Meanwhile, Dennis attempts to help Mac get healthy after gaining nearly fifty pounds.

Notes

That's the first season with the short version of the opening title sequence in it.
This season, they've decided to raise up the "production value" of several episodes (in particular,
07x04 and 07x06) by adding some kick-ass sound effects of bell on them. [previously they did it
only once - in Christmas special.]
Rob McElhenney have gained 50 pounds of weight SPECIAL FOR THIS SEASON and became a "Big Fat Mac". Originally he did it in a healthy way, but eventually he got tired of multiple meals a day of steamed rice and chicken, and started eating lots of donuts.
Rob have decided to do it during the watching of "The Big Bang Theory" (or whatever else commercially successful sitcom): he noticed that from season to season the characters in it are keeps looking better and better (which is NOT REALISTIC at all). So Rob decide to do the direct opposite thing to his character.
Neither Glenn or Charlie never would do anything like that for the stupid TV show. It's just a TV show!
The mixed opinion of these two cynical bastards on this serious matter says "That idiot decided he wanna do it on his own, and for now he have destroyed his metabolism... And that's pretty funny".
Here is the Dennis' words from Season Three: "We need a FUNNY FAT GUY. 'Cause every crew has
a funny fat guy". ("Dennis and Dee's Mom Is Dead") And since that's clearly not Charlie, why does Dennis
is so concerned about Mac's new look?
Rob was eating about five thousands calories a day, and he got fifty pounds quicker than he thought. So he was thinking about continuing the process, but "his HEART told him not to". Literally. And since Rob have
a "crafty metabolism", he was forced to supplement his weight throughout the whole shootings.
According to Kaitlin, back in his fatty days Rob's liver was "soft and not good". And any normal person just don't want to know how she learn it.
Although Rob admitted what "it's pretty great to be able to eat whatever you want", but he do have some rough times with such hard experiences as meeting people which are seemingly were talking to him,
but instead they were just constantly staring at his stomach.
McElhenney subsequently lost 23 pounds in a month after the season was finished filming.
The creators of the show DO NOT WANNA MAKE FUN OF A FAT PEOPLE. They're just making fun of Mac because of his "put on mass"-theory.
