78. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 4

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia follows the everyday lives of "The Gang", Dennis, Charlie, Mac, Dee and Frank. Together, they own and run Paddy's Pub which is generally considered to be one of the worst pubs in Philadelphia and, as such, is almost always empty. These aren't 5 ordinary people though. These are 5 utter lunatics. The fact that they're mental makes the show so much fun to watch.

The best thing about this show is that you can pretty much start watching at any point and not really feel too lost. Season 4 is no different really. This one is 13 episodes spread over 3 discs. It gets off to a fast start with Mac and Dennis: Manhunters. This episode finds Mac and Dennis deciding to try hunting another human while Dee and Charlie get hooked on a mystery meat that they think might be human. Yeeeeah, that pretty much sums up the tone of the show. Essentially, it's like Seinfeld with sociopaths.

If you've got a bit of a twisted sense of humor, It's Always Sunny is perfect for you. But then, if you've got that sense of humor, you've probably been watching this all along haven't you?
