FX

In most sitcoms, the main characters are exasperated by the doltish rest of the world. Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia flips that equation, putting its amoral and just plain dumb main characters through situations like a father marrying his adopted daughter for money; a brother and sister getting hooked on crack to collect walfare; and a musclebound meathead dating a pre-op transsexual because she has a great rack. Despite all this misanthropy, its difficult to stop laughing.
