Wow. This was one of Sunny's saddest, most dysfunctional episodes yet. And it had nothing to do with the fact that Dennis was being mistaken for a sex offender. That was actually the lighter part of the storyline, I thought. I know it’s being played for laughs, but it’s tough not to feel sorry for Charlie and Mac and how much they each want a father figure. But let's get on to the fun!So it starts off with the gang having some innocent fun as Mac videotapes Charlie trying to set the world’s record for holding his breath. I thought the best part about the opening scene was seeing how much physical discomfort Charlie experiences when he has to listen to someone speak for a long period of time. As the woman explains why she’s handing out fliers about the sex offender who has moved into the neighbor (and is a chubby ringer for Dennis), Charlie is literally squirming and pleading with her to wrap it up. Besides Dennis’ problem of looking like the sex offender, a ...

The Gang Finds a Dumpster BabyIt’s good to have Sunny back for a third season and in fine form with the premiere episode. To help you get further in the mood for the new season, check out Anthony Layser’s interview with Rob McElhenney. Thanks to Dennis (Glenn Howerton) being inspired by An Inconvenient Truth, the whole gang tries to do good in their own way, yet somehow no good comes of it: a revenge plan (involving sex, drugs and a bulldozed tree), a kidnapping and baby painting. This wasn't what Al Gore intended.I thought Dee (Kaitlin Olson) and Mac’s part of the story was the best and funniest. As much as they wanted to take care of DB, that desire pretty much ended as soon as he (was it a "he"? Dumpster Baby is one of those gender-neutral names that are all the rage) let out his first cry, turning Mac into a stereotypical nightmare dad. He just wants beer in the fridge and for Dee to keep the kid quiet. But just when it looked bleakest for DB as they eyed a trash ...
