For five seasons (plus a Christmas special), It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been the flagship comedy on a network known for its edgy dramas.  Sunny remains on brand for FX by this virtue: you certainly can’t find anything like it on the broadcast networks, you probably can’t find anything comparable on the rest of basic cable, and even the unlimited bounds of premium cable systematically fail to espouse such depravity with such consistency.

There is a theoretical saturation point, where either I or the characters get too old for their antics.  Thank god it hasn’t come in season six, which continues to provide shameful joy in the four episodes FX sent over for review.  More after the jump:

Even from its pilot episode, “The Gang Gets Racist”, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been one of the most mean-spirited and offensive shows on television.  It’s also been one of the funniest, and it’s only gotten funnier, as well as more mean-spirited and offensive, over the last four seasons.  Now in its fifth season, the show has become one of FX’s biggest hits and they’ve even released a special Christmas episode, A Very Sunny Christmas, which is available now on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download.

Stars and co-creators Glenn Howerton (who plays Dennis Reynolds) and Rob McElhenney (who plays Mac) recently sat down for a conference call where they talk about the show’s success, the controversy surrounding the episode “The Great Recession” which prominently featured Dave & Busters and Coors Light, how they came to create A Very Sunny Christmas, and more.  Fans of the show should definitely check it out after the jump.

By a time a show reaches its fifth season, it’s in an awkward place.  It’s established what made it popular but if it keeps using that established trait, then the show gets stale, it dies, and too many shows avoid this natural selection by either indifferent audiences who don’t want any evolution in their show or by networks who are too scared to replace it with a new show that may not even build up an audience in the first place.

So where does “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” go?  We know it’s meaner than hell, features the most unlikable cast possible, and pushes its characters to unbelievable stupidity.  Well, as it turns out, they can perfect all this and then up their game by having the actors announce that they’ve just mastered comedic performance.  Hit the jump to find out why the newest season of TV’s meanest comedy may be its best yet.
