10th season, new network for 'Sunny'

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the sitcom created by (and co-starring) St. Joe's Prep grad Rob McElhenney, has been renewed for a 10th season, FX announced Thursday. With the ninth season scheduled to premiere this fall, that takes the show through the fall of 2014. But instead of remaining where it is, "Sunny," along with "The League," "Legit" and "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell," will be used starting this fall to help launch a new spinoff network, FXX, aimed at 18- to 34-year-olds.

10th season, new network for 'Sunny'

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the sitcom created by (and co-starring) St. Joe's Prep grad Rob McElhenney, has been renewed for a 10th season,  FX announced Thursday.

With the ninth season scheduled to premiere this fall, that takes the show through the fall of 2014.

But instead of remaining where it is, "Sunny," along with "The League," "Legit" and "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell," will be used starting this fall to help launch a new spinoff network, FXX, aimed at 18- to 34-year-olds.

FX, where "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" launched in 2005, is available in 98 million homes. The network estimates FXX -- how long before it stops looking like a typo? -- will be in 74 million homes in its first year, "making it one of the most widely distributed entertainment networks ever for an ad-supported cable network in its inaugural year."

    Might as well just tack another X on there and make it official.

    FXX? What a clunky-to-pronounce name.

    Can't wait for the increase in the cable bill to pay for FXX. I am sure the 2 hours a year I watch it will be totally worth it.

    Why do we need another FX? Not enough room for terrible Sons of Anarchy reruns?

    The Tonner's a big fan of the show but must agree, do we really need another FX channel? The Tonner is flummoxed. Time to drink beer.

    Never watch this show. It's for old people and boring.

    This show is most definitely not for old people.
