A VERY Special Episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' (Very.)
Filed under: Comedy

I know, I know: Why would Cinematical be writing a story about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? NO, there are no plans to turn this blisteringly funny little series into a movie -- at least none that I know of. I think I'll just extend the suspense a little longer...
Is it because yours truly was born and raised (and is currently seated in front of a computer) in Philadelphia? Despite the fact that this wonderful city gave us Rocky, The Sixth Sense, and Mannequin 2: On the Move -- the answer is no: We're not posting about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia because it takes place in an awesome city. (Go Phils!)
OK, maybe I'm just blathering about the comedy series because, let's face it, Sunny is much funnier than most Hollywood comedies. It just is. But that's not the reason either. Here's why you're reading a TV story on a movie blog:
Anyone remember Patrick Walsh? For a while there, and not very long ago, he was one of the Cinematical team, and guess what he's doing now. (No, really. Guess.) That's right: Writing episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. As a matter of fact, Pat's first episode will have its world premiere TONIGHT on FX at 10:30 eastern. But you should just tune in at 10 because that's the season premiere, which is also brand-new. (And probably hilarious.) Mr. Walsh is also co-producing a lot of the show's web content, which is handily available at this blog right here.
So THAT's why I wasted all your valuable blog-browsing time: To congratulate a friend on landing a very cool gig. If you had my job you'd probably do the same thing. (Now who do I have to talk to if I want to write for The Office...?) For the rest of your TV blogging, I kindly refer you to the TV Squad, who are probably going giddy over all the new shows.

Congratulations to Patrick Walsh, I hope he can write an episode that actually makes this show funny. They've got a ton of episodes over on Hulu.com, so for those fans who didn't know that you should head over there and watch them to your hearts content. People online keep saying how great it is, so I actually sat through about 5 episodes and think I smiled a total of two times. Just don't get whats so funny about a bunch of idiots getting themselves into ridiculously stupid situations.

"I hope he can write an episode that actually makes this show funny"
i hope you one day find a clue... maybe you can trade said clue for a sense of humor. Isnt there an old episode of "Are You Being Served" on PBS you should be watching??

Not funny? What medication are you on? This show holds nothing sacred. Tell me who else on TV could get a laugh out of child molestation or cannibalism? There is nothing to compare unless you are lucky enough to get BBC America and have been watching Little Britian, another one of a kind for crossing the line

Funniest show on TV. Can't wait for the premiere tonight to see Dee and Charlie get all Ravenous.
Congratulations to Patrick. I hope it is a long, great gig.

GO PHILS!! and I can't wait for the new season. I actually was at a game last year where two of the guys (forget which two) and danny devito threw out the first pitch. devito's throw only made it halfway.

I have not been able to get into this show at all for some reason. I promise, I am not comedically challenged. Congrats Patrick!
