, premiered on FX on September 17, 2009. The season contains 12 episodes and concluded airing on December 10, 2009.
As for The Gang's dating lives: The Waitress announces her upcoming wedding, which sends Dee into a panic. Mac and Dennis worry that Charlie will be lost without his Waitress-stalking, so they introduce him to the world of online dating. Dennis explains his dating system to the noncomprehending gang. Dee corresponds with a soldier online, but when he comes to Philadelphia he turns out to be wheelchair-bound.
Frank decides he doesn't know how much time he has in the world and becomes a slobbering drunk, attempts to hang himself after losing all his money, has sex with Artemis while she puts bacon bits in her hair, and tries to sleep with the same women as Dennis...after Mac has had his shot at them. Frank also dresses up as a trash man for his wrestling-for-the-troops persona, and decides he wants to see the Grand Canyon before he dies (but the gang's road-trip doesn't quite leave Philadelphia).
