Lucky Louie

[Dude]

Sorry if this is a DB, but I haven't noticed a thread on this yet.

Anyone else watching this? Tremendous show. A sitcom with swearing and everything. It's fantastic.

Anyone know who sings the song that runs during the credits? I kinda dig it.

Dude, what channel?

Dude, what channel?

HBO. Sorry.

 

[markvid]

It stinks and I don't like it.

(Only O&A listeners will get it).

 

[I'll never tell]

I like the show, but when he was on The Daily Show I almost pissed my pants ...

With link goodness ...

There has been some Lucky Louie discussion on the Entourage threads.

I've enjoyed each episode, although I could do without the full frontal male nudity.

I'm not a fan... I had very high expectations for the show since Louis C.K. and Jim Norton are two of the best comics working... It's not a terrible show, but it's not funny at all...

Hate to say this, but I agree 100 percent.

The second episode wasn't as good as the first. The creator doesn't know what direction to take it anymore and it is dissapointing for HBO. </sarcasm></whitlock>

 

[flanders]

agree. great talent, but just not that funny. something's missing.

 

[zeke12]

I've seen progress, but Mizzou's right that it's still not as funny as it could be. I'll probably keep watching.

And yeah, way to much ****. How 'bout some full frontal on the wife this week, boys?

 

[TigerVols]

Not a fan; just because they've lifted a few words from Deadwood doesn't make the show risky or funny. Just sophomoric.

 

[zeke12]

"Lifted a few words from Deadwood"?

Because they were the profanity trailblazers? I'm not a huge fan of the show, but c'mon.

 

[jimnorden]

I think it's a good show.

 

[Jeff Gluck]

And yeah, way to much ****. How 'bout some full frontal on the wife this week, boys?

Remember, as someone else pointed out on another thread, she's Bobby Hill from King of the Hill.

 

[imjustagirl2]

And Milo Oblong.

I keep Tivoing the show, but I'm not sure why. It's like it just tries to be outlandish without trying to be funny. And NO ONE on there can act.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I keep watching because I expect it to be so much better than it is... These are two of the best comics working and they're reduced to showing some guy's **** to get a laugh...

The last time I saw Norton in concert, I laughed so hard I had soda coming out of my nose and my buddy kept asking me if I was OK... Louis C.K.'s last HBO special was ****ing great...

I don't think any of the first three shows have made me laugh even once, and I wanted to like the show...

Tourgasm is also a huge disappointment...

 

[PaseanaARG]

I want to like it, but it's not funny. It's not. The "sex" episode got a few laughs here, but the other two I've seen were either average or dreadful.

 

[TigerVols]

Looks like we're not the only ones who believe this show is as funny as Charlie Weis' ass vomit...

Saw one episode, found it remarkably unfunny. And Louis CK is a funny guy. Kind of a cruder, live and somehow less funny version of that "Mind of the Married Man" that at least offered occasional nudity few years back.
