Would you say it's at all better than the previews? Because I made the decision not to watch based off that, it looked absolutely terrible which is a bad sign when you're trying to put your best foot forward.

I found the first episode to feel very forced. Something seemed off and it felt like none of the characters had any chemistry.

But it’s a comedy so may take some time for then to grow into each other

Yes and it was head and shoulders more funny than the first episode of most comedy shows. It’s always sunny, the office, parks and rec just to name a few; their first episodes were not funny stand alone. It took quite a few episodes with a few of them being outstandingly hilarious to even get into the shows, then after being familiar with the humor in the show the first episode for those shows gets a few chuckles out of me.

Highly disagree on Always Sunny, they have one of the funniest pilots imo. The show was still finding itself (Dee was so much better when they made her as deplorable as the rest of the gang), but the first season is still better than most comedies.

HOW'S THAT ASS FEEL?

The first ep of IASIP is classic.

Thank you, I knew I wasn't the only one, I was actually surprised to see it with the others (and honestly, the other two aren't as bad as many others).

Interesting to find out what other people think is hilarious or not. I couldn’t get into the first few episodes of that show, but a few seasons in I flipped back on It’s always sunny and now it’s one of my all time favorites and I enjoy now those episodes with some context.

Fuck no, dee was WAY better when she was the quasi normal view. ‘Whackadoo’ botox dee is juvenile, forced and unfunny. Season 14 on shes basically 0/10. Sigh.

Entirely disagree as well. She was just another sitcom character until the second season.

Plus we'd never have the Gang Broke Dee if she stayed the same, as well as countless other episodes.

The gang broke dee was still awesome. And the slow deterioration into madness was the best part (she had to be kind of normal to start to appreciate that descent).

But now with her perpetual ‘wackadoo’ scenes its just not funny. The slapstick is forced. NOW shes just another sitcom character.
