http://www.idkfa.com/v3 idkfa: syndicated http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1549 I like It's Always Sunny for all those elements. It's a quick show to watch, keeps me entertained, and they always get into some crazy hi-jinx. I'd say it's true that there isn't really much growth per individual episodes, but there are little things that will get referenced here and there throughout a season that do help flush out the characters. To me it's a cross between Arrested Development and The Sarah Silverman Show. It's got really good writing like AD, but more fart/poop jokes like TSS. Off the top of my head some of it's highlights are: Green Man Day Man/Night Man Dumpster Baby Fucking with Coffee Girl Danny Devito Governator@idkfa.com (Governator) Mercy General Wed, 22 Dec 2010 17:25:49 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1549 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1548 I've only seen the fourth season. And I just haven't had a chance to revisit the first three, or anything following. I feel about It's Always Sunny the same way I feel about Arrested Development. I like the shows a lot because they have great writing and comedic content, but I feel inadequate because I can't recall or regurgitate quotes from the shows upon command. Penny Arcade, though... that's different. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Mercy General Wed, 22 Dec 2010 17:17:00 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1548 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1536 I JUST SAW THAT POST, DAMNIT.

You're not going to give me a list of dramatic movies you like?

No one is going to take me up on this convo? Not even the user whose name is a show reference? Wilber@idkfa.com (Wilber) Mercy General Wed, 22 Dec 2010 15:26:39 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1533 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=1396&msg_id=1396 So I'm on to a new series: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (to those who would note that I seem to be watching a lot of episodic television lately: I'm funemployed, deal with it). People have been telling me to watch this for awhile, and I understand why. It's pretty good. I'm somewhere in season 3 now, and the show has clearly hit an easy stride. I just can't figure out what I like about it. Obviously, the characters are supposed to be irredeemable and generally unlikable (although I find myself pulling for Charlie in like every episode). Most of the episodes have the same structure, too, so there is very little development or surprise. But I still feel compelled to keep watching. I appreciate the reincorporation of jokes, a la Arrested Development, and the constant And Thening of the situations, also like AD. So, maybe I should just go watch AD instead? Also, I can't help but draw some parallels to people we know. Don't nobody be offended now, but Charlie is a deadringer for Aaron, Mac reminds me of Mike, and, I hate to say, Dee and Dennis remind me of my sister and I.
