FX has set Monday, August 17 for the Season 18 premiere of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It returns with an expanded 10-episode season, up from eight episodes in the previous three seasons.

In season 18, Charlie, Mac, Dennis (Howerton), Dee (Olson), and Frank (DeVito) are wrapped up in salvaging inheritances from a dead woman, surviving tent encampments and the great inside-outside divide between the haves and have-nots, withstanding job loss at the hands of workplace automation, embracing a newfound appreciation for neurodivergence, questioning the fabric of society against conspiracy theories, and of course — the biggest elephant in the room — outlasting the public’s pendulum swing against drinking. Not to mention battling nerds, LARPers, and a particularly petulant McPoyle clan at the Renaissance Faire or sportswashing their way back into the good graces of their community by sponsoring a Little League team. All the while trying to maintain order in their personal lives and at Paddy’s, which have become increasingly lawless and erratic.

I'm currently in the middle of my umteenth watch-through. I'm excited, but naturally nothing can really top the earlier seasons. And that's ok. Any Sunny is better than no Sunny.

    I loath sitcoms like Friends, Big Bang, Theory, and the like with laugh tracks.

    I do like The Office, Parks and Rec, and Community.

    I've great things about Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia, should I give it a go?

    They have an episode that makes fun of laugh tracks. S12E03.

    IASIP is not for everyone. They are purposefully crass, annoying, and loud, but funny.

    I also love Parks & Rec and The Office. IASIP is not those shows, but you might like it.
