One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It felt like the show was only 15 min long. Also, am I imagining it or did they used to do two episodes in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It felt like the show was only 15 min long. Also, am I imagining it or did they used to do two episodes in a row? The first season was mostly back to back episodes I believe. I'm not sure if they did that for the second season too. Occasionally they still do back to back episodes.

dutchrudder Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I haven't seen this episode yet because I'm on the good coast and I may be way out of line here, but I find it amusing when people freak out over real products being used on shows. "They're drinking Coors Light in a bar?!? SELLOUTS!" I'm far more upset over Subway actually. Coor Light isn't bad for a domestic low-budget pilsner Except for the fact that Coors is the #1 polluter in the state of Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hickey Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 How dare television characters attempting to portray normal people consume food and beverages that average people consume? I'm not sure what the problem is with that. Regular people eat Subway and drink Coors. If anything, it makes the show MORE REAL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djones0930 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Three things: 1) I'm going to go around asking "where's our goddamn bible?!" 2) Fuck the advertising, I find it more satire than anything. Who goes for a double date at Subway? 3) In Winchester,VA there's a British Pub called "Union Jack" that plays It's Always Sunny... so we got to drink our pints and watch the show! Of course they had subtitles, so it's a bit tough to follow along completely, but it's manageable and delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I commented on the advertising last night on Twitter, it was a bit too obvious, but it didn't bother me. The show might need to make a little more money and this is a way to do it. 30 Rock does this too, but much more blatant. They actually mix it into the show and make it part of the jokes sometimes. I thought it was pretty funny though because during that scene in the bar there are a handful of Coors Light logos all over the place. In the past, they always had the bottles turned away or labels pealed off. The Subway bit didn't bother me at all. I'd imagine that's exactly where Dennis and Dee would want to meet up w/ someone.

The rocky mountains were awfully blue in every scene. I agree with them probably needing some money, but I could only assume every fan had something to say about that. I wonder if they chose a different beer, like a craft beer, how then would fans have taken it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexH. Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Just watched it. After watching most of season 1 yesterday, this just seemed like a reeaaally mediocre episode. Weird choice for a season premiere. Hoping the resolution is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fartcat Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It was a pretty good episode, and who cares if they eat in a Subway, it has dick to do with the storyline anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 hahaha awesome He went off much more... http://twitter.com/Glenn_Howerton I totally agree on the generic brand stuff. It takes you out of the show when they have a "Napple Computer" or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Definitely an under-par episode, especially for a season premiere, I am really hoping the conclusion to this episode is better as well as the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I don't have anything to add except that I think Quizno's is expensive for what you get and not very good. (Someone mentioned it should have been Quizno's instead of Subway.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidamnesiac Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I watched the premier again today and found it much more funny than the first time I watched it. Which isn't surprising, considering I wasn't too enthused with the first episode of season 5 the first time I watched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrett2859 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 they used to have shiner on tap at the bar. don't know if they still do or not Shiner is amazing. I live some parts of the year in Connecticut where I can't find it. Is it possible to find it in Philadelphia? And also, this. The Subway bit didn't bother me at all. I'd imagine that's exactly where Dennis and Dee would want to meet up w/ someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
