I'm watching the pilot episode of this new series starring Louis C.K. It's kinda like Curb Your Enthusiasm in a way.

    Damn, forgot to DVR this. He is one funny guy. Lucky Louie was one of my favorite shows. Damn you HBO.

    Yeah, it was pretty good. Like Seinfeld meets Lucky Louie.

    Nice, he was on the Daily Show the other day and I liked the sound of the new show. He is fucking funny. I am definitely going to have to set the DVR.

    Have it on DVR for tonight. How much did he get away with language wise with the show being on FX? They're usually pretty good about keeping letting swears and such go.

    On the daily show he gave examples of words he can and can't say. It was pretty funny. Sounds like he will get away with the basics but nothing too much.

    it was pretty good for a pilot... a lil too dependant on the standup clips IMO... as much as i love his standup i wanna see more of a "show" kindof format... im sure it'll get more developed as it goes

    just glad i have rescue me and louie to watch during the summer :)

    The whole date scene in the pilot was classic. The episode with Ricky Gervais as the Doctor was good too.

    Yes! I have been watching it on hulu lately. They have all 8 episodes on there right now. It is indeed like Curb your enthusiasm, except alot more dry. I'm a big fan of Louis CK so him having his own show is awesome to know.

    Check out the Heckler/Cop movie episode. Its the best one I've seen so far. The pilot being a close second.

    right? i was disappointed... its almost more of a drama than a comedy... too much old, divorced angst, not enough laughs

    Yeah, really not that great. Though I did like the episode when he goes on his kids' school trip and the bus gets stuck in Harlem, or the one where the broad likes to have sex with old dudes and she references Jamie Moyer during sex.

    I love Louie, but the show can be so awful, it is almost hard to watch (I do watch it anyway). I could be so much better!!

    I love dry humor, so his general take on things amuses the hell out of me.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is his second sitcom, is it not? I'm afraid if this one doesn't do well, he may not get another shot.

    yah he had one on HBO (i think?) called lucky louie... never actually saw that one but i heard it was even raunchier than his fx show... im surprised thats possible... :lol:

    i hope it gets picked up for another season and they just go a different direction with it... otherwise, i could see him in more of an ensemble cast like zach galifianakis in "bored to death"... dunno if he has what it takes to be a "leading man"
