It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV) - 3 stars

I can't decide if this show gets funnier or worse the more that I watch it. I think the answer is that it's funny if you watch it about once a month. It's abrasive and the characters dumb and narcissistic. However, there is something to be said for over-the-top brash comedy.

Danny DiVito plays a familiar character - over-confident weirdo/loser. He co-owns a bar with 2 of his kids and their friend. Part of the joke is that nobody is ever in the bar. They are all just drinking their inventory and coming up with get rich schemes or revenge schemes, or get the girl in bed schemes.
