It's Always Sunny on The Riches

To be completely honest it’s not very sunny for most of the characters on The Riches, but it is for me - Hartley Underwood’s back! Yes, Dahlia’s one-armed nemesis, the autocratic president of EFHA, played to outsized comedic perfection by Kaitlin Olson from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Hers is the next lawsuit that Doug has to make disappear on threat of losing his job. He does this by assuming that her seemingly perfect life is probably almost as shady as his is, and he strikes gold. Hartley Underwood used to be Mary Louise Blodgett, who had a penchant for stealing designer clothes and adult toys. Who writes the names on this show? They’re practically jokes by themselves. Hartley Underwood still has the propensity to pilfer the designer clothes, at the very least. The Malloys find out time and again that their new buffer neighbors are liars and crooks. I wonder if this was something Wayne knew all along, not having been born a traveler? If so, is it part of the reason that he ended up working for the biggest cheat in town?
