Some new info about It's Always Sunny

Read the full article (it's not that long!) at Philly.com, but I'll highlight some key points:

• Mac and Dee's (Rob McElhenney and Kaitlyn Olson's) son Axel loves trash trucks, which lead to an episode idea.
• Said episode is called "The Gang Recylces Their Trash" and it will be out later this season.
• The episode deals with a trash strike in Philly, and the gang ends up repeating a sceme similar to the one in "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis, though they are self-aware of this.
• If you didn't already know, Fat Mac is no more.
• The show will run at least through 2013, and the cast is in talks for a 10th season.
• Only 10 new episodes for the new season.
• This Thursday's premiere is called "Pop-Pop: The Final Solution" in which Dennis and Dee deal with their dying Nazi grandfather.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns for season 8 this Thursday at 10pm on FX, followed by the season 4 premiere of The League, which you should also watch if you haven't already.

Rob McElhenney gained 50 pounds for It's Always Sunny

...just because it would be funny for the show.  So, expect a lot of fat jokes to be directed at Mac.

50 pounds for a TV show?  Deserves an Emmy in my book.  Can't wait for the new season, too bad it's a couple months away.
