If Seinfeld was a show about nothing, then It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a show about five jackasses who can turn nothing into something ridiculous. I don’t care what the starting point of the episode is, by the time they reach the end it is so ridiculous that I don’t even care. I’m just […]
“I’ve been informed that our failure to deliver any usable results is unacceptable.” — Special Agent Broyles This really has grown into a wonderful little show.
