From an artistic viewpoint it probably allows him to really get good ideas for episodes going, which improves quality.

It is unfortunate for all the people a season of the show employs and then "poof, paycheck gone" when he wants to take a break.

i mean working in his wife-troubles via his onscreen wife was a pretty good example of how Larry's life can positively affect the show. Mostly I might just love the Blacks.

I never really thought about the other people thought :-/ Hopefully the fact that it's hand camera means there's not too much in the way of crew to employ, and I'd imagine most of the actors understand how Larry's working. Comedians in Cars reminds me a lot of Curb in that Seinfeld almost certainly doesn't need to do that program, or anything but play softball with his kids in the Hamptons, but he still produces quality content out of his need to work.

If there's a spectrum of verisimilitude, this ep was on the "too ridiculous" end. The series as a whole walks a fine line and does it well.

Oh well, there's always next week.

The only thing that really was too ridiculous for me was right near the end during the water filter scene when the gang went "Frank you're just like the NRA" and nobody batted an eye. That whole sequence was way too intelligent in the Sunny universe for me. Everything else was on the "who the gently caress cares" level, because the gang gets away with so much poo poo in general.

I didn't get the NRA joke but I don't pay much attention to gun stuff

I mean it's basically explained in the show. Many gun rights groups are known to be affiliated with actual gun companies. In recent history the NRA and similar groups have faked shortages ("The government is buying all the bullets so they can arm themselves to take your guns!") or generally drummed up fear to work up demand.

I don't think there was supposed to be any commentary, just the gang being complete lunatics making a mockery out of their own positions. This is Always Sunny, not South Park.

This.

If you got any commentary off of this, other than that people like Frank are scumbags, then you were watching too hard. Dee/Dennis and Mac/Charlie both started off trying to prove opposite points and couldn't come to their expected conclusion due to sheer, insane incompetence. The only "winner" was Frank who wasn't really even playing.

It's not a South Park where "these zealots are idiots and the truth is in the middle"...it's just "these people are idiots".

"I have a bleached rear end in a top hat."

I always thought a great episode concept would be a one-off that focuses almost entirely on the side characters, with the Gang either off-screen or only seen briefly in cameo.

Working title: "Cricket's Revenge"

I mean the best episodes of late House seasons were the ones entirely from Cuddy/Wilson's perspective, and you only get random snippets of the House plot, usually involving people running around yelling. Getting to see the gang's antics from the perspective of someone only tangentially related to said antics could be great.

Kaitlin Olson just gave a pretty entertaining interview on Conan.

The highlight was her story about getting injured while filming the Lethal Weapon 6 episode. She and Rob had to go to the emergency room, and while they were waiting she noticed they were getting a lot of glares from people. She was trying to figure out why, and then realized it was because Rob was still in costume, including the blackface.

It's not encrusted...usually at least. Usually it's soaked in salty water for a while to make the skin/part of the inside salty. Just giving a potato a salty crust seems like a terrible idea Charlie/Frank would do to get their electrolyte levels up or something.

It probably comes down to the everyone else being really loving passive in that episode, and Mac being even more of a dumb little baby than usual. Which to be fair, I think the plot kinda required, but it does mean Country Mac pretty much has to carry the whole episode. Good thing Seann William Scott was funny as hell in the episode, a bad Country Mac could have made it one of, if not the worst episode they ever did.

That's certainly true.

If Country Mac wasn't the most charming Mac ever, then it would have been a marginal/bad episode, minus Sweet Dee's weed face.

I thought this was the best season since maybe 5. I love them all though.

The only real stinker of an episode that I can think of, ever, is Frank's Brother. There's one or two funny jokes (mouth hoagies!) but it's a chore to watch that one.

Yeah, that's definitely one of the worst. It's entirely too close to just being a normal story of love and betrayal and whatever. It lacked the kind of insane antics an episode of It's Always Sunny really needs.

There really hasn't been an episode or season I haven't liked, although season 7 did push the dark humor so far that it went past funny straight into disturbing more than a few times (that scene where Roxy dies and they just drag her out into the hallway and leave her there is just grim as hell).
