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:

Just remembered ocular patdowns

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.

I think that still would have been obvious even without actually using Gimme Shelter. Missed opportunity for a stupid dad pun IMO

Having said that, Gimme Shelter is a straight banger and hearing it on a regular TV show is still pretty cool.

It probably cost them mid/high-six figures, too. Stones are notorious for charging out the rear end for use of their tunes.

Oh yeah, them, The Beatles, Prince, there's just some music you almost never hear in movies/TV so it really stands out when you do. People were joking that whatever season of Mad Men blew all their budget on playing a Beatles track for 30 seconds.

I like to imagine the Stones were already fans of the show and let them have it for like 50 bux, the way Pink Floyd refuses to license a professional stage production of The Wall but will let high school theater classes do it for free.

Those were some drat fine episodes of Sunny! Really looking forward to this new season.

The last few seasons have been hit-or-miss for me, and while these 2 won't be among my favorites they're both solid Sunny eps. Hopefully they continue to swing towards quality over quantity for the rest of the season as well.

The same thing happened to the Venture Bros. They had Stephen Colbert play a character early on, and then Colbert later became a big star. They then wanted to bring that character back but they couldn't get past Colbert's agent to do the voice again and had to get someone else to play the character (Bill Hader I think). Then Colbert found out about it and then played the character again later.

Yeah Prof. Fantastic or whatever the strechy boi is named in the Fantastic Four.

So far none of the episodes this season have been home runs, but they're 4 for 4 with solid at base hits. I think, I don't watch baseball. I've liked every episode pretty well so far is what I'm trying to say.

Was that one long shot when Charlie was skating through the rink, or just clever editing?

Either way, it highlights how bad Dee's skate edit looked.

Yeah that was pretty rough, either very obviously cutting off her head or being 20 feet away and keeping her hair in her face so you :airquote:

he basically starved himself when they were filming season 2 because he was doing some weird 'cleanse' diet

Master Clense^TM! Nothing but lemon, honey and cayenne for 10-40 days. The way he described it he actually felt pretty good most of the time, but that was because he was basically tricking his body into thinking it was dying so it would dump a bunch of endorphins into his system to make it hurt less.

And yeah the podcast in general has been great so far. A lot of the time they barely even touch on the episode they're supposed to be talking about, but just listening to the 3 of them bullshit about Sunny lore for 40 minutes is a lot of fun.

The new comedy is tragedy.

old tragedy is comedy (tragedy + time = comedy, and 15 seasons is a looooooong time). They're only able to do stuff like Charlie in the rain and Mac also in the rain because we've seen these characters develop over a decade and a half. Would be pretty funny to have each season end with some kind of growth or catharsis for each character; Dee sees some success in acting, Dennis at least slightly fixes his brain troubles. I don't know what'd you'd do with Frank...

I'm picturing it like the Married with Children episode where they spend the whole thing stuck on the freeway in traffic. The gang keeps getting cut off in line by new cars pulling in. Different members get out of the car for various reasons on little adventures. Maybe even to get food for themselves elsewhere. Potentially a fight here or there. It really is a great setup with a lot of potential. I know one thing, goons need a writing credit at this point.

LA (or I guess in-universe Philly) can't be that far away from a multi-day traffic jam like what happened in China, where they were stuck so long it actually turned into a little town with vendors lining the roadway selling supplies to people to take back to their ~~houses~~ cars.

vvv I had rewatched The Shield not too long before seeing that episode again and was surprised at how close he got.

not a good movie and yeah its just small cameos. Charlie and Mary play a couple tripping balls at the end of the world and Glen plays a car thief. Like 5-6 minute bits all shot during peak lockdown so its just a movie made up of vignettes where the actors usually stay 6ft away from each other with cute indie pop music played over scenes of the main character walking around to the next vignette. Could probably find the vignettes on youtube or something.

It was in the RLM 2021 catch up video and that was one of their complaints, that it was peak Indie Film with the characters just walking from one dialogue partner to the next:

I'm fascinated by this kind of human/society origin story stuff. Like how back in hunter/gatherer times, women were pretty much 50/50 with men in running poo poo. But when we 'invented' agriculture that gave an advantage to having more upper body strength to push plows and stuff and boys took over. Pretty well downhill since then.

Season 5 is also full of absolute bangers

I use Charlie Work, despite it being a pretty uncharacteristic way of seeing Charlie for the first time. The other 4 characters are all in rare form so I figure it balances out. Also kind of a bottle episode with just the bar set, though I don't know if the front and back of the building are actually in the same location or not. And the inspection lady and truck driver have a fair bit of dialogue between them. Maybe a 1/2 bottle episode?

This gets repeated a lot but it is in no way true.

Not in number of episodes by a wide margin, and not in longest-running. Just off the top of my head, Red Dwarf is a live-action sitcom that's been running since the 80s, so they'd have to say "continuously-running," but that's not true either, as Sunny has missed some years. Just not as many as Red Dwarf.

Not putting out a new season every single year isn't quite the same as Dwarf taking a break from '93 to '97, and '99 to '09. Has Sunny ever actually taken a break or do they just miss some years due to filming/production cycles rolling over a calendar year every once in a while?
