The Gang Solves a Mystery: How Long Has It's Always Sunny Been on the Air?
The Paddy's Pub crew is known for a lot of things: questionable schemes, bottomless rage, and an unhealthy obsession with milksteak. But one thing they definitely aren't known for is...well, keeping track of time. So, how long has It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actually been gracing our screens with its gloriously dark humor? Let's grab a lukewarm beer (Charlie's preference, of course) and unravel this mystery.

It All Began in a Basement Bar: The Sunny Debut
Believe it or not, there was a time before the gang was blasting "Nightcrawlers" on repeat and attempting to cultivate a rum ham empire. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia first premiered on August 4th, 2005. That's right, back when flip phones were peak technology and low-rise jeans were a fashion statement (ahem, Dee).
Sunny Destroys Records: A Reign of Laughter and Chaos
Fast forward nearly two decades (wow, time flies when you're constantly getting into hijinks), and It's Always Sunny has become a television titan. In its 15th season, the show dethroned the legendary "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" to become the longest-running live-action American sitcom. That's a lot of milk duds, fake martial arts demonstrations, and crowtein to celebrate!
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
And guess what? The gang isn't done yet. In December 2020, FX blessed us all by renewing Sunny for an additional four seasons, bringing the total to a whopping 18 seasons. So, we can expect Dennis's sociopathic tendencies, Mac's questionable religious conversions, and Charlie's...well, Charlie-ness for years to come.
Fun Fact: Danny DeVito wasn't originally part of the core cast. He was brought in for season 2 and quickly became a scene-stealer (and resident rum ham connoisseur).
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.

So, the answer to our existential crisis (because let's face it, this show can feel that important) is this: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been around for a staggering 19 years (as of June 2024) and shows no signs of stopping. Prepare yourselves for more shenanigans, more questionable life choices, and maybe even a trip to the moon (because, why not?).
