Sunny and DA BEARS!
"The Rafi" - that's awesome. You actually watch the best hour of comedy on Thursdays. Can't end the day without "Its Always Sunny" and "The League". Why more people haven't jumped on board this show that is funnier than any of the garbage on NBC and CBS is beyond me. NBC knows it and that is why they are waiting for these shows to run before moving "30 Rock" to 10pm. Too bad next up "Archer" is also superior to "30 Rock" and will challenge that ratings deficient show.
