* According to Kaitlin, RCG were trying to figure out a way to get Dennis and Dee to sleep together, but they couldn't quite work it out and so Dee slept with Charlie instead. Lampshaded in "Time's Up", as Dennis hears she raped Charlie, and his main problem sounds like her choice of partners.

Suffice it to say, Frank (and the show in general) would have been ''very'' different if this happened, with Creator/GlennHowerton speculating that Frank would have become the character that possessed a HairTriggerTemper rather than Dennis.

* Creator/KristenWiig was the runner-up for the role of Dee before Creator/KaitlinOlson was cast.
* Creator/AaronPaul was set to film a cameo at one point, but his filming schedule for the ''Film/NeedForSpeed'' movie prevented this. It eventually came to fruition in the sixteenth season, which reunites him with his ''Series/BreakingBad'' co-star, Creator/BryanCranston.
* According to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1olm4y/i_am_rob_mcelhenney_ama/cct6efa/ Rob's AMA]], [[Series/{{Jackass}} Ryan Dunn]] was in talks with the cast to appear in Season 7, but he died before anything could be set in stone or filmed.
* The original pilot (without Dee) was called "It's Always Sunny on TV", based on the Music/AHa song “The Sun Always Shines on TV”. Set in Los Angeles, it featured Glenn, Rob, and Charlie [[AsHimself as struggling actors trying to pitch a TV show]] and Creator/MorenaBaccarin as [[TheOtherDarrin Carmen the trans woman]].
* In one of their early attempts to film a pilot, Rob [=McElhenney=] was focused on filming and didn't plan to appear on camera at all. Instead, the Gang had a member named [[AuthorAvatar Rob]] played by Creator/DavidHornsby (Cricket).
* One of the earliest versions of the script that would eventually evolve into the show's pilot had Rob [=McElhenney=] and Charlie Day playing washed-up adult versions of Creator/HaleyJoelOsment and Creator/FrankieMuniz, respectively. This was eventually referenced during the promotional campaign for season 8, which depicted Osment becoming TheOtherDarrin for [=McElhenney=]'s character.
* A Season 6 episode "The Gang Gets Successful" was written and filmed but went unaired. Its basic plot and scenes were adapted for the Season 7 episode "How Mac Got Fat".
* A proposed WorkingTitle for the show was ''Jerks'', among many others. Glenn Howerton has stated that somewhere he still has the list of working titles they came up during development.
* Creator/DaveBautista auditioned for the role of Luther Mc[=Donald=].
* Rob [=McElhenney=]'s first instinct when deciding on Mac's full name was Jimmy [=McDonald=]. He was only persuaded to change it to [[UnfortunateNames Ronald McDonald]] when he was told to make it more of a comedic reveal.
* The Waitress was given a name in one of the pre-series pilots. While it is no longer considered to be the character's actual name in canon, the cast ''still'' refuse to disclose what it was for the sake of maintaining the joke.
* A whole script was written for season 5 but never used. It involved a member of the ''{{Series/Jackass}}'' crew visiting the bar to [[DrowningMySorrows drown his sorrows]] while the Gang tries to perform ''Jackass''-esque pranks on him. It was suggested on the ''Sunny'' podcast that the crew might repurpose the script in the future.
* The Waiter was intended to be revealed to be the same person as the HR Director seen in "Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack" due to both characters being played by the same actor, but this has thus far never happened.
* An idea floated for Season 15 was to have Cricket benefit heavily from the COVID pandemic. Cricket would run a successful business, and no one would know he was homeless because of virtual backgrounds and remote work.
* A cut subplot for "The Gang Replaces Dee With a Monkey" had Cricket attempting to compete with the titular monkey for the spot of Dee's replacement.
