Louie (Louis C.K.'s show on FX)

she picked up her coat off the back of the chair before she left. xposts

massive lol from the closet/kitchen/wall apt.

No, watch the scene again. She's wearing the coat when they enter the apartment, it goes to a different shot and she's not wearing it

ok so call the police man what do you want from me hummus or an apartment eh

I don't even normally notice these things

I've had so many awkward moments going to look at apartments that are occupied. It's one thing if it's a rental and the person is moving out because they can't afford it...another thing when you're looking to buy and you go look at a 1 bedroom apartment and are greeted by a mother and her 3 babies and all they want to do is move into a house so they don't all have to sleep in the same room but they can't sell it because the economy sucks and for a moment they look at you like you're their only hope but then they know you're just another person who's not going to buy there weird apartment.

pointing out continuity errors in louie is like taking out an umbrella & extra layers when the sun is shining, you are not in the spirit of the party goin on

I noticed it too. It seemed so obvious to me that I'm sure they noticed it themselves but just couldn't be bothered going back to fix it, because we all know we're watching a television programme, after all.

There's almost certainly a bit of dialogue where she takes off her jacket but something must have happened to it that made it unusable.. I guess it does add to the general hallucinatory panic and confusion that Louie's feeling at that moment, kinda works in a way

The "twirling" scene in the garden with the real estate agent was tremendous!

god the homeless guy thing slayed me

ALSO the scene the accountant was a season high point, when the guy is like "you can buy a house that costs...................... [PERFECT AMOUNT OF PAUSE] ............................. seven thousand dollars."

dude announced some la shows this wknd that sold out in like a couple mins

i tried to get tickets but no go. $20 is a decent price for a "testing new material" show but it's still really more than i can spend right now.

$20! Wow.

westside traffic is gonna be insane anyway.

wish he'd play a decent nyc gig again sometime soon

nominated for best actor in a comedy!

hahaha I love this show, but of all the things to nominate it for...

oh, I see it also got a writing nod. nice!

i hope they use the 'your father is dead' scene for his clip

^ genuine lol @ this

lol

i just watched this last episode again. so many little things i missed the first time! he thanks the parent that he met last season for coming with him to look at apartments, and she's like "you're WELcome", breaking his balls for being so earnestly polite. and oh man, the very end of the conversation with his accountant, after he's been brought so brutally down to earth about his finances. "but what about... obama..." hahaha

i totally forgot about the homeless-guy-exchange from the last ep until reading this, which goes into it a bit (inasmuch as it says there's nothing to go into):

Best episode ever. It's making me embarrassed for other tv shows.

"I dunno...forty?"

between the joan rivers cameo and roseanne's reality show, it's been a stellar week for mouthy elderstateswoman comics.

she can really act, her monologue about it being a calling was slaying me

she really can act. it kind of makes you wonder what could have been, in that respect.

am i right in thinking at one point she said "and somebody'll replace you, like dave cook or whatever that asshole's name is"

cause that's how i heard it, and i did a little mental fist-pump

yeah, something along those lines, it was a dane cook burn.

Yeah, I think she said Dane Clark. It made me laugh.

I thought it was Dave Cook. A bit of a jab but no biggie. I read an interview with Louis where he downplayed the rip-off...said something like "hey, the guy's still up there for over an hour, he's contributing something" or something like that.

So, this may fall squarely under challops, but as much as I looooove Louie, I kind of think Lucky Louie was better. The new one is definitely a better looking and smarter show; but there's something about the quick pacing and subversion of the three-camera sitcom premise that sort of made the same bleak material hit a little harder for me...

I mean, things like the faggot monologue and the heckler takedown obviously elevate this show to emotional ground that Lucky Louie couldn't have dreamt of touching. But when you get right down to which is a more compulsively watchable 25 minutes of television, I don't know...

never saw lucky louie

I loved certain things about Lucky Louie, but I sometimes felt it was trying too hard.

I don't think there was any subversion of the three-camera premise, though, other than depicting a slightly more honest working class household and the language/nudity, though I don't actually think any of those things are "subversions."

it had a lot more pamela adlon for one thing

I mean, i think the elevator pitch was "Honeymooners with swears."

I guess I take subversion as some sort of sending up or destroying the notions of what a multi-camera sitcom is, and I don't think he was doing (or intending) that. Don't get me wrong, he did it a damn sight better than most other sitcoms of the past decade, but I don't think he was quite up to the challenge. But they're a lost art imo.

That's My Bush a far better sitcom send-up

thats my bush truly one of the dumbest and least funny things ever aired on television. also, louie doesn't seem to be doing much of a send-up anyway, imo. its all incidental to the vignette approach.

louie is so good! just started watching and cant wait for a new episode

cant wait for a new episode

^^
i don't know whether it's just the circumstance of having been the first thing i've watched in sync with its broadcast, so weekly, for a while, or whether it's that there's the added element of surprise - i wonder if it will be funny! or depressing! or if a homeless guy will get graphically creamed by a truck! - but it is a real highlight of my week knowing it is coming up

yeah for me its a dose of both, too

still loling about the guys in suits swapping the crazy dude

yeah, i mean definitely I will say the "how is he doing this on tv" factor ups the ante too. I just don't see myself watching a lot of these a second time...

i watched two episodes of lucky louie so maybe i need more exposure but louie feels head and shoulders above
this and breaking bad are neck and neck with MUST SEE AS SOON AS IT AIRS

no tv show deserves all caps

LOUIE DOES
