The gang at It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia decided that since the show usually ends its run on FX before the Christmas season they were going to put out a straight to DVD Christmas special entitled "A Very Sunny Christmas". I recently happen to come into a copy of this episode and figured I'd give a quick review before it comes out on DVD next week so that you can make up your mind on whether or not to purchase it, although if you're a fan of the show and own all the other DVDs I'm sure you are going to purchase this no matter what I say, and with that said, it's definitely worth checking out.
I usually don't like when TV shows take one episode and release it as a DVD because frankly it seems like a rip off. This DVD lists for $17.99 on amazon, which is almost what you pay for an entire season of the show and this is only one ~42 minute episode. I'm not sure if there are a lot of special features or extras on the DVD itself since I did not watch a retail copy, but even with extras I don't know that the DVD warrants the price. I will admit that it was a solid 42 minutes and compares to some of the funnier episodes we've seen this season, but again that price point just seems illogical. But enough about the price let's talk about the actual episode.
