 Editor's Note
 Philadelphia is known as "The City of Brotherly Love," but the town may soon be famous for its bad behavior thanks to this mean-spirited comedy. Not for the easily offended, IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY--as the kids call it--is one dark sitcom. Still, it garners critical praise and loyal fans with its smart writing. Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, and Kaitlin Olson star as friends who run Paddy's Irish Pub. Fueled by alcohol, vanity, and selfishness, the foursome has a series of misadventures as high on the laugh scale as they are in their cringe quotient. Though most sitcoms don't joke about crack addiction, abortion, and racism, IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA turns these subjects into comedy goldmines. Season 3 in particular counts a dumpster baby, a dead mom, Fatty McGoo, the aluminum monster, a registered sex offender, serial killers, a retarded person, fire, and bums--lots and lots of bums--among its guest stars. Last season, veteran actor Danny DeVito returned to TV to play a misanthropic patriarch and, yes, he's still around. This release includes the entire third season, plus an intimate look at the possibly incestuous McPoyle Brothers, a gag reel, and a number of other supplemental features.

| | Professional Reviews | Variety 7 of 10 There's nothing particularly distinctive about the premise, with three idiot buddies and one's sister running a Philly bar. Grafting on DeVito as the father of Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) was a let's-give-it-some-star-appeal procedure that didn't take, mostly because having an actual adult hanging around (even if he acts like they do) feels incongruous in this world of youthful stupidity and self-absorption...Mac (Rob McElhenney) is hiding the fact that he's dating a transsexual, and his peculiar behavior inspires the gang to suspect he's responsible for a string of serial murders. (For ostensible friends, it's remarkable what these guys will immediately believe about, and do to, each other.)...Meanwhile, pal Charlie (Charlie Day) has become obsessed with "Law & Order" reruns, convincing him that he can handle Mac's problem, while Dennis and Dee plot a sting operation to catch the actual killer..."Sunny's" pilot was famously shot on a shoestring, and the show still adheres to those values, shooting episodes in bunches to save money. As the run has progressed, however, the dialogue has become louder and less clever, although a last-act gag here spoofing a certain insufferable NBC News program by itself makes this episode worth the price of watching, downloading or whatever...Despite its flaws, the series invariably has moments, and it's difficult not to root for any promising comedy given the difficulties plaguing the genre...Still, the show's freshness factor evaporated with surprising alacrity, suggesting this might be one of those instances where the British TV model would have proved helpful -- that is, simply allowing the "Sunny" guys to make like auteurs by producing a dozen episodes or so before riding off into the sunset. - Brian Lowry
