Earlier this year, Mac (Rob McElhenney), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) went back to school at Abbott Elementary. And this Summer, the teachers are going to Paddy’s Pub.
This season, which is also their 20th anniversary, “The Gang Embraces The Corporate Era:” The story of how greed and the New American Dream have consumed Paddy’s Pub.
They’ll exploit cross-network promotion to increase market share; they’ll scapegoat one of their own to avoid a PR backlash; they’ll risk everything for a handshake with the Saudis; they’ll bend the laws with side hustles to pad their pockets; and they’ll change everything about themselves to appeal to a broader audience.
And sure, like any corporate goon, the Gang craves money and parasitic social privileges. That’s been plain since 2005. But they’re also human beings. They crave love…respect…conditional freedom…constant adulation…histrionic amounts of attention… non-stop gratification…and unfiltered, slaphappy eroticism. They’ll chase down them all.
And the money. Obviously, the money. They don’t want to spend the rest of their lives working like dogs.
After 17 seasons and 20 years, I think they will be doing that until Danny DeVito is the last one standing. So that will be forever!
In 1988, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito played twins in the movie Twins. And since then, the brothers from other mothers and fathers have remained good friends.
So much so that when DeVito needed someone to present the Robards Award for Excellence to him yesterday at the Roundabout Theatre in New York City, Arnold was happy to do it!.
The Terminator wrote, “It didn’t matter that I filmed all day and had to throw on a jacket and hustle on stage. I had to be there, because he deserves to be celebrated.”
How sweet is that? Now, when are we finally going to get Triplets with Eddie Murphy already? I can’t be the only one who has a hunkering for it!
Over the summer, Quinta Brunson said that her sitcom, Abbott Elementary, is going to do a crossover with another show. However, she didn’t say which one it is.
Today, Rob McElhenney let the cat out of the bag and revealed via photos on social media that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the show about a bar, is going to get schooled.
How the two shows, which are based in Philly are going to come together, we do not know. But we know that McElhenney, Danny DeVito, Gleen Howerton, and Charlie Day will be attending class later this year.
I can’t wait to see the madness that ensues in this episode.
It has been 41 years since Taxi ended its run, but the cast still likes hanging out with one another. Case in point Carole Kane, Danny DeVito, and Tony Danza got together to see their friend Rhea Perlman in her Off-Broadway show Let’s Call Her Patty.
I have a theory that the reason why some series last in syndication for so long, like Taxi, is because the cast sincerely gets along. The viewers can feel their chemistry, and that is why we enjoy watching. And that is why we are still watching their sitcom after all of these decades. That, and because it was absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
