This isn't the only 'Seinfeld' association the series has received, especially when "Sunny's" tagline reads, "'Seinfeld' on crack." The Los Angeles Daily News said, "It makes the monumentally self-absorbed characters of 'Seinfeld' and 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' seem like Peace Corps volunteers…fresh and almost punishingly funny." A Miami Herald critic raved, "It's really a blue-collar version of 'Seinfeld." The depraved laughs in 'Sunny' are undeniable."
Not a "Seinfeld" fan? That's OK. The Associated Press also compared "Sunny" to the beloved sitcom "Friends."
And the praise keeps pouring in.
The show has garnered other nods from big-time critics across the country. The Chicago Sun Times claims it's "one of TV's funniest series." Just as a reviewer at the Kansas City Star said it "is unlike any show on television." And yet another at US Weekly said, "This is one gloriously brazen, deliciously acted comedy."
Not taking the critics to heart, the cast and crew are focused and are putting the finishing touches on their season three episodes and await the gathering of an even more widespread fanbase.
"We realize how privileged we are to be making this show. It's pretty great to go to work every day with your friends and get to goof off all day," Day said. "Our plan, hopefully, is for people to watch, and then we can come back with an even better and funnier fourth [season]."
With the series' DVD release last week and episode sales on iTunes, addicted fans are able to catch up on missed episodes before tomorrow's premiere of season three.
"There are a lot of good behind the scenes bloopers, screw-ups and some commentary on a couple of episodes. I think we even have clip from the original home movie that was shot for the pilot [on the DVDs]," Day said.
Day's favorite episodes from the series are 'Mac bangs Dennis' Mom' and 'Hundred Dollar Baby' (look for them on iTunes and DVD).
Catch "Sunny" at 9 p.m. CST every Thursday on FX.
