my favorite stand up comedian, louis c.k., just had 13 episodes of a family sitcom ordered by hbo. think of everybody loves raymond with a lead character who is balding, a little overweight, and likely to call his t.v. neighbor fagator.

anyone here ever seen louis? hilarious.

head over to his website. he has tons of clips of his stand up on letterman, conan, etc. if his show is half as funny as his stand up, it will be the next cult classic.

well, this is sort of pathetic. i posted about this a year ago, i guess. no one took the bait. well, the show premieres after entourage next weekend. i get the feeling a few of you will watch. it looks like the honeymooners, except with profanity. anyone think the promos look promising?

The show is never as funny as the stand up. Maybe this will buck the trend.

I wasn't impressed by the commercials, but I'll probably watch it just because it's sandwiched between entourage and tourgasm.

cant wait to se lil jimmy norton !

I am looking forward to this show.

just saw the first episode on an hbo promo dvd. it's funny. it's taped in front of a live studio audience and it feels like watching the jeffersons or the honeymooners, two of my favorite shows ever. don't expect the slickness of entourage, but this shit will be able to hold its ground sunday nights.

What did you all think? I thought it started out slow but got funnier as the episode went on. It took a little to get used to the set and the whole vibe of the show. I thought the relationship between Louie and the black dude was a little forced. I give it a solid B for a pilot episode. Some hilarious moments\lines. I think this show could go either way as far as the public but I personally will likely get into it.

your pussy's like a chamber of financial ruin

best line of the show. It was okay, i'll give it another go next weekend.

It was the pilot episode loaded with people who don't have much of acting backgrounds. It is gonna get better. I like the realism of the dialogue, has a "my friends would say that" sort of feel to it. I also liked the interaction between the main character and his wife. It reminded me alot of me and my wife, the awkwardness of her asking him about jerking off....the way they were acting when she was trying to seduce him.

The show has lots of promise.

The best line was when his wife caught him in the closet and she said "Jessica Simpsson" and he said "But I wasn't jerking off to her music"

never seen the show, but this guy was pretty funny on stern today.

yeah hes a funny dude, i saw him do a set at bonnaroo 04. but i can't get into the whole live audience thing. its like a offkilter curb/sienfeld/stern hybrid. i'll give another shot though.

anyone watch episode 2? i'm a big louis fan and i thought that episode blew.

I thought it was pretty good this week

basically there are no jokes on this show, just him and his wife using words like pussy, snatch, and dick with each other.

married people dont talk like this to each other, in fact, no one really does, not even 3 guys sitting around getting drunk.

and the guy who plays the neighbor is one of the worst actors Ive ever seen.

cant Entourage be an hour? please?

after hearing the dude on Stern, i would love for him to succeed... but his show kind of blows.

i caught both episodes yesterday and liked the show a lot. It's pretty raw but that's my taste anyway
