    As usual, the improvised feel of the show adds to its energy.

    Not all of the show’s demented comic gambits work, but Sunny gets points for inventiveness, and all things considered, the show is far more consistently entertaining than it was in its first couple of seasons.

    Somehow, this ridiculous show manages to entertain us without any semblance of character development or the remotest whiff of a familiar, relatable scenario.

    At some point, the gang on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will no longer be able to top itself, no longer do or say things that are even more wrong than the last thing they said or did. It hasn't happened yet.

    Thank goodness for Danny DeVito, whose total commitment to this insanity often makes the unbelievable just believable enough to be funny.

Much like The Simpsons each episode is almost virtually self contained and regardless of what happens everything is always back to normal by the following instalment. This allows the writers freedom to put the characters in
    pretty much any situation they wish (up to and including becoming kidnappers and hunting a homeless person) and this fourth season sees the show at its absolute best with jokes landing at a relentlessly pace fast pace and excellent performances from all involved.

    Pretty good season, but there are a few forgettable episodes. Most episodes are great though! ! !
