Quotes
Dennis Reynolds: What the hell is going on?
Charlie Kelly: That's Tammy, Trey's ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kanallen said that she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timny at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous because you know, she thought that Trey secretly liked Erin Henebry, but he doesn't like Erin Henebry, it was all a bunch of bull.
Dee Reynolds: [wanders over] What is happening?

9/10

Indeed the best episode of Season 1

My overall rating of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"'s Season 1: 6/10

This episode really encapsulates the substance and style of what I like about the series so far in the most concentrated way. The performances are great, pretty much each joke or scene lands very well (bar, maybe, the house party?..), and attentive viewers will be rewarded with a few of the more subtle laughs. I'd also note this episode using the "setup - cut to punchline" editing a few times, which is a bit played out in sitcoms, but doesn't really spoil the jokes.
