Synopsis for episode 1:

Spoiler:
Comedian Louis C.K. plays himself, sort of, in a sitcom about a newly single stand-up comic raising two daughters in New York and reflecting on his life in his act. In the opener, Louie accompanies them on a school field trip and also goes on a date. Neither goes well.


Synopsis for episode 2:

Spoiler:
After his divorce becomes final, Louie looks up a girl from school with whom he had shared "a moment." Meanwhile, Louie plays poker with friends, one of whom is gay.


Premieres tonight at 11pm. 2 episodes air (30 mins each)

I'm looking forward to this sitcom. Not too familiar with Louis CK's standup routine.

Loved Lucky Louie and love his stand up, so I'm all in.

I think he's great, but Lucky Louie was awful.

Lucky Louie grew on me, but I definitely expect more from Mr. CK. I will be tuning in though because I love his stand-up.

I'll give this a shot, some funny moments in the promo.

I've seen him live a few times and met Louie last time I saw his act - a really nice guy. Lucky Louie grew on me despite it's awful production value - I've heard that LOUIE is a much better show than that (while still being low budget) and really hope it lives up to my expectations. I'd love to see this guy have a hit show :)

I've read some positive buzz about this. I didn't care for Lucky Louie, but will be tuning in for this.

I guess I'm in the minority because I also loved Lucky Louie. It probably was because it also had Jim Norton (who I've seen and met quite a few times) and Pamela Adlon.

/\ I loved it too. I have no idea why HBO cancelled it, though. It must've cost $1.98 per episode to produce.

Count me in for this new series

I'll check it out since I like Louie CK's standup, but I haven't been too impressed with the promos.

Definitely tuning in tonight. Wasn't really a fan of Lucky Louie, but love his stand up.

Yeah I also love his stand up but hated Lucky Louie. Hopefully this is better.

Absolutely can't wait for this tonight. His stand up is hilarious and every time he's on O & A he's hands down the funniest person on the show.

Looking forward to this, he was great on Jon Stewart. and the clip they showed was hilarious!

Same here. I love his standup but that show was unwatchable.

Wasn't overly impressed with the commercials I've seen but I'll give this a shot.

In for at least this pair.

I'm in. And like others, not a big fan of Lucky Louis, but love the stand up.

seems like a fucked up version of Seinfeld. Likin it so far

I don't have FXHD on the TV I'm watching it on, so the framing is pretty bad. Pretty good show so far though.

I love the guy who bangs on the bathroom door saying he has to take a huge dump, and then just leaves.
