hands down my favorite tv show of all time. i always looked at
iasip thinking it was just one of those shows trying to be edgy
for no reason, and thats what kept away from watching it, but its
also what always piqued my interest, because what if is not that?
everywhere i looked (imdb, rotten tomatoes, etc) it was always
with one of the best scores for tv shows ever, and thats while
having 16 seasons. so, one day i found out that iasip was actually
in one streaming service that i had, and thats when i decided to
go for it. as you can probably tell, it was a great decision. for
me, iasip mastered comedy in a way no other show ever could. yes,
it had that edgy humor, but it was not like you were supposed to
agree with what the main characters of the show were doing or
saying, quite the opposite actually, because like the creators of
the show (which are 3 of the main characters) always made it
clear, its always sunny in philadelphia is a show about horrible
people. when charlie, gleen and rob (the creators of the show)
came up with the idea for the show, their intention was to create
an "anti-friends", a show that was not going to follow that dated
sitcom formula of a group of friends that love each other and
youre supposed to root for, in fact, it was going to do the
opposite. and for me, they nailed it perfectly. its always sunny
in philadelphia brings out a comedy that can range from tackling
social and political issues (without being corny like one day at a
time, for example) to dumb comedy while actually being funny like
its supposed to be. for me, iasip mastered comedy in a way no
other show ever could. despite being 16 seasons long thous far,
iasip never reached a point like many shows that go this far reach
where you think "it should have ended 2 season ago, now it makes
no sense" (for example: the office after steve carell left,
supernatural after season 5, etc), of course, they had their
"golden age" (season 2-10, in my opinion), but it never reached a point
where it was bad and made do sense to continue with the show. its
always sunny in philadelphia is, for me, comedy how comedy should be made.
