    Anyone watch this? I just found it on HBO Go and it's freakin hilarious. It's Louis CK uncensored in a sitcom format. It's ten times funnier than Louis on FX.

    That show is hilarious-much funnier than his FX show. Rewatched the first season recently after I bought the box set. We laughed our asses off when it first came out on HBO 6/7 years ago & laughed as much watching it again recently.

    Good show, not nearly as good as Louie. It got canceled after one season, before everyone jumped on the bandwagon and started claiming Louis ck as their favorite comedian. If you didn't know about this show you probably only heard about ck a couple of years ago but claim to of liked him for ever.

    Never heard of the show but he's been one of my favorites his comedy special in 96...the story of him getting strip searched is one of my all time favorite bits. :p

    Of course, not having HBO would be my excuse for not hearing of it. :eek:

    The HBO show is what actually put me onto Louie in the first place. I loved that show, and was bummed that it didn't make it past a first season. I'm glad to see how much success he's had since then though.

    Well Louie isn't a straight up sitcom/comedy, more like a dramedy... and easily a better show in my opinion. I love Lucky Louie, but he's clearly gotten better since then.

    well, some of us didn't grow up with HBO and i found myself laughing way more on this show than the FX one.

    I was being a little harsh, apologies. The beauty of Louie on fx is that it takes a pessimist to really enjoy the show to the full extent and that's what ck's comedy is all about. Don't get me wrong, i thought lucky Louie was a really good, but Jim Norton was my favorite part of the show.

    Hopefully you're getting paid for that.

    I hated it. And I love his standup and like Louie on F/X. Maybe I need to rewatch it (have not seen it since it ran on HBO in the mid-2000's) again
