It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - S1E5

Gun Fever
First Aired: Tuesday August 30, 2005

In this episode of Sunny, the bar gets robbed and the gang decides to purchase a gun. Mac and Dennis then decided to find out who robbed them and believe it is Dee's new boyfriend.

After being robbed of their small safe and the cops can't help them, the gang decides to get a gun. However, the "gun fever" gets the best of the them and they can't put the thing down. Charlie even uses it to intimidate his landlord. Mac and Dennis decide to do some detective work and figure out that the true robber is Dee's boyfriend Colin, played by Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville). When they set up a sting on him, the actual robber that night turns out to be Charlie, who needs money for rent. Dennis shoots him in the head ... only a gaze though. The episode ends with Colin robbing the bar again while the gang is at the hospital.

I really enjoyed this episode, even though it wasn't a laugh a minute one-line script like most of them. The part I found the most hysterical was the parts with Charlie and his landlord, Mr. Hwang. The rest of the episode's humor was mainly situational, but it played well with the theme of the episode. It was good to see Rosenbaum in a role other than Lex Luthor and, being a fan of his work on Smallville, I really enjoyed his guest starring in this episode.

Score: 8.7 / 10
