Don’t read this if you ain’t seen the new episode!

This seems a huge tonal change for the show. I liked it. Surprised he’s back so fast, and Kaling had a lot of room to grow.

I was kind of down on it but the last five minutes saved it. Mac's constant body jokes fell a little flat and Mindy Kaling has never been funny to me but the new tuba and the surprise at the end saved the day.

Not spoiling this since it's been in all the previews but that doll is amazingly lifelike. Creepy as poo poo.

It's weird how this show isn't available at all in mainland Europe. You'd think that something that has been going on for 12 seasons would get some worldwide attention, but nothing except regional blocks. Shameful.

yea FXX or whoever could at least sell distribution rights to one of the streaming providers

like, Handmaid's Tale is a Hulu show, but here it's distributed by HBO Nordic. Hulu isn't a thing in Scandinavia, but HBO is -- makes sense right?

Just watched with a few friends and we all had some good laughs. More than S12 so far.

Then watched "Mac Day" right after... Mac and Dennis are wearing the same shirts in season 9. Weirdly crazy coincidence, aside from Dennis' sleevelessness.

I want to say it was a weird and somewhat off putting episode but hey I think every new sunny season starts with us long time fans going "ehhhh I don't know..." so just wait and see I guess.

the show blowing the Dennis load so quickly, especially given that the entire episode dealt with Dennis' lingering psychological influence, felt kind of like a sticky mess. I would have appreciated a 2-3 episode arc that actually shows how the gang and the waitress are recovering some of their own sense of identity. There were a few nice moments, like Charlie being nice to Dee, I wish they would have built up on that just so that pulling the rug out from under us by bringing back flesh-dennis would have been more effective.

Just watched the new episode. It was like a fever dream. Not a complaint, I loved it, but it really does seem like something you'd dream if you had binged a lot of Always Sunny while sick and then took a bunch of NyQuil and passed out.

I also got the vibe they will have season long story arcs this year.

The only negative I had was the directing or editing seemed to be a bit off. Everything seemed a bit too scripted. It looked a little too clean, if that makes sense. But it was funny as hell.

Completely agree with this, it didn't feel organic at all, it was very odd. I almost felt like it was a prank on the viewer that they had done on purpose.

It felt very rushed. I thought it was really funny, but the rhythm was off. I think it's because the editing was more traditional. The editing on Always Sunny has always been sloppy and that's part of the charm for me. This seemed a lot different. Like it was directed and edited like there should have been a live studio audience. Lots of quick cuts to someone saying a line as opposed to letting it play out more organically, like you said.

It felt off because Cindy doesn't fit in the show's universe. She's a character dropped in from a "nicer" style of comedy, stuff like Workaholics or Broad City or The Good Place, and she immediately and obviously clashes with the rest of the show. I was actually probably gonna bail on this season if it weren't for Dennis coming back because I got Poochie vibes *that hard.*

Lord of Booty, fan of the new day does not get irony. Here Cindy is a new Dennis and could elevate them to something better. But do you not know the gang does not like being better, they each like their own role and they keep each other's crazies going. Have you seen the wishing well episode? The one where they huff gas? At the end of "The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again" everyone is back into their roles, all support each other in their roles, and is topped off with Dennis calling Dee a bird and the gang being back at a comfortable jumping off point

Mac gained weight because he was cultivating mass

Have you considered that maybe the character's supposed to work on both levels, as a "new Dennis" who could take them to greater heights and as essentially a walking meta joke about how the TV comedy zeitgeist has passed IASIP by

Like basically nothing you said is incompatible with what I said so I don't understand how that's supposed to be a dunk

I was lukewarm on the episode myself but I think it'll hold up a lot better on a re-watch when I don't have crazy-high expectations for it. I loved all the stuff about the doll and Mac pumping loads into it and Cindy calling them out for running a train on Doll-Dennis, though! :allears:

I thought it was funny by itself, but i do think they're doing a thing this season so it probably will get better when we see the entire season.

I watched the episode and it was pretty good. It had its ups and downs. I didn't really get why Mindy Kaling's character was there. She's just instantly there with no explanation. It kind of seemed like they were caricatures of their characters moreso than previous seasons. I guess I'll just see how this plays out. I definitely saw some classic moments in the trailer.

They released the episode early, but only on the FXX streaming platform which I think you have to have a cable subscription and pay for the fxx streaming?

Anyway, nobody spoke about tbe episode here until it became available in the :filez: space...

I thought Mindy's character being there without any explanation was kind of funny, especially because she was lifting everyone up. But I agree that Dennis just popping back in the first episode seemed like a waste of something that could've spanned a few episodes. I hope they have the doll around a bit longer too, that's a horrorlarious prop. For a moment, I definitely did think they were going to do a "the gang sees and hears the doll come to life" thing that might last the whole season, and I'm slightly disappointed it isn't that.

Also I think strong Mac turned me gay.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

Everyone looks way older than the last season. I wonder if that’s because they are or whether that’s like, the joke that they accentuated with either makeup or just using less age concealing makeup
