It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Season 3 (Review)

The third season is really just more of the same and considering that the last two seasons were pure brilliance, that's actually a pretty damn good thing. The main characters still manage to make me laugh out loud by trying to one-up each others, taking advantage of innocent people, and just being all around douchebags. The continuity is even stronger this time as supporting characters from the past become more prominent like the tranny from season one, Rickety Cricket (my personal favorite), and the McPoyle family. The McPoyles in particular get a lot of screen time this season which is unfortunate as I don't really find them to be that funny.

The cast continue to play off each other wonderfully. Charlie continues to be the standout character, but this season sees Dee (Kate Olsen) really step into the spotlight with some truly hilarious comedic moments. The area she seems to excel in most is her reactions to either the gangs actions or their constant belittling of her life. The episodes still covers a range of topics like abandoned babies, handicaps, and sexual predators. It's all handled very well and it's all very funny, but my favorite episode this season is the finale, where the gang find themselves in a dance marathon with ownership of Paddy's Pub at stake . The episode is a joy as it has the cast at the best and it features my favorite line of the season spoken by Charlie ("I'm about to show you the white hot cream of an 8-year-old boy."). The show is still crass, insensitive and funny as hell, I want more.
