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.
