Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day do an outstanding job with their roles as business partners and best friends in FX\u2019s hit comedy series It\u2019s Always Sunny In Philadelphia<\/em>. As both the directors and showrunners of the series, the three have managed to create a hilariously entertaining show, leaving the viewer wondering whether they are simply just reenacting their real-life friendship on TV.<\/p>\n The cast, although not very well-known, has starred in notable movies and TV shows. Rob McElhenney, the creator of the show, has played the role of Aldo \u2013 one of The Others \u2013 in the popular series Lost<\/em>, while Charlie Day has been the voice of one of the main characters \u2013 Benny \u2013 from The Lego Movie <\/em>as well as Art from Monster\u2019s University<\/em>. Their limited fame should not be cause for underestimating the actors. Their talent and realistically portrayed roles shine through in It\u2019s Always Sunny<\/em>.<\/p>\n The show\u2019s pilot spins off with Mac and Dennis attempting to play basketball, Dennis being distracted by Mac\u2019s cut off t-shirt sleeves. This is when Charlie, a constantly confused child at heart, tries to join the game, only to end up having his height mocked by Mac and Dennis who call him a \u201cmunchkin man\u201d and begin dancing like Oompa-Loompas (Charlie then joins the dance of his own mockery). This child-like humor is what the show centers around, lightening the mood of the viewer with every buoyant and droll joke. The cheerful old-fashioned music in the background also adds to the lighthearted mood of the episode by bringing back memories of old cartoons such as Tom & Jerry.<\/em><\/p>\n A mash-up of The Office, Modern Family<\/em>, and Friends<\/em>, the show manages to include witty jokes and awkward situations while keeping it original. The many co-directors, including Matt Shakman (director of Ugly Betty<\/em> and Everybody Hates Chris<\/em>) and Fred Savage (director of Modern Family<\/em> and What I Like About You <\/em>and child actor on The Wonder Years<\/em>), create an amusing and relatable environment on the series.<\/em><\/p>\n As the title suggests, It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia <\/em>offers 20-minute episodes of bright and upbeat entertainment. The simple quick-witted humor makes the time spent watching the series worthwhile. The show \u2013 available on FX, FXX, and Netflix \u2013 is definitely worth the watch, so don\u2019t be surprised when you add it to your list of favorite comedies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Hilda Filke, Staff Writer Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day do an outstanding job with their roles as business partners and best friends in FX\u2019s hit comedy series It\u2019s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
