The folks who populate It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia may be pals, but they sure aren’t Friends. They may be a gang, but they’re not Our Gang--heck, these cretins make Spanky, Alfalfa, and company look like members of the Good Sam Club by contrast. Consider, if you can bear it, the first of the 15 episodes (presented, with bonus features, on three discs) from this, the show’s third season: Mac (Rob McElhenney) and Dee (Caitlin Olson) discover a baby in a dumpster. Do they report it to the police? To Child Services, maybe? Of course not! They take it to a commercial agent, hoping to cash in by putting the kid in TV ads; and when the agent says that Latino babies are all the rage, they take him to a tanning salon so he’ll appear darker and more “ethnic looking.” Meanwhile, Dennis (Glenn Howerton) pretends to be join a tree-hugging group of hippies, merely so he can steal the group leader’s girlfriend, while Charlie (Charlie Day) and Frank (Danny DeVito) spend the day rummaging around at the trash dump. It’s tough to go downhill from there, but that doesn’t stop them from trying. In the course of the following episodes, members of the quacked quintet reveal themselves to be not only rude, devious, unscrupulous, amoral, and dishonest, but also racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and dumb (their endless arguments about nothing are riotously ridiculous). Not that this will surprise anyone who’s seen the show before. Dee, Mac, and Dennis try out for the Philadelphia Eagles while Charlie and Frank drop acid. Dee sleeps with the old, toothless janitor at a competing bar in order to steal their microbrew recipe. They mock a deaf mute. They fart in each other’s faces. When they think Paddy’s Pub, where they work, is going to be sold, three of them quickly land gigs at a nearby restaurant, where they get drunk on the job and steal from the customers. They even get held hostage by the hillbilly McPoyle family, possibly the only people in the known universe who can make our “heroes” look good. And it’s all pretty hilarious, including the bonus features. Those include humorous commentary on two episodes by McElhenney, Day, and Howerton (the show’s executive producers and occasional writers), two featurettes (a season overview and a look at the McPoyles) that are as whack as the show itself, a gag reel, and a “Dancing Guy” sequence so strange as to beggar description. --Sam Graham

 AMAZING SHOW! December 2, 2008
This show is probably one of the funniest shows on television. It is insanely clever and even though some may think all of the crazy situations the gang gets into are too far fetched, that is the genius of the show. With episodes like "Denis and Dee go on Welfare" and "the gang solves the North Korea problem" you can go insanely wrong! Thats what makes this show so funny!
buy me! November 25, 2008
This is the best season of the funniest show ever. Funny enough to watch over and over again. Great price for a whole season of a great show.

While I really loved the two first seasons of It's Allways sunny, the third season is not as excellent. There are many reasons: to seom degree they push irreverence somewhat too far even for me. Some episodes like the double "The gang gets whacked" are simply not that great, in that episode the sophomoric drug humour is somewhat tiring. The themes are: the gang finds a dumpster baby (which is an OK episode) and overall the first half of the season is rather good but it tnds to spiral downwards after the second disc: themes are: teh agng sells out, frank sets sweet dee on fire, sweet dee is dating a retarded person, mac is a serial killer...oh boy. And this stuff is not really that funny. One point is that even in the first two seasons, adding Danny DeVito was not such a great idea, since his character tends to be more over the top and mroe gross than the rest to are really silly and funny. Anyway as I sa, the first disc is very good and those episodes stand up with wtaht we had seen before.
