It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia is pretty goshdarntootin good.

Not to oversell it, but this show is one of the best I've seen in a few years. More so than Curb Your Enthusiasm this show picks up the torch where the Seinfeld series left off. It is a bit more "random" than that series but it serves the ADD generation well.

I watch it with little commercial interruption, thank god, on hulu.com.

I've watched most of the last two seasons during "downtime" and I can't speak enough to how very awesome, in only the way a non-laughtracked American sitcom can be, this series is.

Check it out if you haven't yet. I should have payed attention to all the critics who were praising this in years past. Did I mention Danny Fucking DeVito is in this series! How awesome is that. I had to watch Cheers as a youth and this series does a better job of showing off that little man's comedic chops better than most of his work. Here's another blast from the 80's past. Fucking FRED SAVAGE is one of the producers. Unless he has a really bad sense of personal branding, this Fred Savage is THE Fred Savage from The Wonder Years. And if you don't know what Cheers or The Wonder Years are please go somewhere else and stop making me feel so old.
