Anyone see this new show by Louis C.K on FX yet (at least it's FX down here in the States, not sure if you get that in Canada)? Pretty funny stuff...reminds me of Hung a bit, but a bit more biting. The title song hooks you from the start.

If you like your comedy pessimistic and dark (ie, Glee is not your bag), I'd recommend giving it a shot. It's lazy and sharp at the same time....pretty good stuff.

Yeah, I think the bitter crusty set of CP would enjoy it considerably.

Only 3 episodes so far, so maybe it hasn't gone out out to web sources yet....

Great show. Was able to finally find it on the internets and watch the first two episodes.

This is the best part so far: *Warning: language*

Yep, great scene....even if the "flaming faygot" origin story is a myth.

Great show - I was disappointed that Lucky Louie didn't have a bigger following - hopefully more people tune in this time - Louis CK is brilliant

I liked the first episode with that whole dating angle better than the second. He's a pretty funny guy. I really liked him in Parks and Recreation.

Louis is the only guy that can get me to watch regular TV, downloaded the first 3 episodes and loved 'em.

Since then they have completely disappeared from the usual torrent sites. If anyone has a lead on where I can find episode 4, please let me know.

Louie CK is my favorite comic by far. I've watched the first 4 episodes, and so far I haven't found the actual show overly hilarious compared to his stand-up, except for a few moments. I find myself just wanting to watch the clips of the stand-up throughout the show. I think this show has more potential than his first one though.

Episode 5 was great and a nice rebound from the previous episode.

I liked the first two episodes but the last few have been kinda odd (airport scenes and plane crash scene).

Last Tuesday's episode was a little weak other than the airplane scenes and when he was hailing the cab for the airport. Still, one awesome show that everyone should check out if they haven't already.

Here's Louis talking about the show and its production on Opie and Anthony. Its lengthy (12 parts)
