Yesterday FX released A Very Sunny Christmas, the direct to DVD release of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Christmas special. Right now there are no plans to air this on FX, so buying the DVD is the only way that you will see it. I was trying to decide of I was going to do a recap of the DVD or just review the release itself. I’m thinking since it might take a while for all the It’s Always Sunny fans to get the DVD and watch it I’ll just 
review the release of the DVD itself and maybe post a recap later.
I have to tell you that this movie (I don’t know if it’s really a movie, but it’s not an episode of the show either, so that’s what I’m calling it) was every bit as good as a regular episode, but maybe a bit funnier because they weren’t held back by the already loose restrictions they have at FX. The premise is very simple. Dennis and Dee hate Christmas because Frank always bought whatever gifts they asked for and kept them for himself, they want to pay him back. Charlie and Mac have wonderful memories of Christmas, but when they think hard about them they realize that maybe they weren’t as good as they thought.
There aren’t many extras on the DVD, but that really isn’t the point, and the movie itself more than makes up for it. There are a few deleted scenes of young Charlie and young Mac that are pretty funny, but don’t really fit anywhere in the story. This DVD is a must-own for any fan of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

Danny DeVito And The Ensemble Cast Of The FX Original Series
Star In A Never-Before-Seen Christmas-Themed Special
Premiering On Blu-ray Disc And DVD November 17
From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
CENTURY CITY, Calif. – ‘Tis the season to be ill-suited. Pop open a bottle and toast to the most deviant, offensive and unwholesome bar owners in “Philly” as they celebrate the holidays in the raunchiest way possible when the never-before-seen It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas exclusively debuts on Blu-ray Disc and DVD November 17 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Compared to “Seinfeld” as one of the most obscene hilarious shows on television, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” combines crude humor with brilliantly unwholesome commentary while touching on highly controversial topics such as politics, abortion and terrorism, in a way that gives “pushing the limits” a new meaning. In the first never-before-seen feature length comedy, follow Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Frank and Dee as they spread their Christmas spirit with inappropriate childhood videos, a bloody encounter with Santa Claus and all the over-the-top, twisted and politically incorrect behavior the city of brotherly love can handle.
With its fifth season set to premiere September 17, the unconventional original series produced by FX Productions, starring creators and writers Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day, as well as comedy legend Danny Devito (“Taxi”) and fan-favorite Kaitlin Olsen, has continued to gain a hardcore fan base with a strong cult following since the series premiere in 1995 and is now up 97% in ratings since its first season.
The It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: A Very Sunny Christmas Blu-ray Disc and DVD include behind the scenes footage of the cast and crew as they transform Paddy’s Pub into a winter wonderland, home videos of the gang as children celebrating the holidays and a Christmas Carol “Sunny Sing-A-Long.” The Blu-ray Disc will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.99 U.S./$32.99 Canada and the DVD will be available for $26.98 U.S./$37.98 Canada. Prebook is October 21.
Synopsis:
Ho, ho, heyooo! Christmas is nearly here and the Paddy’s gang has got the spirit. Well, not really. For them, the holidays have always been a time of trickery, backstabbing, and disappointment. But this year things are going to be different as they are determined to rediscover the joy in Christmas. Join Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Dee and Frank as they embark on a holiday adventure filled with stolen toys, childhood videos, naked elves and a bloody run in with Santa Claus that is guaranteed to blast Christmas spirit all over!
