10 Best It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Characters Only In One Episode
2. Cindy
Mindy Kaling is a very divisive figure in television, despite being on the universally acclaimed cast and writing staff of The Office. Her own show - The Mindy Kaling Project - and her generally outspoken nature have secured her almost as many critics as they have fans.
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia doesn’t feel like her kind of show at all, and that’s exactly why she was perfect.
Mindy Kaling in real life was as big a part of this than any on screen turn too. Though no one believed she’d really be replacing Glenn Howerton’s Dennis, the fake out was still enough to attract ire and intrigue in equal amounts.
Cindy is clearly better for the bar and the Gang than Dennis, yet as soon as he returns they drop her in a heartbeat. They even start to act against her advice thinking Mac’s Dennis sex doll is judging them.
The fact they’re playing both sides of American politics so they always come out on top perfectly suits IASIP’s unique viewpoint. Likewise, that Cindy is better, but everyone still wants the dysfunctional and destructive Dennis, would only work on this show, and Mindy’s Cindy is the ideal vehicle to highlight that.
