It's Always Sunny actually supports your point as the seasons are short and the creatives are able to work to their own schedule (within reason).

The key for British sitcoms is that the characters have to be stuck together. So a setting like a prison for Porridge or a flatshare for Peep Show where they can't move anywhere else because of money and lack of other friends. It is significant that in the UK Office Tim announces he is quitting his job but doesn't…

Short seasons is the reason Sunny is still going strong a decade in. They couldn't put out 23 episodes - reset each time - of obnoxious people being mean with no long story arcs, they would be insufferable. The shorter seasons also means they can the stellar cast & writers as there's time for other projects.

Big Bang Theory is on a major channel in the UK and Friends was huge.

I'm really enjoying the nihilism of It's Always Sunny, especially when the characters are fully committed to their ridiculous schemes. Reminds me of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I really hope when the series finishes there isn't a happy ending where the gang get what they want (except possibly Charlie finding love,…

So I'm only just getting into the show and this may all be revealed in later episodes but it was very interesting the waitress went to school with the gang. Could that mean Charlie has been in love with her for a long long time? Maybe that love helped him get through his uncle's molestation at the time and not just…

Maybe Frank knew there was a trap so gun came out, just as they predicted.

Or maybe the Dayman is Mac? Charlie does think he's a badass who can protect him.

Suuuuuuper late because I just got into the show but I think the troll is Charlie's mom who lets her brother stay over to get some cash (which young Charlie's psyche absorbed as pimping him out).

The dragons did have good aerial combat skills but when Drogon was destroying that big ship he was pretty stationary.

Very considerate of them. The Romans would never.

Wun Wun helped Sansa too (yes, yes, she has married twice but she is now happily a widow).

Ramsay wouldn't have had a problem hitting a target on the ground. There wasn't long grass to hide in, he just would have died looking really stupid.

He probably couldn't resist the opportunity to kill a giant.

It was probably pro-Stark propaganda circling round the North.

He delegitimises Jon's claim to Winterfell without falling back on the bastard line. He also doesn't have to kill Jon and distracts him with a deep existential crisis that might take him away.

Or even a horse corpse. He also could have cleared the human corpse wall but he was spooked by the pikes.

That's a great change because the shield wall closing in was terrifying. It being broken up by a cavalry charge was awesome.

I think it can be max 3 months since end of Season 5. The show has always been woolly about timings and Cersei's hair regrew quickly but Sansa and Jon can't have been hanging round Northern houses for months.

I'd like to see a summary of all the things Littlefinger has done during the course of the books / TV series. He's offed Jon Aryn, Robert, Joffrey, Lysa, arranged marriage between Tyrells & the Crown, taken over the Vale…
