ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia creator and star Rob McElhenney looks on the bright side
How has this DIY series — which McElhenney created on a shoestring budget so that he and buddies Day and Howerton might have better parts than they were being offered — not only survived this long, but thrived? Well, McElhenney has some theories, including his explanation for why, he says, “I truly believe we can do the show forever.”The hope was that we would have a television series that would run for a very long time.
That’s exactly right. The older it gets, and the sadder it gets, the funnier it gets. That was something that we were striving to do early. We were very clear. I get this question a lot, too: “Are you guys afraid of tackling any subject, or are there certain places you won’t go?” Because we do seem to get away with a lot that on the surface it seems people are not able to get away with now.
Very rarely do we pander to our audience. Very often, we’ll hear a lot of the fan base over the years say, “Hey, we really want to see that.” We tend to block that out. It’s not that we don’t care. That’s just such dangerous water to swim in. If you start listening to other people’s opinion of what you’re doing, or their ideas for where you should be headed, you wind up losing your vision for what you’re trying to do.
At the time Season 12 ended, it seemed unclear whether Glenn would return to the show at all, given his new role on. Instead, he wound up being in nearly all of Season 13. Can you do this show if all five of you aren’t in it for a long stretch?
