(S03E02) You may have never seen
Invincible, but you know what it's about. Schmo off the street tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles. Odds are against the schmo. Everyone tells schmo he's fooling himself. Schmo makes the team, despite the odds, and plays in the NFL. Schmo is triumphant. We've seen the formula a million times.
Only the story behind
Invincible really happened, since it was the story of Vince Papale, who played for the Eagles in the seventies. So what if every lunk with some tidbit of football skill came away from the movie thinking
they could make the Eagles? That's what the crew from Paddy's is going to find out.
(S03E01) The gang at Paddy's Pub is back for another season of mayhem, and not a minute too soon. When you think about it, this show is fairly review-proof; there are no deep messages or important storylines on
It's Always Sunny. It's just five people with no conscience wreaking havoc and making everyone laugh. The show is going to be uneven, often with one of the plots in an episode working better than the other. But, to me, this show is on the same level as
Married... With Children was: It may not be high art, but it's so damn funny you don't care.
In the third season premiere, Mac and Dee take care of a baby the gang finds in a dumpster, Dennis becomes an environmentalist hippie (don't worry, he's still the evil yuppie he's always been... more on that later), and Frank and Charlie look for treasures in the trash.
