It's Almost Always Sunny in Philadelphia

 

I read Kimberly Potts' book about the Brady Bunch and enjoyed it, and since I like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" I thought I would give this one a whirl. 

It was pretty good. Hard to believe the show has been on for 20 years! I went back and rewatched a few of the early episodes and my God, they all look so young, even Danny DeVito. Of course so did I in 2005. 

At any rate, some of the episodes she talked about as being fan favorites aren't necessarily my favorites. I understand why a lot of people enjoy them, I just don't like them as much. About 2/3 of the way through the book she went on a multipage diatribe against Jerry Seinfeld, who apparently had the audacity to claim he's never seen the show, doesn't watch much current TV, and thinks TV comedies peaked when his show was on in the '90s. Um, okay? Not sure why I'm supposed to care what Jerry Seinfeld thinks or why she seems to care so much. It was just weird and felt out of place. Other than that it was a decent read.
