Ken, TV Recommender

If you are here and reading this, I would like to think that in some form or another you either appreciate my viewpoint, or you are a kindly soul who has the time to humor me. I like both types of people. I have a few great loves in my life, and one of those great loves is television. I don't belong to a fantasy football league, I don't spend my weekends golfing all day, but I find pure joy in watching quality (and less than quality) television. The sheer breadth of television series of which I have seen every episode would shock and sadden you, but I am proud of my efforts.

With that in mind, I heartily encourage you with all of my amazing encouragement powers to watch the season premier of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia tonight on the FX television network at 10 pm. If you miss it at 10, I'm sure it will be regularly replayed for the next week, and you can catch new episodes on Thursday evenings for the next several weeks.

Many people who review the show say that it is full of "low brow, goofball laughs." I agree and disagree with that statement. The show does have some pretty low brow moments and goofball laughs, but it is so much more than that. They offensively deal with the issues of underage drinking, dumpster babies, dating special needs people, pretending to have cancer, setting each other on fire, and looking like a registered sex offender. On top of that, the show is entering its fourth season, so they gotta be doing something right (but that argument fails because According to Jim is entering its one millionth season). In the time I have available to me now I don't want to go too much into the plot of the show, but it is about four people (3 guys, 1 girl) and Danny DeVito who own a bar in Philly, and they are the most self-centered jerkstores in the universe. Hilarity ensues.

Frank
: Charlie, I need a woman. I need a woman to... to cook for me, and clean up after me, and somebody that will do everything I say.
Charlie
: Well, thats just a maid, you want a maid?
Frank
: Yeah, that's right, a maid. A maid I can bang.

Mac:
I do not even understand the smell coming from your body dude.
Charlie:
Oh my god dude relax dude I forgot to put on deodorant OK.
Mac:
I have never once, never once seen you wear deodorant Charlie never once.
Charlie:
Yeah well you never seen me once wash my testicles either but that doesn't mean I don't do it every Friday.

Happy watching!

This is kinda the last straw; heard this being praised so many times that I am not obtaining seasons 1-3 as I type.
