There is not a single episode of the show that's not worth watching at least twice. Start at the beginning.

Continuity just makes it funnier, when it's hilarious to begin with.

Season 1 is great. The show was a little different without Frank, but still just as good in it's own way. Frank was never a necessary addition to the show. He's funny and I don't mind him, but they didn't need him for the show to be just as good. Replace the scenes and lines from Frank with any of the other characters, and bam it's still filled with just as much good humor and fun.


No. The show gets waaay better because of Frank joining. He is absolutely essential for the show to be as good as it is.

If you are trying to get into the show, start with Season 1. The show isn't driven by story arcs, but there are developments that stick and come back up later, and it helps to have seen the relevant earlier episodes (though it's rarely, if ever, an absolute necessity). The show does sometimes refer back to things that have happened before and there is some character development. I think as the show goes on, the writers generally work on the assumption that the audience is already familiar with the characters and the dynamics of the show, so you are better off starting at the beginning, with Season 1, where the show is very much still finding its rhythm. People say the show really took off with Season 2, and I generally agree, but it's not that Season 1 is bad. Season is just a bit different (as is common) and lacks Frank. I don't know if Frank necessarily makes or breaks the show, though the addition of a character to round out the main cast definitely helped the long-term viability of the show. There are definitely some hilarious episodes in Season 1.

Maybe for certain demographics...


Which would be? You have zero idea what demographic I am. I'm not saying S1 is bad, but it can be skipped. A lot of people skip it on rewatches. It's easily the worst season and is missing Frank. If you think the show would be the same without Frank, you're delusional.

S1 sets up a lot of gags in 2 and 3 so I really wouldnt skip it altogether

I remember watching Parks and Rec and how season 1 almost turned me off from the show. I didn't despise it, just didn't want to get into it. When the rest of the cast show up is when I start really enjoying it.

season 1 has a lot of good episodes, it's just a season before the show found its voice and figured out what kind of show it wanted to be, if that makes sense. it's more like an offensive version of seinfeld in the first season, the gang is a lot smarter, A LOT less goofy antics, no danny devito yet, etc.

still very much worth watching, there are some great episodes and later eps will call back to it. continuity in sunny is not super important but there is additional payoff to viewers that remember stuff in older episodes

Almost done with 1, they've done guns, abortion, faking cancer, racism, and underage drinking. Almost done with the dead guy one now.

People think this is "bad?" It's funny as shit to me

Dunno about that. The episode where Dennis, Mac, and Charlie try to have a huge party and are oblivious to all of the gay stuff they are thinking of and doing is pretty bad, the worst part being the obviously penis shaped invitations that they don't notice.

Is the underage drinking episode the one where they get stuck with that kid and he's a complete dick to them the whole time? That's one of my favorites man, I knew the show was great, but that kid was just so fucking funny, it's truly such a fantastic show.
