In Abbott Elementary's Season four crossover episodes with In Philadelphia it is always sunnyThe group of West Philly teachers was very pleased to receive help with their daily workload when AVA (Janelle James) announced that she had set up a new community volunteer program. Until the FX -Sitcom gang from South Philly Misfits came from the school premises and its true colors -and the intentions to fulfill a non -profit obligation.

In It's always sunnyThe 17-year-old Return, who had two episodes on Wednesday evening, experienced the audience in the second and finals of the two crossover episodes of the sitcoms from the R-rated Paddy Pub crew from the R-rated perspective of the paddy pub crew.

“Ideally, we could have radiated them in a row, but given our structure and how much of our season we still had to shoot, there was simply no way to do that” The Hollywood reporter. “Because your episode was the last time when you saw our characters, we thought: just let us step in with our version.”

But Abbott Elementary Is not the only ABC series The Dark Comedy, who debut in 2005 and is the longest-running live action sitcom in US TV history, will cross this season.

Debott star Chris Perfetti called Sunny'S Season 17 premieres the “R-rated version” of what came on the day on which the gang came to Abbott Elementary. How did they all decide on the concept to show how things are from the perspective of the Sunny Page?

I never had a doubt that it could be funny to have her on our show. It is more difficult to go from a show that you jump through the total control over the show of someone else and say: “How will that work?” I think In Philadelphia it is always sunny Lins and justify our characters, who behave on the much more PG that they have to behave to be on ABC. That brought us a little dizzy and excited that we could make the same story through another lens. Yes, all of these things have happened, but here is what was going on on this day that had much more from Rated R. It's always sunny Clay.

You said beforehand Th. You are “pretty precious” about your characters. How did Quinta Brunson react to pollute her? Debott Characters a bit, especially Janine?

I remember that I wrote this joke where she used it [c-word] Explantive and sending the script, and that was the moment of truth in which they returned and said: “Hey, I really don't want to do it”, we knew that we could have a little difficulty. But there was no setback. Look, you are all very rounded actors and there are certain things that you simply cannot get through on network television. I am sure that it was fun for you to get outside the standard and practice box where you get stuck when you make such a show.

I also wondered if Danny Devito knew the texts on Boyz II men “I will love you to you” before you turned the episode, or did he have to learn it?

((Laughs) I am sure he had to learn it, but he probably knew it and forgot and knew it and forgot. I think we may have already referred to the same song on our show. I forget. In any case, we made young -II men's jokes, but I think he might have to learn that on that day.

Did the success of the first Debott Crossover episode open the idea of doing more how we will see it with the additional Goldener bachelor Crossover this season?

That appeared in the first week in the writer's room. We throw ideas on the board and Rob [Mac, series creator] liked the idea of Danny The golden bachelor. So this card went on the board and then we knew Abbott Elementary quickly needed an obligation from us. They turned and we were not sure whether it made sense to make two crossovers in the same season The golden bachelor. Once [co-star] Glenn [Howerton] And I came on board, we only said: “Okay, everything goes in.” But it was not our intention when we went into the room this season to make so many crossover episodes. It just happened in the room that we had all of these different ideas and we simply decided to do them all.

What are some of the other pop culture TV moments to refer to?

There is a small indication of it Consequence And we spend a little wink The bear. Is it cake? Mentioned at one point, there are many overlaps. But Abbott Elementary And Goldener bachelor Were the only two shows that we made directly in the style of another television show.

The last chat you said did not know how many seasons of more Sunny There could be. Did that change how you turned to write this season? Did you consider this to be a kind of final season in this sense?

I did it. I mean, I knew that there was also an offer for a season of 18 -season -18 season, and I knew that we all had most likely discussed to do it, but I went to the Writers Room personally last year, as if it were my last chance to be on the Writers room. Fortunately, I think that we will set up all and we will come back for season 18. I cannot know about the 18 -season -18 season that it could possibly be the end. But I think it was something about writing this season and in this season and David and John Cherin back in Robus Robus Rosell and David Hornsby and a little bit of the old gang, and then it was so good that some of these episodes work so well to be exciting in a way that all demonstrated. So we will see how long we can keep it up. But one season after another.

The New York Times Published a great piece this week and recorded It's always sunny'S inheritance. What do you provide the ability of the show to survive so many industry changes in the past two decades?

You cannot rule out good old -fashioned happiness, a bit just as right. I think a lot has to do with the fact that everyone who works at FX worked at FX now when we started, so we never suffered a big change of regime. Sometimes, when someone takes over a network or a studio, you like to clean the house. You would say: “Oh, well, Sunny Was a John Landgraf and I don't want to have his legacy ”, so egos stand in the way. Rob and Glenn and I kept our own ego among themselves, so we didn't flash out either. And then finally at the end, and above all what fans in particular end without fans. These are the decisive factors for why we took so long.

Recently on social media, people shared the new news that appeared before watching Rush hour This is a disclaimer of how some of the jokes could be insulting for people at the time when it came out in 1998. With Sunny Do you feel that his comedy has been in the air for 20 years for 20 years?

I think it is mostly very well aged. From the beginning we always started making a show that satirized bad people who behaved badly. And if your intention is to highlight the poor behavior and comment on it, it says: “Hey, that's wrong”, that's a kind of evergreen message. I am neither for nor against an episode with regard to disclaimer before an episode. I think that's better than just getting rid of it Rush hour. Let people decide themselves. Incidentally, we always had a disclaimer before our consequences. It is always said: “Hey, this is TV MA or X or whatever, and look at, pay attention.” But what really falsifies me in our culture is how complete we are of extreme violence in our content. People are shot and killed and murdered in a terrible way, but a few dirty smaller, naughty jokes really seem to throw people for a loop.

Emmy nominations will be announced next week. The It's always sunny The line -up was presented at the ceremony last year and joked that it was never nominated in the main categories. Is that a bit? Do you still endure hope?

No, at this time, 20 years later, it doesn't hope. It is as if you are still hoping that they will be invited to the prom if they have not been in the high school for 40 years. It will probably not happen. Apart from that, I would get a nice suit and go.
