Youtube No More Super Bowls For That Pretty Boy Always Sunny Mac

Giants' Eli Manning-Odell Beckham Jr. 'Dirty Dancing' spoof grabs spotlight; advertisers sought to keep spots tame, non-controversial. As always the largest advertiser during the game.

• • • • • Will he or won’t he? Ever since ’s A.P. Bio was picked up by NBC, speculation has abounded about Howerton would return to play Dennis for the upcoming 13th season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The uncertainty was only compounded when Dennis decided to move to Nebraska at the end of It’s Always Sunny season 12. Well, fret not: During an appearance at the TCA summer press tour on Friday, It’s Always Sunny cast members Charlie Day, Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, and Kaitlin Olson revealed that Howerton will in fact appear in a “majority” of next season’s episodes. (Read: ) “We went through all sorts of ideas before we knew that Glenn was coming back,” McElhenney revealed (via ).

“He’s in pretty much every episode.” Day added that the show’s writers got creative with ways to shoot around Howerton’s absence, such as doing an all-female reboot of a past episode of the series. Season 13 of It’s Always Sunny premieres September 5th on FX. The official plot synopsis reads as follows: “Even without Dennis Reynolds, the Gang has its hands full as Charlie hopes to have a child with The Waitress, Mac sets out to understand his newfound sexuality, Dee takes feminism to new heights, and Frank goes to great lengths for the Gang to experience the greatest moment in Philadelphia sports history – an Eagles Super Bowl victory.

At the end of Season 11 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the gang drowned in the brig of a cruise ship and went to hell. Ten months later, at the start of Season 12, they were back in Philadelphia, very much alive and trapped inside a Wiz-like musical about racism in “The Gang Turns Black.” In 12 seasons, Always Sunny has never been concerned with narrative continuity — hammering home the main point of the show, that this group of people is incapable of growing or learning, has always been more important. If Always Sunny wrote itself into a corner, it just hit the restart button. But in the Season 12 finale, Dennis (Glenn Howerton) turning off the lights and walking out of Paddy’s Pub like he was Sam in Cheers feels different.

The mother of Dennis’s love child hails from North Dakota; the two met and had sex when Dennis bailed on the gang’s trip to L.A. In “The Gang Beats Boggs.” Dennis’s name in his second life is Brian LeFevre, the moniker of the man who was murdered () outside of Paddy’s in “Frank’s Back in Business.” A Thunder Gun Express poster can be seen at one point.

At the end of the finale, Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love” plays (recall: ) while Mac, Charlie, Frank, and Dee break out signature dance moves from past episodes. The episode is like a retirement party, and it’s hard not to take Dennis seriously when he says, “I can’t do any of this shit anymore.” Plus, Howerton himself said he might be leaving. “It’s a little complicated,” he Alan Sepinwall hours before the finale aired. “I might be [leaving], but I might not be  It has nothing to do with my relationship to anyone on the show or Rob [McElhenney] or Charlie [Day] or anyone like that.

It’s partially a creative and personal decision.” Just as these comments from Howerton came out (he also gave a similar interview to ), reported that Howerton had been tapped to star alongside Patton Oswalt in an NBC pilot produced by Lorne Michaels and Seth Meyers. I can’t believe I’m writing this, but Dennis might actually be gone. And with two seasons still to come, Sunny fans might actually need to get used to seeing the rest of the gang without their vain, sociopathic friend. Related In most episodes, Dennis plays Sunny’s straight man, the character who yanks his hair out when Mac or Charlie gives in to his absurd instincts, the one who admonishes Frank for dating a prostitute or frankly tells Dee that her acting dreams died years ago. He’s smarter than the rest of the group and ostensibly more attractive (though not more well-adjusted), but instead of finding a more appropriate group of peers, he preferred to slum it with the gang and feed his self-righteousness. If he’s gone — if there’s no one around to judge the other four — it’d make sense for the group to get even weirder, grosser, and more oblivious to societal norms.
