It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FXX) TV Show • Page 30

I haven't watched the finale yet but if Glenn can't/doesn't want to come back they shouldn't keep going the end

 

That would have been a great way to end the show

 

Well now that I've actually seen the episode I feel like Glenn is fucking around and its a gag.

 

Yeah I've been thinking about it all day and there's just no way it happens imo. If Glenn was genuinely leaving the show they wouldn't have written Dennis out that way.

 

Also

 

This leaving the show rhetoric might be his version of a "fat Mac's type thing.

I mean they write and records these episodes almost a year in advance as their writing and shooting schedules are in the spring. I doubt Glenn knew he was going to do that NBC show at that point.

 

I'm guessing they're planning on this being some excuse to not have Glenn in the show as much, but no way can he just leave entirely. I'm really hoping his life in North Dakota finally pushes him over the edge and he goes full blown psychotic.

Anyway, I finally got to watch the finale, and I laughed more during this episode than I have all season. I think my favorite part was when Charlie lays on the couch and says "Dee, don't be a whore tonight and try to bang me again. Too much sex tired..." First time they've acknowledged the Charlie/Dee thing, I think.

 

I found all of Frank's lines to be the best in the finale.
I'd be down for them to go on hiatus if it means waiting for Glenn. I just don't want them to have to make it without him.

 

I really want an episode with Dennis trying to be a father in North Dakota and slowly going crazy. Kind of like a sequel to the suburbs one but without even Mac there to go crazy with him

Then the ending is him returning to the bar and his explanation is just "there was a fire" and they don't say anything else about it

 

I'd love an episode where the whole gang goes to North Dakota to get him back.
There's a lot of oil there, maybe they could get jobs as oil men and it could be called "The Gang Solves the Oil Crisis."

 

Yeah that was my other idea, the gang misses Dennis so they find where he lives in North Dakota and he keeps trying to resist getting sucked into their antics but he eventually can't

 

Let's write it, they have a pretty open policy regarding spec scripts.

 

personally, i'm waiting for them to do a bar rescue episode with jon taffer.

 

Out of curiosity -- how do you submit something you've written?

 

The people that I've seen approach Glenn on Twitter. The best way would be to gain representation and have your agent contact theirs haha.

 

never got the sense glenn was leaving from watching the ep

and i still dont get that sense after reading an article

so yeah

 

Happy Pi(e) Day from the Sunny gang!

 

Finally watched the finale

Charlie and Frank frantically looking for and yelling about eggs was cracking me up so hard

 

i'm still shocked they haven't done this episode. not necessarily with jon taffer, but at least a jon taffer lookalike

 

Dammnnnn that would be hilarious

 

Watching Mac's Banging the Waitress the other day, at the end where Dennis/Mac/Charlie agree to all be best friends and start rattling off famous trios they're like, there's this exchange:

Charlie: "The Three... Stooges!"
Dennis: "Uh, I don't want to be associated with those guys"

As a childhood Stooges fan, when I first watched IASIP, I instantly saw a connection that I really hadn't in any other modern comedy. Those first 5 seasons or so borrow so much from the Stooges, from the premise to the slapstick to several specific gags, that it could almost be considered an homage or modern remake. It's less that way in more recent seasons, but still there.

Anyway, I loved that exchange, and take it as an ironic acknowledgement of the massive/overt influence TTS had on the show. Everyone's first comparison is always Seinfeld, and no doubt they had a variety of influences, but I'd argue this one is the most dominant.

 

The scene where he says goodbye to his son really got me. Weird haha

 

Glenn is an excellent actor. He does a lot of heavy lifting in that scene haha
