    I rate this title iffy for age 16 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    The most depraved and hilarious shows on tv.

    Always sunny in Philadelphia is probably the funniest show on TV probably because the characters are the worst and most depraved people Television has ever seen. Not a show for people under 16. It's funny and irreverent covering every taboo topic from teen drinking (main characters supplying booze because they realize that minors are the only customers at the bar they own) to incest (there being an ever milk drinking family called the "McPoyles" who are always suggested to have incestuous tendencies) and gun ownership (episode ending in one of the main characters being shot in the face though not killed). I think it's pretty obvious to anyone that what the characters in the show is horrible and there really isn't any type of moral ambiguity. Most of the jokes are played off of the fact that the characters are horrible people. Great show for older teens and adults.

    Great for the older crowd. Keep kids away.

    This show is hilarious. However much of the humor comes from the absurdity of the characters actions and how 'serious' issues are dealt with in a completely un-PC way. Definitely not good for anyone under the age of 17. There are episodes where the characters use a priest for money after they get him addicted to cocaine. In the very same episode another character is prostetuting himself for money. The horrid thing is that his father acts as his pimp.

    It's okay...

    I watched the first epsode and was like "Eh...", so I decided to see if it would improve i nthe next episodes. It hasn't really, and I found the show to only be mildly funny. There isn't much to worry about content-wise though, unless you have a problem with language. But if you're about thirteen or up, then there isn't anything here that hasn't been heard before, if not in much larger quantities. If you want a real language problem, go see "Platoon", which has the record for most uses of "f--k" in a Best Picture movie-- around 250 (but is still a very good movie, but not as good as "Crash" or "The Green Mile" =) ). Oh, and by the way, yes you can say "f--k" on TV (watch "Saving Private Ryan" on TNT one day and you'll see what I mean-- which conveniently another absolutely great movie).

    Hilarious show, not for anyone under 13.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 4.0

    Its hilarious, but I still regret watching it.

    Its a hilarious show, but the amount of swearing and FXs high commercial amounts limited the amount of people that would want or be allowed to watch it. I thought you couldnt use the F word on TV. isnt that like a law that will make you get fined like a million dollars now if you violate it? Hmmm.... I shouldnt have watched it cause all the swearing is stuck in my head.
