Episode List[]
Notes[]
- This was the first season to use the short version of the opening title sequence.
- For this season, they decided to raise up the "production value" of several episodes (in particular,
07x04 and 07x06) by adding some kick-ass bell sound effects in them. [previously they did it
only once - in Christmas special.] - Rob McElhenney gained 50 pounds of weight in preparation for the season. He decided to make his character fat because he noticed that in most sitcoms, the characters get better looking each year, and he wanted to "break the norm" so to speak. He suggested everybody gain 50 pounds as well but they were not into the idea.
