Though ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia is my top sitcom of all time, it may have ruined other sitcoms for me (just not how you might think). Opinion / IASIP SunnyFXX NightCourt BosomBuddies RickAndMorty MASH TBBT TheBigBangTheory
\nOver the course of the [EDITORIAL REDACTION] years that I've been alive on this planet to enjoy all of the things that television has had to offer, I'm starting to realize that I'm pretty picky when it comes to sitcoms. Sure, I can enjoy a mindless half-hour of mental fluff & 'A Very Special Episode' madness like the next person, but there are very few sitcoms that have the honor of being carved into the walls of my brain's pop culture pantheon.
It's not a mystery. So we go into every season knowing them for who they are… huge warts and all… and that makes it easier to be on 'Team Paddy's' . They're a dysfunctionally toxic family unit that somehow works, even in the unhealthiest of ways. For McElhenney, Day, Howerton, Olson & DeVito to be able to pull off that kind of connection with their viewers is impressive. To do it over the course of 15 seasons? Mind-blowing.
