Danny Devito's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" Contract
The first season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (DVD available now!) was one of the funniest things I've ever seen -- a blend of awkward and offensive, culminating in a perfect comedy stew. And somehow, FX managed to improve upon the formula in the second season by adding the not inconsiderable talents of Danny Devito to the cast.
How to keep a good thing going? Well, keep Danny Devito around for the third season, of course. But Danny Devito is a star. Danny Devito deserves the best treatment. You want Danny Devito on your dinky little cable sitcom, you better treat him right. That's what Rob McElhenney learns here, with the help of Rhea Perlman and Fred Savage. He also learns to read his contract better. All of thesse are important lessons.
