"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" may be the longest-running live-action sitcom, but the sun did not always shine bright for its cast and crew. During the first few seasons, there was an air of uncertainty surrounding the show's future. According to the faces behind the bar-owning gang, that feeling was amplified by the lack of awareness of the show's popularity. Shockingly enough, they only discovered that people were enjoying "It's Always Sunny" while on the heels of a fifth season.
Before the arrival of social media, it was nearly impossible for series creator Rob McElhenney and the rest of the cast to gauge how much the audience was invested in their unconventional sitcom. While the series continued to push the comedic limits of Paddy's Pub and its patrons, they did so under the assumption that it could all end at any moment. And, for the most part, they were content with that preconceived notion.
