I have mixed feelings about Always Sunny. LOVED the first few seasons, and for some reason I knew about it from the beginning, so kind of felt like I was in on something not a lot of people knew about, and that made it even better. The Episode where D and Dennis are basically crackheads is still one of my favorite episodes of comedy on TV ever.

Then it slowly started becoming not as funny. Not sure why or how. It got to the point last year during the middle of the season, we stopped watching. I thought it was just done.

Then been watching this Season, and some episodes have been great, others have been meh. It is like there is no consistency.

When they are great though, nothing comedy wise can really touch them. But when they are meh for me, yeah, something is then off.

It is hard to pinpoint exactly why I feel some episodes are not good, but if I had to try, I would say it is because at times the outrageousness seems forced and is just done for the sake of being outrageous. Where in the past in earlier Seasons, the outrageousness was there because they were just such messed up characters. Not sure if that makes sense, but it is the best way I can describe it. I just feel there is a pretty distinct difference in the quality of the comedy from the earlier seasons to the later ones.

A show not being as good as it once was is nothing new though, I tend to feel most shows get worse with age. Only have been a handful that I can think of that stayed the same, or in very rare cases, continued getting better.

I will say, I once fancied going to school for film making, even applied to NYU Film School way back when. So for awhile I was pretty heavily into the how and why behind creating television and movies. I was heavily in to the theory and art of script writing, blah blah blah, so it has always made me view things with a different eye. As such I tend to be hyper critical. I actually wish at times this was not the case and I could just accept things for what they are. Alas, it is both a blessing, but mainly a curse. :rofl:

With all that said, a not as good as it once used to be Always Sunny is still a brilliant show overall. I do want to make that known.

I admit the last couple of seasons felt different. It still had stand out episodes but some episodes were just poor. I still think overall it is the same show comedy wise. This season they've hit the ground running though and so far i'm really excited for the rest of the season.

Dennis and Dee go on Welfare, is one of the best episodes. If i wanted to get someone into the show, i would show them that episode. Nightman Cometh, is another stand out episode.

      Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.

      XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.

      Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
