"The Gang Gets A TV Tropes Page"

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a critically-acclaimed sitcom that began in 2005; airing on FX for the first eight seasons and FXX since season nine. Reruns have aired on Comedy Central, MTV2 and Viceland, while the entire series is available for streaming on Netflix (in Ireland and the UK) and Hulu (Also in the US).

The show goes to great lengths in bringing the Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist and sheer Comedic Sociopathy to new highs/lows. The three-guys-one-girl structure and selfish characters have led many critics to compare the show to Seinfeld, and was frequently called "Seinfeld on crack" by critics. Put it this way: If Seinfeld featured amusing jerks, It's Always Sunny features legitimately terrible people. In addition, the show depicts a FAR more depraved and aggressive lifestyle than anything Jerry's apartment had to offer.

The show follows a group of friends, regularly called "the gang", which consists of Dennis Reynolds, Deandra "Sweet Dee" Reynolds, Charlie Kelly, and Ronald "Mac" McDonald. Together they run Paddy's Pub, a struggling South Philadelphia Irish-themed dive bar. Dennis is the vain prep from a rich family, Dee is his shallow, shrill, and insecure twin sister who has aspirations to being an actress, Charlie is the high-strung idiot savant who is obsessed with the waitress at a coffee shop, and Mac is the wanna-be bruiser, forever stuck in adolescence as well as t-shirts with the sleeves cut off. In the second season, Danny DeVito joins the cast as Dennis and Dee's neglectful father Frank, a shady, millionaire businessman who is drawn to the gang's depravity and chooses to bankroll their schemes.
