Louie -- New Series with Louis CK -- "Pilot; Poker/Divorce" -- 06/29/10

Louie

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)

FX ordered 13 episodes.

Promo:

Ricky Gervais (The Office UK) guest stars

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

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'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.

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.

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.

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.
