You're not going to say no to buying this set... because of the IMPLICATION.

If you're looking at this Season 6 set of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", you're clearly already a fan, and you're wondering if you should buy this set... well the answer is "of course you should, why are you even reading this, why are you not adding it to your cart and buying it and then standing at your mailbox for the next couple days waiting for it?!". Finally, just in time for the start of Season 7, we get to re-experience Charlie's dream book (Denim Chicken? Wormhat?), The boat meant for P-Diddy style parties (and shrimping), Dennis and Dee becoming podcasters (and quickly discarding their original vision for shock-radio), Mac being SO CLOSE to finally "having a catch" with Chase Utley, more jokes about Dee looking like a bird, more adventures of the gruesome twosome, Mac "getting jammed up" when "trying to get his pump on"... and of course... LETHAL WEAPON 5!
The producers of these discs have seemed to figure out a way to do more with less, as this is a two disc set (previous sets have been 3 discs). Despite this, the DVDs look great and sound great, I actually find the DVDs mix is a little better than I remember the aired episodes (when the intro music seemed to be much louder than the rest of the show). As far as extras go, you get the "un-aired, extended cut" of Lethal Weapon 5 (a 15 minute start-to-finish version of what the gang has had in their possession apparently for some time), 3 of Dennis & Dee's Podcasts (each of them are 4-5 minutes long), 15 minutes of deleted/extended scenes, about 7 minutes of bloopers, and a 3-and-a-half minute episode of "Legal Advice with Jack Kelly" (though he appears to be the one trying to get advice), some commentaries, AND an episode of the pilot of the show "Wilfred" (which I recommend checking out, it's another darkly humorous show on the FX network). The producers have done a great job packing this set with stuff the fans will enjoy.
If you're a die-hard fan of Always Sunny, you've already bought this. If you were on the fence about picking this one up, hopefully this review has persuaded you to do so, because it's definitely a must-have set.

Don't let the slow start to the season fool you...
Feb 12 2011

Format:DVD
Let me say that I am a HUGE Always Sunny fan. The first 5 seasons were nothing short of pure genius. Needless to say I was pumped for season 6 - but it started off very weak. "Mac Fights Gay Marriage" and "Dennis Gets Divorced" is essentially a 2-part opening episode that falls flat. Both of these episodes were poorly written. I thought that this might be the beginning of the end for my favorite TV show....
Next up - "The Gang Buys a Boat". Pow! Always Sunny comes out swinging. The gang buys a "P. Diddy" style fishing boat and hilarity ensues. Some classic one-liners return: Dennis - "Those are barnacles. Do not eat those. Do not cook them in a pot and serve them to us." Not to mention Charlie finding a horse tooth under water and dreaming of some sort of "revolutionary times horse massacre". Oh wow.
The follow up episodes keep the funny ball rolling - especially "Mac's Mom Burns Her House Down" (can you say, a Golden Girls cheesecake situation?). The gang then hits another bump in the road with "The Gang Gets a New Member", which, despite a funny premise, fell a bit short of my expectations.
A bump is all it turned out to be. The final 4 episodes left me in tears. We find out who got Dee pregnant, exactly what "Blackface" is, and why Charlie Kelly is indeed, king of the rats.
This is the best show on TV. Period. I've already pre-ordered season 6.
Keep it coming fellas!

Season 6: A speed bump in the momentum
July 27 2011
By Charles Crosbie
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Until this season "Sunny" has gotten progressively better each year -- finally hitting its apex with the amazing Season 5. Season 6, however, seemed to deviate from this momentum and proved to be generally uneven.
As some other reviewers have noted, only two episodes were actually written by members of the main cast ("The Gang Buys a Boat" and "Who Got Dee Pregnant?") which fittingly are two of the season's strongest episodes. This fact points to probably the most glaring problem with Season 6 -- it has great moments, just fewer solid complete episodes than seasons past.
Sure "the implication," "Lethal Weapon 5" and Mac calling everyone a "Jabroni" will easily enter the canon of great and memorable Sunny moments, however episodes like "Mac and Charlie: White Trash" hardly hold up against their catalog of better written episodes.
Maybe it was too many side projects, maybe it was working around Kaitlin's pregnacy, maybe it was not having Fred Savage behind the camera or Rob, Charlie and Glenn not actually writing most of the material that hindered Season 6, but one can only hope Season 7 will regain the remarkable momentum this show had formerly achieved.
As for the consumer, I personally will buy this season just because I've watched the first five so many times -- but ulitimately I'm sure I'll be pulling out Season 6 discs as often as Season 1 in the near future. Funny moments, but few great episodes in this DVD pack.

Still great
Nov 14 2010

Format:DVD
Contrary to other reviews, I'm still loving this series. I'll admit, the first two episodes weren't the best (though they still had very funny parts - still laugh thinking about Mac's gag reflex), and I just don't know where the whole pregnancy thing is going, but the show is still a blast. Who Got Dee Pregnant was one of the best episodes yet, eps 8 & 9 were classic for Charlie, and as fans how can you people not be in love with Lethal Weapon 5? White Trash was pretty fantatstic so far too. All in all not the best season, but I'm still in love, and this is still the best show on television. I'm confident this season will end in fantastic fashion and have no issues giving this a five star rating with what I've seen so far.
