“The Gang Does A Clip Show” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/75084-s13e07-the-gang-does-a-clip-show/?do=getLastComment) was "too big a surrealistic swing for Sunny to take," says Dennis Perkins, who adds that "the whole clip show premise is a little played out to start with. For one thing, how many sitcoms actually still do clip shows, those budget-conscious exercises in cynical repackaging that once littered the average show’s 24-episode seasons? For another, anytime the whole clip show conceit is announced, it’s a signal these days that a show is going to play around with the concept rather than whip out a package of greatest hits while the show’s actors spend a quick afternoon sitting around and asking, 'Hey, remember when . . ?'" ALSO: “The Gang Does A Clip Show” was one of the show's funniest-ever episodes. (https://decider.com/2018/10/17/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-clip-show)
