TV. its always sunny in philadelphia

i cant remember why i decided to give this show a shot. it was probably because its summer and there arent that many new episodes of my favorite shows. maybe i felt compelled to watch it after i heard how it came into being (a bunch of friends got together and made a pilot and brought it to the president of the fx channel, and he liked it so much he bought it and have them a quarter million to make a whole season. how cool is that?).
im not sure why, but im glad i did give it a try. this show is hilarious! its about three guys, a sister and dad, and all the crazy situations they get themselves in. now, i should warn you, this show is not for the faint of heart. they drop swear words like its going out of style, and the decisions they make are very bad and stupid.
what makes it funny though is that they go for it. if the characters come up with an idea, no matter how bad it is, they justify it and do it. for example: they want to get free money on wellfare, so they decide to become crack addicts. or, they pretend to be disabled to try and get chicks. absurd stuff, but thats part of the fun. also, no matter how much trouble they get into, the next episode has them all back to normal, cartoon style!
the actors are great too. the three friends are so mean with each other, they are actually more like brothers who like to annoy each other, actually. and some how they actually got danny da vito to play the father!
if you dont mind being offended, this show is really funny.

ps. dordt people: doesnt the guy on the far left totally look like ben visser?
