you going:
