Spoiler:
The gang fudge history by claiming that Paddy's Pub was responsible for cracking the Liberty Bell in an attempt to turn their dive into a Philadelphia landmark.


And look at who made an appearance at the Phillies World Series Parade:

I wonder how long it will be before they mention on the show that the Phillies won the World Series. Apparently the three guys that produce the show (Charlie, Mac and Dennis) are big Phillies fans.

Sounds like another winner episode. It looks like all 4 may be involved in the same storyline which may make for even more hilarious situations.

I was a little worried about this episode, but it ended up being great. I love how they're always screwing over Cricket (this time they really did him in, if you know what I mean), even when it's them telling a story.

I can definitely see Mac and Dennis siding with whoever they think is going to win. lol @ the picture they drew. And Dee as a whench/slave/witch was great; took them treating her like crap to a whole new level.

I was dying when Charlie and Frank kept shooting at each other.

Also enjoyed them constantly referencing the year being 1776 and how social standards would allow them to do whatever they wanted with no repercussions.

I hated this episode, and I seriously hope they avoid these gimmick episodes in the future.

Amen.

This season started out golden but these past three episodes have left me a little worried. Next week's looked pretty good.

I really enjoyed this, from the start in the office and trying to cut out the painting from the frame, to Dee being the slave, to Col Cricket!

Brilliant stuff.

Charlie and Frank picking out the stick to beat the guy with was fantastic.

I don't know. The last couple of episodes have seemed a little off. I still love how self-absorbed the entire cast is, but the conclusions (last couple of minutes) have been a little off. There's some great comedic lines throughout, but in terms of the setup-delivery-punchline for the story arc seems a little off.

To be specific:
  • For Dennis Reynolds: An Erotic Life they walk into the warehouse, say a couple more lines, then leave
  • For Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack, Frank casually breaks out of an asylum
  • Yesterday, they just continue telling the story to the historical society lady

However, I will admit what happened to Cricket was pretty shocking!

Whether you liked the premise or not, I can't see how anyone that likes the show could not have found it funny (how's that for some double negatives?). It was classic Sunny, just a different background.
