It’s Always Sunny On Christmas…
It\'s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
There are a few movies/TV Sshows that I watch without fail every holiday season…“Christmas Vacation,” “Bad Santa,” “It’s A Wonderful Life,” and “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,” just to name a few. This year, I am excited to have a new Christmas classic to add to the mix… “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas.”
Even though this show has been airing on the FX Network for the last five years, I was just turned on to it last year by some friends of mine. Now, I’m hooked. For those that have never seen the show, it revolves around a group of slightly degenerate friends who own a bar in Philadelphia. It’s a little like Seinfeld in that there’s no real story line that carries through the theme of the show, it’s just about the crazy things this group of friends gets into every week.
This November, they released a DVD Christmas special that is really hilarious. I don’t even know how to described it, other than this tidbit…if you’ve ever wanted to see Danny Devito naked (and let’s face it, who hasn’t?), then this is your chance. There is also a claymation penis at one point (don’t ask, just go with it), and, in my favorite scene, one of the characters (Charlie) FREAKS OUT on a mall Santa and total chaos ensues. There are no real morals learned and everyone ends up exactly where they started. The characters never learn from their mistakes or become any wiser and I love them for that.
This will definitely be a show I’ll watch with my kids someday…but only after they turn 18.
I just got this and it’s still in the plastic wrap. I gotta watch this bad boy!
I’m so jealous that you just got into the show. That means you can go back and rent all the old seasons and it will be new to you. Keep your eyes peeled for “Dayman.” It’s the greatest tune EVER.
Kathy- I already bought seasons 1,2 and 3! Love it!
Man, I love holiday movies and this is one I haven’t seen yet. It’s on the list! Fred Clause (Vince Vaughn) is also on my list this year. I only saw the beginning of it and it looks pretty dang funny.
Foxy- I heard Fred Clause is actually really funny. I’ll have to watch it sometime.
