How FX’s ItsAlwaysSunny took an unlikely path to TV history
The show has endured in part because of its willingness to push the boundaries of comedy. Topics lampooned on the series have included pedophilia, incest, racism, alcoholism, abortion and the gun debate — and that was just in Season 1. Its main characters all work at a fictional Philadelphia bar called Paddy’s Pub, where they engage in various schemes and illicit dealings for personal gain or simply to undermine each other.
“Always Sunny” has never been a favorite of the awards community. In fact, the show did an entire episode spoofing exactly that in its ninth season. The plot revolves around the gang trying to win the award for best bar in Philadelphia; the episode ends with Day’s character singing a song to awards voters in Paddy’s Pub that culminates with him belting out, “Go f–k yourselves,” and spitting on the bewildered patrons.Yet the series remains popular even after more than a decade.
“It was sort of that bullheaded attitude and being told, ‘You can’t do it that way,’ that emboldened us.”That early effort has clearly paid off, with all of the core cast members pursuing successful projects since the show began.
But one of the drawbacks of being on a series as successful as “Always Sunny” is that network executives are essentially expecting the same show when they hear about a new project.“Rob and I went through that with our Apple show,” Day says. “There’s always some expectation that they’re going to get ‘Sunny,’ but then there is always the hope that they are going to get us as a cast. ‘Sunny,’ beyond the writing, is us performing and the chemistry that we have together.
