Preston Barta / Film Critic

Be sure to check out our reviews below, and visit GetFXX.com to find out your FXX channel number. Don’t miss these hilarious premieres tonight, starting at 9 p.m.
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” – Ep. 1-3
Cast: Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day
Rating: 4.5/5
For a show that’s been on the air for a whopping nine seasons, it’s astonishing that FXX’s original series “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” still manages to be one of the funniest and most refreshing shows on television. While the show may cross the line at times with its controversial subject material, it contains enough satire and funny banter between the characters to get away with it. So get ready for another great and hysterical season from Philly’s favorite bar owners.
Key episode: Episode 2 – “Gun Fever Too: Still Hot” (airs 9/11)
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” premieres tonight at 9 p.m. on FXX.
“The League” – Ep. 1 & 2
Cast: Mark Duplass, Nick Kroll and Stephen Rannazzisi
Rating: 3.5/5
“The League” may lack the element of surprise compared to “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” but the execution of the humor and fun characters are more than satisfactory. Returning for its fifth season, the show is way funnier than most comedies you’ll find on television. It’s natural flow and charming improvisation from all its gifted actors make it a must watch during the fall season.
Key episode: Episode 1 – “The Bachelor Draft” (airs tonight)
