VOD - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

What can I say, if you're not watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you're missing arguably one of the best comedies on TV. And with the evolution of cable TV, you get the added bonus of "M" rating language. Nothing spices up a joke like a well timed "Shit!" or "Goddamn!".

History tells us that the pilot for the show was shot by the three male leads with a camcorder for a total cost of about $85 dollars. As FX has currently ordered enough episodes for a sixth season, this represents a pretty good return-on-investment.

The simple premise is this: Dennis, Mac, and Charlie are all co-owners of Paddy's Bar, an ill-fated establishment in Philadelphia. Dennis' twin sister Dee works as a bartender, while their father Frank weasels his way into all their schemes (Frank debuted in Season Two, working his way into the ownership of the bar by buying the land underneath it). It's simple but it works, and with hilarious results always. More on the series if you need it here.

I've embedded Episode 1 from the current season (4) for your viewing pleasure. I know you probably don't have the full twenty two or so minutes at your disposal, but if you don't now, find time later.

FYI, the entire episode comes courtesy of Hulu. The brainchild of Fox parent News Corp. and NBC (who was looking for a proper outlet for their content after ending their Itunes relationship), Hulu has now become one of the top online distributors of streaming content, effectively silencing its doubters. Call me convinced, the website provides a fast and efficient way to enjoy a vast library of some great shows with limited commercial interruption. Now go watch!

That being said I fucking hate Fox News, may it burn in hell alongside it's pundits whom have all sold their souls to the devil that is Rupert Murdoch. But sweet Jesus I love The Simpsons ... what can you do?

Enjoy.
