Anyone else seen his FX show? It's not bad and I shall continue tuning in since it may get really good.

I like it, pedantic buts its Louis CK and the TV show is called Louie.

There's been some great moments so far, has potential to be a really good comedy. Never heard of the guy before this either.
I watched the Ricky Gervais one last night and nearly pissed myself at that line "I'm so old I pulled a muscle giving my wife the finger behind her back".
Dunno why, just found it really funny.

I saw him do some stand up a few years ago (not live). He's not bad if I recall correctly.
My wife was talking about one of his stand ups she saw this weekend. I'll have to give the show a watch.
4th episode was up last night
One of the best shows on tv at the moment, apart from being genuinely funny it has some heartfelt observations and creative storytelling.
I love how it doesn't stick with convential storylines or storytelling... It's hard to put your finger on why it's so good, but it really is...
I loved the after-show clip during the credits when racist grandma was talking out of character

I've been around the internets, so I'm sorted
Cheers for clarifying, though... I just assumed some twit had been a week late in uploading last week's episode when I saw no 8 on the recently uploaded list
Watched some of his standups last year, I'm a big fan.
Love his standup. It's almost as if he's not all that funny himself, but life is just really funny and he notices it a hell of a lot more than most of us do. The stuff with his kids just has me in stitches every time.

He's been one of my favorites since discovering Lucky Louie a few years ago. Probably seen everything he's done.
Talking funny is a must see. I'm sure loads of you have seen it but for those viewing this thread and haven't seen it it's an HBO special with Seinfeld, Ricky Gervais, Louie and Chris Rock talking about stand-up.

I thought that was generally pretty terrible, he's matured massively as a comic since then. Lucky Louie was painfully formulaic and a typical stand-up sitcom; basically a vehicle for all the jokes they've been doing on the circuit for years preceding them making it big.
In my opinion the funniest man around at the moment and I was just about to start a thread on him. The double bill that was on last night was awesome, the first episode had me rolling in parts but the second with the excellent Doug Stanhope was great too but in an entirely different way, darker and ponderous it was a nice way to showcase the depth of his talent.
It had some genuinely brilliant moments but it just didn't work in that format at all. I think it was a worthy experiment on his part in trying to put adult language/topics into a mainstream sitcom style and if he had more experience as a writer at that time it could have been something but alas we have Louie instead which is far superior so I'm not going to complain.
Oh yes, it was a sitcom but it had it's brilliant moment. Like when he tried to answer all his daughters question honestly (think it was the first scene in the pilot). Or just how much of a jerk the daughter was in general. It's the premonition of what his show is like now, the father daughter relationship and all the honesty from his point of views.
The side characters were generally nothing special. Pretty much just the three of them. Although one thing stuck with me. The fact that the guy that always showed up all Kramer-ish only whistled when he was sad and though the opposite was bizzare.
I love Pamela Adlon too.
I also keep giggling at the name 'Shitty Fat Tits'

Watching episode 8... He has the weirdest masturbation fantasies
I might use that. The forthrightness is a bit of a turn-on.

Really like this show...
And here's the reason Louis CK is my idol!

last weeks episode with the army was exceptional television
Fast becoming my favourite show, I almost watched the new episode of Louie before the new Curb the other day (unthinkable a few months ago). I know it sounds pretentious but he's really matured as a comic and a writer, it's clearly not just about the laughs any more.
I read that post but forgot about it, and only now just got around to watching it... but my first instinct after watching it (even during, about half-way in) was that I wanted to come to this thread and post that it was just beautiful television
Louie's become one of my favourite shows over the course of this second season... the first season was great as well
Louie CK is probably my favourite ginger Mexican comedian.
Yeah it was for me the episode that made it jump ahead of most shows, it is quite amazing how he has become a writer that can write and most importantly pace a show, that is so inclusive and emotive whilst being realistically pessimistic and balanced.I read that post but forgot about it, and only now just got around to watching it... but my first instinct after watching it (even during, about half-way in) was that I wanted to come to this thread and post that it was just beautiful television

Stand-out episode, definitely... And it's clear they wanted to say something with the episode, it being 40 mins long. They took such good time, using music and scenery to create an atmosphere, and I have to say that the country western musician's music was pretty good as the episode got going as well, especially that song about the circle round the cross.
I may have to watch it again today.
I love this routine
Fun fact - Dane Cook made his career early on stealing jokes from this guy
There was an episode about that subject this season.
This show is brilliant.
His stand up is also brilliant. He really is a comic's comic.
I'll definitely be going to his comedy show next month in New York.
His sitcom has me completely enthralled for every second it's on, the guy is annoyingly talented.
Best comedian working right now.
I really like what he's done with selling his tickets and videos directly as well. Smart man.

That was funny with the woman in the truck and the BJ!
He's also got a near unheard of deal with FX. He has complete control over his show. He has final cut which damn near never happens. I don't think even Sorkin has it. He's definitely a good businessman in addition to a good comedian.
Apparently FX offered him considerably less money than other networks but they were the only ones to offer full control.
Doesn't he throw out his material every year and write new stuff from scratch?
Yup, although he isn't alone in doing that. He was inspired by Chris Rock and Seinfeld to reinvigorate his act every year by throwing the old stuff away.
Feck, didn't realise the new season had started!
