Agree, after the Home Alone montage I found myself fast forwarding the show which is the first time I have done so in all of the seasons.

My only beef was that there was a disturbing lack of Joe Pesci
Harry & Marv being the 2 guys trying to get into the bar would have made it perfect.
The two chumps that showed up were close enough to get the idea.
I thought the 2nd half of the super bowl episode was pretty great. Season finale next week.
Really? I feel like this season just started. Damn.expresswrittenconsent said:

Does the second half just not show up at all or do you start the episode off and it's the same as the first? Because they start off exactly the same.

Part 2 isn't showing up on my DVR or on demand
I'm not familiar with that service, but several networks delay an episode for a few days/1week, but FX never does - they have new eps streaming as they air live. So if you cant get it your normal way, try logging into FX app and watching.
Same here on DirecTV.third coast.. said:

Mac's dance thing at the end was insane. Really great
Was that the season finale?
Yes.
What a bizarre end but it fits the mold of sunny with a theatrical performance. I feel like they ran out of collab time and just had to put something together mainly with Rob and Devito
The ending just perfectly threaded the needle for me humor wise. Just as I was about to start getting annoyed, they did certain things that made me start laughing at the whole scene.

I love the series but was really hoping for a better season finale.
Was really hoping Cricket would say something about hips and nips when he was dancing.
WhIle the dance scene was pretty impressive and it's obvious they put a lot of time and effort into that, I will give that whole finale a huge meh. This season was very hit or miss for me. That finale was all miss.
Very disappointing season.
Hoping AP Bio gets cancelled
yeah, overall episode had nothing that wanted you to watch. Just the bizarre ending was entertaining enough.
Overall I agree the season was up and down.
And no way am I hoping AP Bio gets canceled. Always Sunny has been a show that still provides laughs but is way past its prime and will never regain its former glory...and that's ok.
AP Bio is a strong show that could turn into a fantastic comedy early in its run.

I haven't watched AP Bio. I just assume network TV sucks unless I hear otherwise, and I hadn't heard anything about it other than Glenn Howerton was in it.
This season proved how critical having a Dennis character is to the dynamic. Every character has their own level of psychosis with Dennis playing the straight man foil... until he goes off the deep end. Having Dennis as a somewhat sane viewpoint is necessary to contrast their collective weirdness.
The episodes this season with Dennis in them were excellent. The episodes where they were working around scheduling conflicts left a lot to be desired.

Yep, the episodes without Dennis were not good.Bobcat06 said:

So I was not impressed with most of the last episode. It was weird with Mac being so subdued and actually sincere.
Frank's gag was pretty funny.
But that last sequence. I was left speechless. That was seriously a deep emotionally stirring scene. I was so confused if I was supposed to laugh but I just kept feeling nothing but deep feelings of meaning. I mean obviously Mac was a little clumsy compared to the trained professional dancer but he still got the point across. Very nicely filmed and scored.
I'm still blown away by that. The only time in ever that IASIP made me feel an emotion other than humor.

I dont know. I feel like this is something they felt they owed to the Mac character. His gayness has always been a punchline. Well, more so his denial of it. But I get the feeling that they wanted to make a statement about how they feel about the plight of a gay person in this country. Not about some SJW nonsense of oppression but like the emotional alienation they go through growing up in most families. Kind of like a, "yeah we have fun with it but we aren't saying being gay is comical".
That or they just really wanted to show their creative chops.
Either or, it was pretty cool. The last show in the world that I would have guessed could tug at my heart strings so much.

That is why I think we got got. I mean Charlie faked cancer, a priest is a hobo. These guys dont care about who they offend. I guess we will see next season if there is some meaning to it.
It's really interesting how IASIP uses Dennis.PatAg said:Excellent points regarding DennisBobcat06 said:

Every sitcom has a straight man that the audience will empathize with (e.g. Jim from The Office or Jerry from Seinfeld). It provides a foil to the other main characters (e.g. Dwight & Michael or George & Kramer) and adds a level of hilarity to their hijinks when they interact with the real world. However, sticoms also have extreme ancillary characters who are only good for a couple lines per episode (e.g. Creed or Newman).
Dennis plays the straight man for majority of the episode, but will occasionally go off the deep end to reveal his extreme pychosis and act as one of those extreme ancillary characters.
If so....way less of this and more of "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis" or "The Gang gets Invincible."Texaggie7nine said:

Oh I agree. I haven't enjoyed the past 3 or so seasons all that much. At least this was something different. I'm guessing if there is a next season, they will carry on like normal and maybe refer to this dance but it wont be anything like a twist.
Maybe it was a challenge. Like, they did a few musical numbers in the past with decent production but never anything serious.

McElhenney, going behind the scenes with Vulture, explained that the support the show received from the LGBTQ community after last season's finale pushed him to think bigger about how to deal with Mac's sexuality moving forward.
"We got a really overwhelming emotional response from the LGBTQ community last year," McElhenney said. "I took it seriously and I felt it would be completely unexpected to have this much more emotionally resonant end to the season."
Looks like I was right. I have to say, I'm not mad. One of the most emotionally charged things I've seen on a cable TV show in a long ass time.
I'd encourage you to watch it again without any expectation of comedy from the moment mac tells his dad.

That was crazy. I agree with the guy who said that they felt like they owed this to Mac's character, and the gay community.
I'm ok w/ it, they are all very active in the gay community as a cast. but I do hope they can get back to their regular hijinks next season (if there is a next season).

every now and then you forget that Danny DeVito is an amazing actor
This season was really a step down. Felt like a chore to watch the episodes.
Sepinwall's thoughts on the season and the finale. Don't agree with all of it, but like always it's a good read.

I didn't get anything emotional out of it. I thought it was pretty impressive though.
