What do you think of FX's ...

Question: What do you think of FX's comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? I find it refreshing and hilarious. A great way to make up for the sad reality that Arrested Development will never air again!
Answer: I welcomed the show back for its second season with a short notice in my review column, and while I wouldn't dream of comparing Philly to an inspired pinnacle of twisted genius like Arrested Development, I do appreciate its nasty sense of anything-goes humor and its low-key, low-budget, unassuming grunginess. Adding a little star power with Danny DeVito's character doesn't hurt. He seems to be having a great time getting down and dirty with these unrepentant goofs.
