Seems like 3 seasons is about the average length a TV show can go before the writers run out of good ideas and start flinging poo poo at the wall to see if it will keep people interested

louie is a good standup and a bad actor insisting on managing every part of the show himself was just a bad idea because he's bad at it.

louis ck is a lot like your average redditor/goon in that he's a white dude who thinks he's a lot more profound than he really is

pretty much any comedian who gets rich and famous for "telling it like it is" will inevitably crawl up their own rear end because they get it in their head that every thought they have is ground-breaking and important

There's a rumour that a well known comedian meets a comedy duo at a festival. They gush about how he's a big inspiration for them etc. He says, that's nice, how about we have sex? They say, what the gently caress, no, so he starts jacking off in front of them. They're too shocked to do anything about it. http://gawker.com/5894527/which-beloved-comedian-likes-to-force-female-comics-to-watch-him-jerk-off So, the current popular bet is that it was Louis CK and the female duo comedy act were likely to be G&O. So then, later on, this comes out. http://dangerousminds.net/comments/lydia_lunch_wants_to_be_louis_cks_friend_with_benefits quote:This was uploaded a couple of months ago, and how I missed it for this long I do not know, but No-Wave high priestess Lydia Lunch has posted a video openly soliciting a sexual relationship with the doughy ginger comedian Louis CK. I found it on the Vimeo page of photographer Jasmine Hurst, at which, if you’re a fan of Lunch, you should really have a look, as it also contains a recording of her Future Feminism monologue from a couple of weeks ago.

Louis C.K. and G&O sounds way too juicy to be true, but gently caress if I don't want it to be true. Louis C.K. does seem like he's hit the apex of his ability to be successful while still being "insightful" and "ground-breaking", although the fat girl monologue in that one episode was brilliant and depressingly true full stop.

Whoever it was the important thing here is to take a trashy anonymous gossip story seriously and base your opinion of a person on it. Just an average guys take

I liked that episode when he took his kids to see his 100+ year old great aunt or whatever. He goes on and on and on about how hard/interesting the old days were and that his kids should listen deeply to what this woman has to say because she's old and therefore wise. Then when they get there she says friend of the family about 100 times.

There's a great moment on that lovely web show he does "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" where he's with Mel Brooks and Mel is like "I don't like his comedy, but his marketing is really impressive. That guy -uh Louis C.K." and Seinfeld is immediately having loving none of it and goes "I didn't come here to shill for Louis C.K." Pretty big  all told.

That was a really good episode, season 1 I think Season 1 was extremely good, when his date runs off on an helicopter is a top 10 TV moment for me

When Louie is out on a date in a diner and he's confronted by those "bullies", seriously the tension in that scene was palpable. It was not only good acting but it was well written and realistic as hell.

It was not only good acting but it was well written and realistic as hell. The show worked really well as a series of tight little vignettes. I don't think he was able to sustain the longer story arcs. Also, numerous instances of women chasing after this reluctant ginger blob is a stretch.

yea he did great poo poo like the catholic shame episode and the diner episode, which were cool vignettes but his attempt at an entire season of drama was not good. i get what he trying to do, its just that its bad as art

And that's exactly why I said I think this show's reached it's apex. He's too far away from schlubsville to really be insightful or genuine from that perspective. Now he needs to evolve or die.

I don't really have anything against Louis C.K. but if he really wants to inherit the mantle of George Carlin like he so clearly wants to it's time for him to put up or shut up now that his initial climb to fame has peaked.

problem is that the show has bad pacing because louie isn't a film man and should have left the parts he doesn't know how to do to the professionals instead of making Babby's First TV Show and getting it on the air because he's famous enough to bargain a good contract with Fox
