Re: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - "The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis" - 9/1

There's never been an episode of Sunny I didn't enjoy and this was no exception, but it didn't wow me either. The best parts were Charlie educating Frank on Child Abuse Laws and Hugh Honey and Vic Vinegar's house showing.

Also having never heard of it, The "Archer" pilot was really amusing too.

The episode seemed to go by really quickly in my mind. I think there just wasn't quite enough plot to satisfy me, but the character bits were all excellent.

I felt the same way. Good episode, but not a classic.

As for Archer? I had been somewhat interested, but that pilot episode was terrible. I'll pass on that one now.

That commercial for The League caught my eye though. A 30 second spot had more laughs than all of Archer. Maybe they should have aired its pilot instead.

I don't get why they wouldn't have started The League closer to the start of the football season. I agree that the promos look good, but they're not going to be as relevant when half of fantasy football owners have been eliminated from contention.

Ugh. I only got 30 minutes on my DirecTV DVR. At least they have the replay set for 1:03.

The scene where they're all at the pool was the end. FX had it as an hour long in some guides because they didn't want to promote the Archer pilot that came on at 9:30.

Entertaining episode with Charlie and the lawyer stuff being the highlight.
Dee's "jack knife" into the pool was also hilarious. I was hoping for a full hour though.

I didn't care for the Archer pilot. I watched half of it and was bored so I turned it off.

Thankfully I recorded the "TBA" that was in the DTV program guide after Sunny, otherwise I would have missed the last few minutes of the episode.

Charlie vs. the lawyer was good stuff.

Is Archer made by the same people who did Sealab 2021? The animation looks kind of similar.

According to IMDb it is. Adam Reed created Sealab and produces Archer.

They could do an entire episode of Charlie and the attorney's duel!

I loved this episode but that's nothing unusual for me. I could watch this show hour after hour and never get tired of it.

Charlie and all the bird law stuff was great. I was thinking of it as I was walking from my car into work this morning and I almost started cracking up like a mad man.

"Sure we could cave in your skull, paint the walls with your blood, and then take your wife down to the basement . . . "

Oh man, I have zero problems with the hour long episodes, I could never get sick of this show. This may not have been a classic, but it's definitely one I could re-watch a lot & get a new favorite bit every time.

Fantastic episode.

Did anyone notice that the woman buying the house was Anna from Free Radio.

This thread had me all prepared for an hour of Sunny and then it just ended half way. I feel emotionally damaged and am considering my legal options. I demand satisfaction!

I thought Archer was hilarious. Pleasantly surprised by it.

The Always Sunny episode was pretty good. Lots of great lines. Charlie vs. the Lawyer.

Why don't I take your wife upstairs and show her what it's like to be deep inside a really big house?!

Hulu is very good about explaining what is available and when. From the show page:

Agree on both counts. I was set to be pissed about the sneaky way they pushed Archer on me, but 5 minutes in I was glad they did. "Food rapist" I'll definitely be watching come January.

The lawyer on Sunny is a great character. He made the episode for me and I hope he shows up in future episodes.
