Season Summary[]

The Gang struggle first with marriage and then with divorce. Dee gets pregnant, and the Gang tries to figure out if the father is one of them or one of Dee's ex-boyfriends. The gang deals with flux in their membership: first Charlie is kicked out and becomes a janitor, then Dee quits bar tending to become a teacher. The whole gang gets some big breaks: first, Dennis and Mac sell a large number of dick towels and buy a boat, then later Charlie and Mac win a radio contest; Charlie and Dennis also partner up to ditch the rest of the gang in the woods and travel to Atlantic City. Dee and Mac both try and fail to meet their idols: Dee fails to meet Josh Groban (unlike Artemis), and Mac gets lost in the woods and misses Chase Utley (unlike Charlie and Dennis).

Notes[]

  • Season 6 was the first season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia to be shot in HD (and the second season with the picture format 16:9). (This is referenced in the After Credits Backwards Messages, which, when played forwards says "Brown, now in HD!")
  • The show's classic opening title sequence was re-shot for this season on HD-cameras. The Always Sunny crew attempted to recreate the previous seasons' introduction. This ended up being the first and only season where the new intro was kept full-length, as it was shortened in following seasons.
  • Due to Kaitlin Olson's pregnancy, the surrogate storyline for Dee was explored more. Dee had previously expressed interest in being a surrogate mother in Season 5's The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis.
  • An additional episode with the production code XIP06004 was produced for this season, but did not air due to the TV premiere of "A Very Sunny Christmas".  This episode was titled "The Gang Gets Successful", and footage from it was later used in the 7th season episode "How Mac Got Fat".
  • This season's tagline is "SPF'd up." - SPF normally stands for "sun protection factor" on sunscreen labels, though it appears to be a play on being Sunny, and "f'd up".
