The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

IMDB shows us getting 2 new episodes a week for Always Sunny, at least for the next 3 weeks, but I assume they would do it for the whole 8 episode season...

My media collector is showing the broadcast schedule as 2 eps tonight, the 8th, the 15th and the 22nd. I guess part of why they signed on for 3 or 4 more seasons is they're only cranking out 4 hours a year. I do wonder why they're doubling up like this to cram everything into one month. Unless...

REVERSAL OF FORTUNE Sunny seasons are short and get blasted out in 4 weeks but one gets released every 4 months :getin:

Is Mac still bar security even? I feel like the last few seasons they've abandoned even pretending to have actual jobs and just plop the characters down in whatever wacky situation they came up with that week. Not necessarily a bad thing, and unless they're going to actually do something with their job (like using Mac to make fun of hypermasculine TapOut dudebros) there isn't really any benefit to showing them sweeping up or doing inventory.

Was he ever really, or did he just decide he was because he's so jacked and intimidating?

I assume the shortened season is still just the effects from Covid and also maybe they blew their budget going to Ireland, which is apparently the entire last 4 episodes of the season...

As far as pumping out the episodes... I'm sure it has a lot to do with FXX being pretty poo poo at the moment without much programming that's not what people can just watch on a streaming platform...

They have always had short seasons. I’m sure FX would throw anything they ask at them to make more but they choose not to.

I usually buy this on Amazon so that I can get episode's immediately but I don't see it up there. Is there a legal way to watch it tonight?

Note: I have Hulu, but that's not for tonight. And my main TV device is an xbone.

Either Hulu Live or YouTube Live. Use a free trial of one of them and I think they both offer a free month. Since it’s a double episode a week season they should be done in a month.

Solid first two episodes.

The modern forest gump is a lot of fun for the first one (and its good they call it out too!). Its also got some classic Sunny schemes which are always ridiculous.

I like how they handled the woke humor aspect a lot in the second episode. The gang is unable to successfully adapt to the new culture not because the culture is wrong, but because the gang are just terrible people. This is of course in contrast to the actual show creators who made a funny episode while acknowledging all this. The episode also features a return of some classic Dennis.

I thought they were a bit okay-ish as episodes, but Charlie and Glenn got some killer lines in so overall I liked it. The part about Charlie pitching animals as the villain in Lethal Weapon 7 was easily my favorite.

Thank you. My partner made a Hulu Live trial. On the plus, we were able to watch it, so complete thanks.

Outside of that, Hulu Live was only a 1 week trial and it still made me watch commercials. I cut cable out a decade ago and currently have Hulu without ads myself. It was so mindnumbing that even if it were a month I'd just wait until Thursday for the remaining episodes.

it's interesting they went in a direction of "you can't make fun of anything" which is similar to the newest south park special with jimmy's jokes. i know that doesn't always land for people who disagree, but i think it's hilarious. the gang outright stating that nobody today wants to actually have a dialogue and they just want their opinions regurgitated back to them is pretty in-line with my personal experience as a 30-something dude with whacky friends on both sides.

pepper jack returning is triumphant. long live sunny.

I thought that the overall point of the episode was less you can't make fun of anything and more you can't replace artistic merit with virtue signaling, I didn't feel like the show was really apologetic about the removed episodes, which were already commentary about blackface in media, this one was about how it's not enough just not to do blackface and cast POCs, you can do all those things and still be a bigot.

Or idk, I watched it once.

While I think they are obviously poking at the whole Twitter world and its reactionary tendencies, we cannot forget that the gang are awful people and fairly incompetent at most of their schemes (see all the bad green screen, acting and the whole describing the drive bit). So when the gang thinks they cannot make anything good without offending people, its mostly just because its them. Which turns out to be funny for us.

As soon as Dennis described himself as being woke, I was like "oh, he's trying to bang somebody"

Also, I wasn't sure what the political/social position the third girl was supposed to represent.

At that point Dennis had stopped caring/taking notice. He thought he could feign interest in the left and then the right in order to get laid (kind of like the whole abortion issue from waaaay back near the start of the series) and then realized all he had to do was regurgitate what was being said, at which point he stopped paying attention to what their political leanings even were, since really all he ever wanted from them in the first place was to use them for sex.

Just so we're all clear, they sprung for a Rolling Stones song to play over a montage of Frank dying old men's hair and it wasn't Paint It Black? Is that what we're going with?
