Season 17 of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is praised for its high-energy content and strong writing. The cast emphasizes the return of good chemistry in the writers' room, noting that the jokes flowed well. Additionally, the season features significant crossover episodes, one of which includes a surprising collaboration with The Golden Bachelor. The creative team aimed to respectfully incorporate the character Frank Reynolds into the reality show context without making fun of it, highlighting their commitment to quality and originality.
"It's a high-octane season, you know? I think it's one of our strongest in years," said Charlie Day. "It felt like old times again in the writers' room. So the chemistry was good, and the jokes were flying, and I think the season's really strong."
"We really pushed hard to try to get us all back in a room together for this particular season," Howerton said. "It's important for us to be able to kind of say anything, you know, and say the most outrageous thing."
"I personally have loved the idea that everybody thought that the crossover that we were talking about was Abbott Elementary, which is very much true. But one thing we were able to keep a secret was that the real crossover is The Golden Bachelor," Mac said.
"We were very clear that we were not making fun of him. We were not making fun of the show. We wanted to take it very seriously and actually put Frank Reynolds into that role as the Golden Bachelor and see what happens," Mac added.
