It was created by Rob McElhenney, who adult information technology with Glenn Howerton. Information technology is executive produced and primarily written by McElhenney, Howerton, and Charlie Mean solar day, all of whom star alongside Kaitlin Olson and Danny DeVito.

The series' 14th flavour concluded in Nov 2019. The series was renewed for a 15th season in May 2020, which, afterward it premiered on December 1, 2021,[half dozen] [7] gave it more seasons than any other American live-activity one-act series, replacing The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, which ran for xiv seasons between 1952 and 1966.[6] [8] In December 2020, the series was renewed for a total of four additional seasons, bringing it to xviii seasons.[9]

The prove has received critical acclaim, with many lauding the cast performances and dark humor. It has amassed a big cult following.[x]

Premise [edit]

The series follows "The Gang", a grouping of v misfit friends: twins Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Deandra "(Sweet) Dee" Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), their friends Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day) and Ronald "Mac" McDonald (Rob McElhenney), and (from season two onward) Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito), Dennis' and Dee's legal male parent. The Gang runs the fictional Paddy's Pub, an unsuccessful Irish bar in Due south Philadelphia.

Each fellow member of "The Gang" displays unethical behavior and traits such every bit excessive drinking and substance utilise, dishonesty, cruelty, selfishness, and egotism. Episodes usually observe them hatching elaborate schemes and often conspiring against i another and others for personal proceeds, vengeance, or simply the entertainment of watching another'south downfall. They habitually inflict mental, emotional, and physical pain on each other and anyone who crosses their path. They also regularly apply blackmail to manipulate ane another and others outside of the group.

The Gang's unity is never solid, and they will quickly dump whatever of the others for a quick profit or personal proceeds regardless of the consequences. Despite this, they ultimately render to their usual group dynamic due to their toxic codependency. Everything they practice results in contention among themselves and much of the show's dialogue involves the characters arguing or yelling at one another. Despite their lack of success or achievements in life, they maintain high opinions of themselves and display an obsessive involvement in their reputations and public images.

The Gang has no sense of shame when attempting to get what they desire and often engage in activities that others would find humiliating, icky, or shocking. Some of these situations include: condign addicted to fissure cocaine and pretending to be mentally challenged in order to qualify for welfare; attempted cannibalism; kidnapping; blackface; hiding naked within a couch in society to eavesdrop on people; tricking a man into giving his daughter a lap dance; forcing each other to eat inedible items; huffing paint; foraging naked in the sewers for rings and coins; impersonating law officers in guild to get costless goods and extort civilians; sleeping with each other's romantic interests; seducing a priest; secretly feeding someone their dead pet; plugging their open wounds with trash; grave robbing; setting a room full of people on burn down and locking the door to avert an uncomfortable Thanksgiving repast; stalking their crushes; fantasizing near killing each other; taking out life insurance on a suicidal person; orally siphoning gasoline; and pretending to have AIDS in guild to get priority access to water park rides—among many other scenarios.

During the Season seven episode "The Gang Gets Trapped," in which The Gang breaks into a family's home and has to hide from them when they return, an angry monologue by Dennis captures the essence of The Gang's modus operandi:

Nosotros immediately escalate everything to a ten... somebody comes in with some preposterous programme or idea, and so all of a sudden anybody's on the gas, nobody's on the brakes, nobody'southward thinking, everyone'south only talking over each other with one idiotic idea later on another! Until, finally, we notice ourselves in a situation where we've broken into somebody's house – and the homeowner is home!

Except for sure rare occasions, Paddy's Pub does not exercise well financially. There are often just a few customers inside at a time, if any, and those present sometimes "appear to be serving themselves." Passersby avert the bar considering of the numerous stabbings (and deaths) that have occurred there. The Gang has been known to shut Paddy's for extended periods without warning. When the bar is open, they shirk their corresponding jobs' responsibilities and choose to drink instead. Paddy's is able to stay in business considering of Frank's financial backing; he earned his money through myriad illicit ways such as running a sweatshop in Vietnam, backstairs dealings with shady and pulp characters, also as various bogus businesses he started as a young man, regime bailouts, and even tax fraud. In addition, coin is saved through paying Dee less than minimum wage, and, at one bespeak, "getting some slaves."

Production [edit]

The filming location of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Exterior shots of Paddy'south Pub are shot at the Starkman Building on 544 Mateo Street in Los Angeles.

Charlie Solar day, Glenn Howerton, and Rob McElhenney first met one an other while auditioning for Constrict Everlasting [13] and other projects in New York City and, afterwards, in Los Angeles — they were going up for similar parts, moved to Los Angeles around the aforementioned time and even had the same director Nick Frenkel.[14] Day and Howerton, notably, got to know each other on a car ride back from testing for That '80s Show in belatedly 2001, when Howerton was cast as Corey Howard and Mean solar day did not become the part of his best friend.[13] While living in New York, Twenty-four hours had been making comedic dwelling house movies with Jimmi Simpson, Nate Mooney, David Hornsby and Logan Marshall-Green,[13] his friends from the Williamstown Theatre Festival, many of whom would afterward go on to be involved with Sunny, which inspired McElhenney and Howerton to want to make brusque films of their own with him. McElhenney, in particular, had been writing screenplays between jobs and since none of them were picked upwardly, decided to shoot them himself with Howerton, 24-hour interval and other role player friends.[15] The determination to make their own short films was further influenced by the release of the affordable Panasonic DVX100A digital camera also as the accessible, depression-upkeep look of The Function (Britain) and Curb Your Enthusiasm.[thirteen]

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia grew out of an thought for a short moving picture conceived late one nighttime past McElhenney "where a friend came over to another friend's firm to get sugar, and the friend tells him he has cancer, and all the guy can think about is getting his sugar and getting out of in that location."[16] He wrote the scene down earlier taking it to Howerton the side by side day to flesh it out and work on making it comedic. Day was soon roped in and the starting time script was written, featuring three struggling actors in LA named Charlie, Glenn and Mac, and the ensuing awkwardness effectually Charlie'southward cancer diagnosis. The abode movies were shot and reshot multiple times, initially with Hornsby playing the Mac character and McElhenney behind the camera as director. It was via this process that McElhenney, Day and Howerton learnt the basics of shooting, editing and other aspects of film-making.[17] The three then developed a second "episode" of their home movie serial, this time focused on the cringe humour from Mac's sense of shame around his relationship with Carmen, a transgender woman.[15] At this bespeak, information technology became articulate that the dwelling movies had potential as a television serial, instead of the short films they were envisioned every bit originally. Both parts would eventually end upwardly in the episode "Charlie Has Cancer".

The home moving picture was titled Information technology'due south E'er Sunny on TV after the a-ha song "The Sun Always Shines on T.5.". Howerton had been listening to the album Hunting High and Low (1985) while stretching at a Crisis gym in Westward Hollywood.[xviii] It was afterwards changed to reverberate that, in the unaired pilot, the gang had been rewritten every bit bar owners in Philadelphia, instead of actors in LA.

This was then developed into a airplane pilot called It's Always Sunny on TV and was shot on a digital camcorder[19] and filmed in the actors' own apartments.[20] They expanded the central bandage to iv people living in Los Angeles, "a group of best friends who care so petty for each other," Howerton said.[16]

Information technology was believed the pilot was shot with a upkeep of just $200, but Day would later comment, "We shot it for zip...I don't know where this $200 came from...We were a bunch of kids with cameras running effectually shooting each other and [the] adjacent matter you know, we're xi years in and nosotros're notwithstanding doing the show."[21] This pilot was shopped by the actors around various studios, their pitch being only showing the DVD of the airplane pilot to executives.[xix] After viewing the airplane pilot, FX Network ordered the first flavor. The testify was budgeted at $450,000 an episode, less than a third of a network standard, using Panasonic'south DVX100 MiniDV prosumer video camera.[xix] The original concept had "the gang" existence out-of-piece of work actors with the theme song being a cha-cha version of "Hooray for Hollywood";[22] however there were as well many shows at the time with a similar premise.[16] "The network came to u.s. and said, 'Nosotros don't want a show about actors,' and we said, 'Fine, allow's put information technology somewhere else,'" McElhenney explained. "I'm from Philly, let'southward put it in Philly, and we'll go far near a bar, because that'southward a job where you can have lots of free time and notwithstanding take income that could explain how these people tin can sustain themselves."[sixteen] Prior to Kaitlin Olson joining the show, the character Sweet Dee was originally played by Jordan Reid, who at the time was the girlfriend of McElhenney, but was recast after they broke upwardly.[23]

Later the beginning season, FX executives were worried about the show's low ratings and demanded that changes be made to the cast.[24] "Then, John Landgraf, who's the president of FX, he chosen me in for a meeting and was similar, 'Hey, no 1's watching the prove, but nosotros love it,'" McElhenney recalled. "'We wanna keep it on, just we don't take any coin for marketing, and we demand to add somebody with some panache that we can hopefully parlay into some public relations story, just so we can get people talking.'"[24] FX began suggesting actors such every bit Danny DeVito that could boost the prove's profile. "It's not that we were reticent to the idea of adding Danny to the show," Howerton recalled, "Information technology's that nosotros were reticent to add a name to the prove. Y'all know, because we kinda liked that we were no-names and it was this weird, minor thing, you know." Initially, McElhenney refused, maxim "No, I just don't call up we wanna do that, and they were similar, 'Oh OK, well, you know...the show's over.'" Realizing they needed to modify the trajectory of the prove to delight the network, McElhenney, Howerton, and 24-hour interval became open to adding a new cast member who was familiar to the public. However, McElhenney, Howerton, and Mean solar day were hesitant at first since they thought they would 'ruin the prove', especially Day. (according to the Sunny Side Up DVD sectional). Devito subsequently joined the cast in the first episode of the second season, playing the father of Dennis and Dee.[24]

The show is shot in both Philadelphia and Los Angeles. The outside of Paddy'due south Pub is located at the Starkman Building on 544 Mateo Street in Los Angeles.

On April one, 2016, the series was renewed for a thirteenth and fourteenth season, which matched The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet with the most seasons for a live-action sitcom in American telly history.[25] On April nine, 2020, McElhenney appear that writing had begun for the fifteenth flavor.[26] Filming for the season began in May 2021 and wrapped that Oct.[27] [28]

Music [edit]

The bear witness uses recurring orchestral production music selections. "We had a music supervisor chosen Ray Espinola and we said, 'Give us everything yous take in a sort of Leave It to Beaver with a big band-swing kind of feel,' and the majority of the songs are from what he sent over," Charlie Day explained. "When you prepare it against what these characters were doing—which often times tin be perceived equally quite despicable, or wrong—it actually disarmed the audience. It just became our go-to library of songs."[22] The theme vocal is called "Temptation Sensation" by German composer Heinz Kiessling. Kiessling's work ("On Your Bike" and "Blue Claret") can also be heard during diverse scene transitions throughout the show, forth with other composers and pieces such as Werner Tautz ("Off Broadway"), Joe Brook ("Moonbeam Kiss"), and Karl Grell ("Honey Bunch").
