    Which network airs the uncensored version?

    Watching the show has me whistling that 'Brother Louie' song all the time the last few days.
    This morning, as I was walking the dog, I started wondering: Does the IUPUI band play 'Brother Louie' at sporting events?

    The arrival of Louie has made up for a very disappointing season of Rescue Me so far.

    I think Rescue Me is pretty damn good this season. Then again, I'm a blind homer in that department. It very well could be shit, but I still enjoy the piss out of it.

    Cable networks have really saved television. We're seeing great series staying on the air because they're willing to stick by quality shows that are underperforming in the ratings in the first few seasons.

    No way that Mad Men, Breaking Bad, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Louie, etc. survive their first seasons on network television.

    No way that Sunny MAKES it on TV on a network.

    I guess I just find a lot of the family issues old and uninteresting at this point, and I'm not laughing near as much as I used to.

    Point taken, but with a few tweaks, it's much more likely to get on network TV than two guys cooking meth (Breaking Bad) and a guy who segregates a bus between black and white children on a field trip (Louie).

    ditto on louis rescuing 'rescue me'. that show has gone dark -- and bad -- faster than any great show i've ever seen. it's as if the writers decided they wanted to stay away from all the great insane male banter, crawl into an endless AA meeting and get 'sopranos-mad men'-heavy in a bid to pick up all the emmys they should've won two years ago. too bad. but last night's 'louie'? with the hated mom who announced her lesbianism? i was on the floor...
