Seriously? OMG! WTF?

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!

It’s Always Sunny returns to Hulu on July 20th.

ABC loves learning the ABCs from Abbott Elementary so much that they picked it up for a fifth season today.

The sitcom is the network’s most buzzed show, after 9-1-1, and one of the few that get Emmy nominations, so it makes sense.

Plus, it is getting help in the ratings from the premiere of Tim Allen’s Shifting Gears and the crossover event episode with the cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

UPDATE: ABC was in a good mood today because they also picked up High Potential for a second season. The police procedural, which stars Kaitlin Olson, has been doing great since its premiere. Therefore, this decision makes a lot of sense.

I wonder how many more seasons Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito can do this craziness for. I hope they go until at least 21. It should last long enough to celebrate being old enough to drink.

Let’s be honest, a lot of men like watching two women go at it. Well for Rob McElhenney, he might be able to get to see his wife, Kaitlin Olson, do just that. Well in Fox safe for broadcast TV sort of way. That is because he is a producing a pilot starring Leah Remini and his wife will be her wife.

If the pilot gets picked up, it is slated to air sometime next year. But with a story being about a conservative woman, who lives in the house with her new wife and 2 boys while her husband stays in her garage, how can they not pick it up?

I am sure McElhenney is writing a lot of kissing scenes as we speak! Can anyone blame him?

If you thought that last week’s sex scene between a blob and a human on The Orville was the strangest thing you were going to see on Fox this month, you were so wrong. Tonight’s The Mick on Fox at 9p, will shock you and shock you again until they do something that will make scream Jesus’ full name. Once you get the “st” out, you will be laughing so hard that you will be in pain. Then you will watch it all over and over and over again.

Before we get to that moment, let me tell what you the episode is about. BTW did I tell you it is the best one of the show’s run so far? It is like they threw caution into wind and whatever the censors let them get away with, they did. And they get away with a lot.

Back to the episode, Mickey (Kaitlin Olson) takes Sabrina (Sofia Black-D’Elia), Chip (Thomas Barbusca) and Ben (Jack Stanton) to their great grandmother’s 100th birthday party, but their grandmother won’t let the 4 of them plus Alba (Carla Jimenez) and Jimmy (Scott MacArthur) in to the party. When their great grandmother sees Mickey, she thinks she is an old friend from Coral Gables. Therefore, she lets them stay for the party. In fact, she asks them all to stay for the weekend. Since evil grandma is going away, they invite themselves over. What is the worst that can happen? It happens and it does not stop happening. You just have to see it to believe because I saw it and I do not believe it. But that does not mean you will not laugh until your pants are soaking wet. It is so wrong and yet so so so right.

In other words, I am preparing you for an episode that is one of the funniest half hours of television so far.

If you want to watch something more serious, then tonight’s This Is Us on NBC at 9p is for you. For the first time in the show’s run, the episode will be just about Kevin.

It has been a few days since Kevin (Justin Hartley) broke up with Sophie at her doorstep. He has been staying at a hotel and has not left his room since he got there. All he has been doing is drinking in that room. Until he gets a phone call that he is getting honored at his high school the next day.

He heads back home, and being their brings back memories with his father (Milo Ventimilgia). The good times they had when he was playing football and the bad one he had when he broke his knee during the game.

That is the past, his present is spiraling down faster than the Titanic went under. He is a star at his alma mater and they have him up on a pedestal. But we can see he is at his lowest. He is calling out for help, but no one is listening. Will anyone finally hear him?

It all comes to a conclusion that will set up for next week’s episode that is all about Kate (Chrissy Metz). Then the Big Three event concludes the following week with an episode that is all about Randall (Sterling K Brown).

One more note about tonight’s episode, I have never seen Hartley act as masterfully as he does tonight. He gives the performance of a lifetime and then some. The Emmy people will have to recognize him for this episode because it is that phenomenal. There is one scene that will rip your heart out as you get to see what his character is all about it. This is a must not miss episode, so don’t miss it.
