The Gang is back. Sex, Drugs, and Debauchery: Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 12.

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

shyt man, that was damn near a series finale

Reminds me of the season of Martin where he quit his job and ran off in the finale, then the next season he's in that weird ass temple

the man who sleeps on the floor cant fall out of bed

 

[Erratic415]

That really surprised me. I figured it Charlie ever hooked up with the waitress he'd end up being miserable because it just can't work out well for The Gang, but it still surprised me.

They really had some big moments and surprises in the last few episodes.

Mac comes out and stays out
Dennis has feelings
Dennis has a son and wants to raise him
Charlie finally bangs the Waitress

A lot of progression with the characters instead of them stuck in the same old shyt.

 

[Cadillac]

Thought this ep was a series finale

But its only a season finale

 

[Erratic415]

So how exactly did Charlie set this up wit leg the waitress this episode? He just called her and asked her over for this? This is gonna be the most idea they've ever written if this works for Charlie

I think the Waitress said that Charlie was paying for her by the minute to come over.

Charlie can be a genius with his diabolical plans. Mac Bangs Dennis's Mom is still my favorite episode. Although Frank fukked up Charlie's brilliant plan.

 

[ThaRealness]

That was an amazing episode

The ending had me

"dennis is his sex slave name"

the botched death

Dennis having to sleep by the dildo bike

Frank just trying to get some reasonably priced North Dakota ass

Every quote about eggs

They transitioning pretty well into a borderline serialized show. Everyone thought they'd go the serial killer route so they gave us a nice twist


They gonna dead the Dennis in North Dakota plot though. No way they go an entire season splitting Dennis up from the gang. shyt just wouldn't be that funny

 

[killacal]

the signature dances
the late gun shot

solid season my favorite episodes were Hero or Hate crime and Old lady house

Go for it
Go for it

 

[ThaRealness]

Actually, apparently Glenn Howerton said he's contemplating leaving the show

These dudes better not do the last 2 seasons without Dennis...

Hes low-key the funniest character... shyt wouldn't work...

Do a hiatus or something

 

[jay211]

Holy shyt. Dennis might leave the show. That would be terrible. They can't lose any members of the gang. If Dee can do The Mick and still stay on, Dennis should be able to do the same. He talks about it in the article below.

Glenn Howerton might be done with It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Mac really thought he and Dennis could still sleep in the same bed together . Made him a power bottom too .

Charlie finally getting with the waitress, was like Urkel finally getting with Laura

Frank offering up 5K to Dennis' baby mamma , only for the first time. "Price is less next time, because I already had you"

Dennis ready to do the right thing and become a father

What was up with Dee this episode though? She was acting real emotional at everything

Glenn Howerton May Leave 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' After Season 12

What creative sense would it make to get rid of Dennis???

“I want to service the show as best I can, and if we decide the best thing for the show is for Dennis to leave, or at least leave for a while for whatever reasons we come up with, then that’s what we’ll do. If we decide it really is best for the show for my character to come back in some capacity then that’s what we’ll do.”


However, Howerton said his decision won’t depend on whether his NBC pilot is picked up to series. He noted that his “Always Sunny” co-star, Olsen, plans to continue on Season 13 and 14 of “Sunny” while continuing on her new Fox series, “The Mick.”

real good interview here...


Is Glen Howerton Leaving 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'?

a few quotes....


- "We didn’t want to do something where Dennis died or anything like that, anything hokey. For my part, I’m just a big fan of subverting expectations whenever possible. It just makes for interesting drama, comedy, whatever you have it in entertainment. And in comedy, I have a great affinity for trying to surprise people and do the exact opposite of what people expect. In my mind, I like the idea of taking a character who we’ve built up to be potentially a serial killer and realize that it may be the exact opposite. He may be an extraordinarily fragile and emotional person who has created a shell around himself to try to protect himself."

- "I think that’s where it becomes challenging, where you realize we’ve seen Dennis rant and rave, we’ve seen him be too cool for school, seen him be unemotional, and it’s like how much further can we go with how sinister he is before it becomes too cartoonish? It’s just tough coming up with original ways to have stories bounce off our characters?"

- "I have my own ideas, and my own point of view about whether Dennis is or is not a serial killer, or whether he ever has committed a murder. I’d prefer to keep it vague. I think it’s more interesting to keep people guessing."

this may be a case of just creative differences. it seems like glenn howerton didn't really want dennis to end up being a sociopathic killer like everybody expected....even though he still left the door open to dennis really being a murderer, I don't think he ever wanted it to be known. maybe rob and charlie were cool with dennis going crazier and crazier with every season and glenn just wasn't feelin it. I mean, he created the character so I guess it's his right to end it how he wants.

but to me, dennis' downward spiral was one of the best things about the show. his psycho moments were legendary. but you could tell they really toned him down this season. he didn't really have many dark moments this season. to be honest, i'm good on seeing dennis being some high on life family man. I think rob is the real genius behind the show and they'll make things work either way. dennis is my favorite character but they're all strong in their own way. I could see glenn taking a season or two off then coming back for the final season. wouldn't be surprised if they add another actor to the show next year. I think flipping the tables with the charlie/waitress story was a good idea. could be funny seeing the waitress stalk charlie around. they still got a lot of options. glenn howerton also said there's gonna be a long hiatus before season 13, so we prolly gonna have to wait over a year for next season

also, patton oswalt and glenn howerton in a comedy together. that could be epic

 

[Hrcules]

Just finished watching the ep and came to thecoli fast to see if it was a series finale

It just woulndt be the same

At this point if anyone from the gang leaves, the show becomes totally different
