The gang from Flipadelphia is back for season 13, but how do they fare after the loss of their resident psychopath? This article contains spoilers for season 13 episode 1 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia finally made its long-awaited return on Wednesday, and the results are, well, a mixed bag. The biggest question mark since the end of season 12, of course, has been the departure of Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and how the show would go about his absence. Would he actually return? Would he come back for simple cameos? Can the gang (and the series) survive in a Dennis-less world? For the first 25 minutes or so of the season 13 premiere (we’ll get to the final five minutes later), the answer seemed to be an unfortunate “no.” Sure, the gang went about the episode trying to literally and figuratively fill the void with a Dennis sex doll. But there’s just no substitute for the real thing. Frank (Danny Devito) even mutters at one point, “I feel like I’m forcing it,” which is probably the best way anyone could sum up this entire premiere. We start off right away with new member Cindy (played by the talented Mindy Kaling) trying to coax the group into sabotaging a rival bar down the street. It’s the only way they can, in her words, “Make Paddy’s great again.” The gang is on board to be sure. If you’ve seen even one episode of It’s Always Sunny in the last ten years, you know how gung-ho the group is about wrecking lives. The bad news for Cindy — who it seems is supposed to act as a female Dennis — is that the gang can’t seem to keep their heads straight for longer than five minutes, meaning her plan of action ultimately has no chance at success. They simply fall back into their old ways. Mac spends most of his time showing off how ripped he is while Charlie (who’s dating the Waitress) suddenly doesn’t seem so enamored with her. His plan to pawn her off on the sex doll backfires, as these things often do. The plot came across as a jumbled mess with no clear direction, and personally I found myself holding my breath wondering what an entire season of this could be like. I’m still not sure why they wanted Frank to play the tuba. It was as though the character had nothing to do and so he was thrown a bone to play with. Kaling is phenomenally comedic in almost everything that she does, and her turn as a voice of reason could be fresh, but the gang was never built on voices of reason. Any voice of reason has always been quickly followed by bouts of mayhem just as unhinged as what the voice wanted to cure. Maybe this is why the whole thing came across as slightly weird and off-kilter, even for a show that’s run the gamut on political incorrectness. But then, ah, plot twist. Dennis suddenly reappeared in the bar just before the end (the real Dennis and we’ll skip wondering how because we have no answer) and things seemed in a disturbing way logical again. I actually gave out a sigh of relief. It truly felt as though the show knew it couldn’t replace him and wanted to just reach out to the fans with a big hug and say, “We know how you feel right now and it’s going to be okay.” But is it? Dennis it appears will be in the next episode as well, but even as he stated as the gang crawled up to the bar for a drink, “For now I’m back.” Let’s just hope that equals out to a lot more than cameos. We’ll be sure to check in on Paddy’s Pub for revisits as the season goes along.<doc-sep>It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 13 sneak preview released FXX has released a sneak peak video (via IGN) for their comedy series It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia ahead of the show’s season 13 premiere tonight.

RELATED:It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Season 13 Trailer Released! The Gang Returns–mostly–in the 13th season of the FXX original comedy series It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Mac (Rob McElhenney), Charlie (Charlie Day), Dee (Olson) and Frank (Danny DeVito) return to their duplicitous, scheming ways at Paddy’s Pub, while Dennis (Howerton) takes on the new role of father in North Dakota. Even without Dennis Reynolds, the Gang has its hands full as Charlie hopes to have a child with The Waitress, Mac sets out to understand his newfound sexuality, Dee takes feminism to new heights and Frank goes to great lengths for the Gang to experience the greatest moment in Philadelphia sports history – an Eagles Super Bowl victory. After much speculation, it was confirmed earlier this month that Glenn Howerton would be returning to the series in its 13th season in his role of Dennis, who had seemingly made his exit in the previous season finale. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia season 13 will premiere on September 5, 2018, on FXX.<doc-sep>

The gang picks up right where we left (most of) them, Paddy’s Pub. The gang, Dee, Dennis, Charlie, Mac and Frank, are not shying away from any and all hot topic issues. It would be unlike Sunny to not address current political situations. The gang has covered abortion, police brutality and everything in between. Last season ended with Dennis being informed that he has a child. The new dad decided to be a dad and go to North Dakota to raise his mini-me. For the first episode of this season the gang is making Paddy’s great again, a riff off of President Donald Trump’s slogan. Dee, Charlie and Frank fill their Dennis shaped hole in the group with Cindy. Cindy encourages them to get political against a rival bar by spreading fake news. Mac decided to fill the Dennis shaped hole in the gang and in his heart with a look-a-like sex doll. Dennis will make his eventual return but not before a few laughs and WTF moments.
