Bobfromsales posted:Most comedies produce twice as many episodes in a year. Do we even know for sure that Curb is finished? I seem to remember hearing that Larry David just kind of gets the urge to pick it up back up sporadically, leaving 2-3 year gaps between seasons. Fake edit: Wikipedia confirms, Wikipedia posted:On an episode of Jeff Garlin's podcast, "By The Way, In Conversation with Jeff Garlin," while talking with filmmaker and political activist Michael Moore, Garlin expressed doubt about a ninth season, saying he was optimistic that it would happen but had softened his expectations after not having heard anything about it for some time. Garlin added that if a ninth season happened it wouldn't be "anytime soon" and "not in the next year."[13] On July 17, 2013, Garlin, in regards to a ninth season, said, "I hope so. It looks good. But I won't even say very good, just good, but I hope so... I'm hoping sometime in 2014."[14] On July 25, 2013, at the Television Critics Association press tour, David said in regards to a ninth season, replied "I have not [decided]. I don't know. I really don't know. I couldn't say. Ask me in six months."[15] I miss that show.

Yeah, I'm in the underwhelmed camp. I still love this show, and to expect every episode to be classic status would be unfair. Episodes I'm not crazy about just make the really good ones even better. I'm glad others liked it, though!

Yeah, I dunno...I guess it just felt...unbelievable? Like they were trying too hard or something. This show is not known for it's realism by any stretch of the imagination, but I just had a hard time buying any of it. Frank on not just one TV station, but multiple broadcast interviews? The principal from season 6 not instantly throwing Mac and Charlie out on sight? Dennis and Dee screaming about shooting innocent people in a gun shop and nobody bats an eye? "Realistic" expectations like that are exactly what made the season opener so funny, because at first things seemed unbelievable, then they brought it back at the last minute in a final turn. Another episode that does this was the McPoyle Wedding episode from last season, where the McPoyles were being crazy, but then you find out it was because their milk-punch was spiked with bath salts. I think Sunny's at its funniest when it's crushing the Gang with harsh realities. And like I said, it got laughs from me, but it's not one I'll watch over and over again like Mac's Big Break or Who Got Dee Pregnant.

Nate RFB posted:If they were trying to be realistic the gang would have been in jail or dead by season 2. I get that...which is why I put realistic in quotation marks. It's not the exact term to describe what I'm talking about, but "crushed by harsh reality" is a little closer. Frank on TV was just too out there for me to accept, especially accompanied by not-so-closeted pedo Jack Kelly.

This episode kind of reminded me of "The Gang Recycles Their Trash". It was funny in its own right, but made even funnier for long time fans of the show with a little bit of extra knowledge. I was dying when Mac was rehearsing lines with Dee and Dennis. "I came at you hard..." and then his whole cooldown after he flies off the handle.

I loved Dennis using his pillow scream right after being forced to chant Mac's name. He's so self-centered he just can't take it. I kind of wish we could have seen a pillow scream from each member of the gang at some point, but I suppose that way it may have gotten old.

I thought Mac and Dee's segments were the best. Everybody saw Mac disarming the robber and being a total badass, but going from that to fighting off ninjas Steven Seagal Style, along with the gravelly voice and "puns" was so over the top it was amazing. That close up half shrug when Dee gets shot is totally gif-worthy. I'm sure Rob McElhenney was excited about airing this episode right after Mac Day, in which he was constantly cuckolded in badassatry by Country Mac. In this episode he gets to be a badass...even if it was in the form of a dream sequence. And basically every time Butler Dee opened her mouth was gold.

I loved this one. Dennis slayed me as usual, getting upset that the gang was interrupting his dramatic pauses and being super critical of their singing. Motownphilly tying the whole episode was a stroke of genius...and frankly they didn't sound half bad! I have a theory. For those of you who didn't like this episode, did you like Gun Fever Too: Still Hot?

I liked this one. The Gang locking all of their unsuspecting acquaintances in a burning apartment felt...right, somehow. Especially when you start to hear them starting to panic on the other side of the door as "Happy Thanksgiving" writes itself across the screen in cursive. Yesterday I had this song stuck in my head and starting singing it to myself...then I turn on the TV and it's playing during a Sunny promo on FXX!

For a song I've never heard before it's extremely familiar. Not sure...I can't even tell if I first heard the song during the promo or somewhere else. Although honestly I feel like I recognize that song from the 80's, so it may be that it just has that quality of familiarity to it. Good song either way!

Holy poo poo that was funny. - We have a gif of the McPoyles and the landlord dancing, but I'd love a gif of the gang dancing right before that...maybe one that goes back and forth between the two shots, even. - Dennis's speech "It wasn't about apologizing to each other, uuuu..."

Sartana had a great point earlier in the thread that I elaborated on a bit. This theory is more about why some people love one episode that others hate and vice versa, but it also supports a theory that this show uses a lot of different types of humor, hence a wide and varied fan base. In my opinion, people who don't like Sunny either haven't seen the right episode for them yet, or they find it offensive.

Chocolate posted:In season 9 the episode where Frank gets stuck in the coil (Mac and Dennis buy a timeshare?) the whole thing was absolute gold. When they are talking about why Frank got caught in the coil in the first place and they come to the conclusion that he was going down their to "pound off" I died. That was one of the funniest moments I've ever seen on television. It just culminates the whole Frank experience so perfectly for me. Season 9 was very funny but the whole pace too it just made me sad. They are just trying to tie up loose ends because the series is ending soon. (Signed through 10 with FXX or whatever the gently caress it is) Not just pound off...but "Pound off in the night"

I agree that Glenn is the best actor of the group, and I totally disagree that Kaitlin's the worst; I think she's fantastic. I actually think Danny DeVito does the worst acting in this show (Let me finish!) There are a few scenes even as early as season 5 where you can tell he doesn't quite know his lines or the context of the scene. He's getting pretty old and from what I've heard DeVito is becoming more and more like Frank Reynolds as the show continues. This is not meant to say that I don't enjoy Frank, or even DeVito's portrayal of him...that kind of acting style and delivery is part of what makes Frank so great. Rob is probably the weakest actor, but still insanely funny in the role. Plus he's one of the best at reacting to other's lines, which is one of my favorite parts of watching Sunny, especially on a rewatch. Seriously, go back and watch the scene in Who Pooped the Bed where they go to the college to get the turd examined. Pick a different character to focus on each time you watch it and just watch them react to one another's lines, or focus on that character's lines when the whole group talks. They all do a fantastic job of staying true to their own character while also not distracting from the story. drat, January 14th can't get here soon enough.

Sand Monster posted:At the risk of over analyzing the show, I had a question after a recent viewing of "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth": Charlie has taken a job as a janitor at the school, and is very proud that the kids are calling him "The Professor". My reaction is that it's a sarcastic jibe at him, since he's a janitor who eats oranges out of the trash, but the kids seem sincere about it when they're greeting him. Any thoughts? Yeah, I think it's sincere. Just try to imagine having Charlie Kelly as your high school janitor, I think you'd probably enjoy seeing having him around for the entertainment factor.

I also legitimately liked when Wade Boggs showed up and taught Charlie that hanging out and having a good time is not everything; it feels good to win. It's nice to see Charlie, or any member of the gang really, try at something and succeed, even if the challenge itself is a bit dubious.

Now that I think about it, she probably just did it by starving herself for a few days. Though tbh I was disappointed we didn't get any gagging noises, and this coming from someone who usually doesn't like when they fall back too much on past gags. (pun intended)

Brock Samson posted:This feels like an older ep. Not in a bad way. Totally thought this while watching. There was something about it that felt very season 6 which is one of my favorites. I think it was all the scheming and backstabbing. Also, a weird thought I also had during the ep. Another reason I think it felt "classic" was because it seemed like each character had strong agency. Some episodes (some of the best, even) include the entire gang totally wrapped up in one idea, and the action all happens in a day or so. But in this episode, as well as most my favorites, you'll see one of the characters doing something normal in their own apartment just living their lives before another member of the gang busts in all hot. I think that feels more relatable to me. They don't exist just to do crazy poo poo 24/7, it just sort of happens to them as they live their lives. I don't know if that makes any sense.
