If you're a fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, you've probably already seen the video featuring Charlie's invention to soften the sound of cat claws: Kitten Mittens. But did you know that there will be far more merchandise options than just the mittens in the coming season of FX's comedy? It's true — a "nudie pen" with Dennis' body being revealed when the pen is tipped, a new kind of bath towel and a new way of getting a "shot" at a bar that is too funny for me to describe here are some of the brilliant inventions brought to us by the bizarre Philly crew.

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).

FX's thriller-mystery series Damages, starring Glenn Close, was one of the best entertainment-related things to come out of 2007, period. It's dark, edgy, and so well written, it succeeded in becoming another one of FX's shows (along with Nip/Tuck and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that brings the cable channel into a whole different league. These shows have way more in common with stuff you'd see on HBO or Showtime than say, USA.

The Riches, FX's drama about a family of Irish travelers trying to swindle their way to the American Dream, returns a week from tonight for its second season — and things aren't looking so good for the Riches Malloys. The first season was spent building their lies and getting their ritzy new community to believe them; now, it appears that their precarious dream life is about to collapse.
Maybe that's not giving enough credit to Doug Rich/Wayne Malloy (Eddie Izzard), the first-class con man who's always been able to get his family out of any jam up till now.

Lucy Spiller is back and more ruthless than ever when Dirt returns March 2 for its second season. This time around, the show is pushing hard on the celebrity scandal angle, with each episode focusing on a story ripped directly from the tabloid headlines. (I'm pretty sure one of them's Britney Spears — just sayin'.)
I think it's interesting to see Dirt moving in that direction when there are so many ripped-from-the-headlines shows already, from the Access Hollywood-style news shows to True Hollywood Story to even Law & Order and CSI (remember L&O's take on Anna Nicole Smith?).

Good news, Damages fans: FX has finally made its decision about renewing the acclaimed but low-rated drama — and it's getting not just one but two more seasons!
The network has committed to a total of 26 new episodes — two 13-episode seasons — of the series, and it's expected to go back into production early next year (presuming the writers are writing again by then, I suppose). Glenn Close, Rose Byrne, and Tate Donovan are all signed on for the additional seasons — but there's no mention of Ted Danson.

"LA's newest implants" aren't of the silicone kind; they're Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, who are making the leap from Miami to Los Angeles in tonight's season premiere of Nip/Tuck. And while the new city provides a welcome change of scenery, the satisfaction is for the viewer only as business isn't exactly booming at the McNamara/Troy office. In fact, the two men find themselves without any clients at all and must resort to hiring a publicist to get their practice rolling.
