TV Tonight: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season Premiere!
Always Sunny fans, listen up! The fourth season starts tonight on FX with two (count 'em, two!) new episodes — and they are doozies. In the first, "Manhunt," Dennis and Mac go on a manhunt (as in, they go hunting — camouflage and all — for a man) while Dee and Charlie become convinced that they are cannibals (thus the preview clips of the two of them at a morgue with a hot plate and a six-pack of beer).

TV Tonight: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"
Tonight our favorite crass, clueless Philadelphians return to TV for their third season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"! I've mentioned before how much I love this FX show, and judging by tonight's first episode, it looks like this season will not disappoint.
As fans probably already know, this show is not exactly concerned with political correctness, as evidenced by even the title of tonight's premiere: "The Gang Finds a Dumpster Baby."

FX may be best known these days for its edgy dramas, but it also has a great comedy in its stable: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," about two siblings and their friends who run an Irish pub in Philly. Together with Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Dennis's (Glenn Howerton) enterprising dad (Danny DeVito), the foursome embark on one delightfully ill-advised adventure after another. Whether they're attending abortion-rights rallies to meet girls, pretending to be disabled to get sympathy lap dances or charging people to see a stain on their wall that looks like the Virgin Mary, the group's short-sighted plans always go awry — yet their friendships remain relatively intact.

Five Questions With Charlie Day
I am continuously amused by the FX comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The writers and actors on that show are either utterly fearless or just don't care about remaining within politically correct boundaries — to uncomfortable and hilarious results.
I recently got to talk with Charlie Day, one of the creators/writers/stars of Always Sunny and picked his brain a bit about the series, his director Fred Savage, and his wife — who plays the waitress Charlie is obsessed with on the show.
