(GUEST POST) Comic-Con: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

By Kevin Taylor (@tayke2)

We ended the looonggg but awesome weekend with the Always Sunny panel, which was a great way for me to end it because it is easily one of my favorite shows. The whole cast was there, which is Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olsen (who must be at least 7 months preggers), Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Danny Devito, and Mary Elizabeth Ellis. They were also joined by David Hornsby, who plays Rickety Cricket. He was in the crowd, but was convinced by the crows chanting his name to come up to the panel. They started off by showing us an episode from the upcoming season which starts in September. It was “Who Got Dee Pregnant?” and it was about the gang piecing together the night of Halloween, where Dee says one of them got her pregnant. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say that I’m very excited for the upcoming season. The highlights of the Q&A were Charlie and Dennis singing the Nightman song. They also hinted that they would love to have Dolph Lundgren guest star, which would be pretty awesome, especially since it's filmed in the city where Rocky was. It was Always Sunny’s first time at Comic Con, and I can say that based on the crowd reception they got that they will probably come back, or at least I hope. It really is one of the best written and acted shows on TV, and it says a lot because it is just the 5 main actors going through their daily lives and it never gets old to me.

  1. Good post, KT. However, the nerd in me must point out that Sunny came to the Con two years ago. They showed the "Manhunters" episode and were only a bit more serious about answering questions (it was just Charlie, Rob, and Glenn). Plus Damon Lindelof as the moderator!
