It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (TV Series) Pop-Pop: The Final Solution (2012) User Reviews

A 'curate's egg' episode but still classic.

This TV Series has never ceased to entertain me. Some might say that the series was withering. In my opinion I think it evolved. It evolved while keeping the proper ingredients to make an outstanding comedy in its own genre. Though I might say that the series lost a bit of its DIY aspect throughout the years. I found the aforementioned ingredients in this season premiere : a still screaming-around Charlie eating month-old rancid soup, Mac always trying to be the 'muscles' in the gang, Frank always finding himself in droll situations like being stuck head first in a trunk. I haven't particularly found Dennis and Dee brilliant in this episode. But I'm dying to see the following episodes of this season. I was quite excited when I saw Rickety Cricket (I had the same expression as Charlie and Mac when I saw him : Heyyyyyy-ooooo, admit it, you've said it Mac style) and 'The Lawyer' starring. I think it's the first time an episode is 'kind of' based on something that occurred in previous seasons (Pop-pop being a Nazi). It's risky, and may end up with a loss in terms of audience. But don't worry It's Always Sunny in Philly, seeing Charlie slobbering like in the good old days when he was on steroids deeply entertained me. All in all, I guess Charlie made my Day. No pun intended.

Mac has lost all the weight and he has some new glasses to try make him look cool. In walks a lawyer who comes in with the news that the guys must decide on someones estate if a person dies. Dee then says they should pull the switch but they do not as they feel their grandfather should not be in this hospital surrounded by gone off food. Charlie/Mac come up with a plan to look for a painting they believe may be a treasure, so they run out. The painting if they find it might be an original by Hitler so they ask Frank who has thrown it away. The guys start looking for the painting and find out it was sold to a man who had a German shepherd who died so he got the painting in return. Poppop was a Natzi so when they go to his apartment they watch an old video of summer camping 1981. They learn when the listen to it that the camp was a young Nazi camp which makes them decide to let go of their grandpa. To get used to watching dogs die but they cannot do it as the animals are too cute. Charlie/Mac on the search go to a man's office and see the painting in the middle of so much more pictures. Mac decides to let Charlie go by putting him out. At the hospital the lawyer takes responsibility for letting go of the grandpa. Charlie comes back and plays a villain type as he makes a monologue to Frank/Mac as they learn it was not a Hitler painting but one done by Charlie himself. The grandfather is let go and is still breathing by himself which might take forever for him to go. The ending of this episode was very much like the Citizen Kane with Rosebud which I very much liked. Nice return but I am sad we do not have Fat Mac anymore as it was the funniest thing about last season for me.

EPISODE GRADE: B (MVP: Charlie Day)
