Charlie Has Cancer
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
This show is delightfully offensive. Charlie Has Cancer is one of the more inappropriate episodes.
Although its not my favorite (re: The Gang Finds a Dead Guy), it is pretty great in its depiction of what people’s reactions to a cancer diagnosis can be and how people actually think. It is satire, but has much truth to it. The “cancer card” is also a theme (as in using cancer to get what you want).
A totally unrelated piece of miscellaneous information about this episode is an inside joke about the movie Coyote Ugly. Kaitlin Olson, girl that plays “Sweet Dee,” was actually in the scene in the movie that they rehearse.
You can see the show Thursdays at 10:00 on FX. The new season starts September 18.
Hulu has all the episodes of Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia for free. Enjoy.
