have you watched louie on fx? if you haven't you're lame or didn't know about it. the second season started a while ago and the show was renewed for a third season.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNRNCk3YwqE
Louis CK is the best stand-up comedian today. His other short-lived HBO series, Lucky Louie, was pretty fucking good too.
I've been watching the show from the start, and I really liked the first season. The second season so far has been a big disappointment, to me at least. That "Joan" episode was particularly painful for me. I really dislike Joan Rivers, but I'm not being biased because I really dislike Dane Cook but I liked the episode he was on. My roommates and I agree that while the first season was a good mix of funny/awkward/depressing, the second season has been mostly awkward and depressing and very little funny. I've been enjoying Wilfred more. Still going to keep watching it because Louie C.K. is great and the first season of the show built up a ton of good will for me.

C'mon, how can you not like that episode? That ending!
The ending was the only funny part of it to me. I just hate Joan Rivers, and her giving Louie all that advice got repetitive, she said the same thing over and over and just kept making the same self-deprecating joke. Yeah, you're really old, we get it. I just don't find Joan Rivers funny at all and that episode was ALL Joan Rivers. So maybe I was being biased, what I meant was, I know the show can be funny even when it revolves around someone I don't like (Dane Cook), but the Joan one just didn't work for me like that one did.
The season finale was pretty sad. Also, what about his niece?And why not discuss the Wilfred season finale too? That ending... I can't wait for next week, with It's Always Sunny and Archer coming back!
So yeah the second episode is on tonight. This season's first episode was great, especially with the reveal of Louis C.K.'s ex-wife.
I love Louis CK and I just started watching this since I got a bit of free time, it's hilarious. Was watching ep.6 of season 1 just now and I've got a stomach cramp from laughing too much after eating lunch.
