A Peek At The Television Program, “It Is Always Sunny In Philadelphia
At some point everybody will purchase a certain piece of technology or some kind of gadget that they feel attached to, that they really enjoy. This happens with people every day and is why people go to get an iPhone Screen Replacement or an iPad Repair, and similar situations are demonstrated on popular TV shows on a regular basis. Actually, on an episode of the hit FX show, “It Is Always Sunny In Philadelphia,” the gang of bar owners buy a flat screen, very thin television that all the main characters Dennis, Charlie, Dee, and Mac love. The television then plays a vital part in the rest of the episode that very few viewers would have seen coming when the plotline comes near its conclusion.
In the episode, the local newspaper has given Paddy’s Pub, the bar that the main characters own and work in, a horrible review and has actually called them the worst bar in Philadelphia. Also, he refers to the males of the bar as classless boors and Dee as surly and white trash. The poor review and the insults anger the four bar owners and they go and try to talk the man into writing a new review, which as expected goes poorly.
But, after they’ve all gone from the office of the paper and head back to the bar the rest of the gang sees Charlie waiting to make a very strange announcement. As it turns out, after their meeting with the writer Charlie started drinking and got mad, and then decided to kidnap the writer and bring him to the pub. The gang holds him captive for a while and hilarity ensues as they all try to figure out ways to convince him to first of all write a new review of their bar and second of all to not press charges against them for kidnapping.
In a vain attempt to make it look like the writer for the local paper hasn’t been kidnapped, Dee and her brother Dennis then go over to the apartment building where the writer lives and try to pack his suitcase so that it looks like he’s gone on vacation. However, they quickly figure out that they actually broke into the wrong apartment when the writer’s neighbor barges in on them packing his clothes into a suitcase. Dennis and Dee then wind up kidnapping the neighbor as well, hoping that he won’t say anything about the kidnapping either.
Finally, as the episode comes to its ridiculous end the gang decides that the first order of business is to bribe the neighbor so that he won’t tell the police about being held hostage. This is the point in the plot when the previously referred to flat screen TV comes back in to the plot, as this is what the man demands as compensation for his having been taken prisoner. Lastly, Charlie smacks the writer on the head with a glass bottle to try and give him amnesia and they return him home. The next day the gang goes to the bar to find a new review of their bar in which the writer insults them even more mercilessly then before, saying that rather than tell the police he was kidnapped he’ll just allow them to stay in the hole they created. Upset that he didn’t mention any of them by name, the gang walks out the door to have another talk with the writer as the credits roll begin to roll.
