apokolypz
06.19.15 | I've been meaning to get into this on netflix but have been really lazely. Often when there is a tv show that has a lot of seasons, I try to stick away from it because I become the season a day binge watcher. Probably an easy question, if I like his standup will I like this? |
EyesWideShut
06.19.15 | Yea you would dig it.. Louie is a really easy show to binge since each episode is p different and you already enjoy his humor..
go for it dude. |
apokolypz
06.19.15 | Imma watch the pilot right now then *slumps back in chair 140 degrees with bowl of cheese doodles* |

Nocturnalize
06.19.15 | I haven't watched to much of it but what Ive seen so far I've enjoyed. I think I saw some of season 5 and it was awesome so that gives me high hopes for the rest |

06.19.15 | louie is so good. it's getting pretty dark but i mean it's not a 100% comedy show so yeah i really liked season 4 and 5. good show to binge watch too as each episode is like 20 min. |
furpa
06.19.15 | Wtf I thought season 5 was one of the best. It brought back a lot of the quirky weird artsy-ness. |
EyesWideShut
06.19.15 | Season 5 was my least fav because I didn't feel the comedy element was as strong as the first two seasons and the drama wasn't on Season 4 or even 3 level either. It was kinda a mess in a good way if that makes sense.
Season 1 was just a great time but Season 4 was the shows all around best imo. |
furpa
06.19.15 | Eh yeah I get that. S4 was the strongest and most cohesive on a narrative element, but I personally like the show best when it gets weird, like that episode in S5 with the surrealist dream sequences and the diarrhea song was fucking hilarious. |

11.11.17 | they sabotaged Louie by bringing up some old shit right before his movie was gonna drop.. |
Deathconscious
11.11.17 | Well i mean, too bad. I doubt they planned to come out with it at the most inconvenient time possible for him, thats just the way shit happened. |
EyesWideShut
11.11.17 | SABOTAGED |
artiswar
11.18.17 | This show was pretty damn good when it was on. Lucky Louie too. I miss staring at Jim Norton's ugly face every week. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | I'm listening to Norton/Roberts podcast, so I get to hear his cracked down, smoked through voice every week... |
artiswar
11.18.17 | Listening to his cracked down, smoked through voice is one thing, beholding that hideous cartoonish mug is another. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | well, you can also catch the studio tapes they put out on youtube |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | I gotta see if they have Lucky Louie OnDemand.. Louie was really hitting a creative peak with this show, then Horace & Pete and its a shame his movie basically got canceled like that. |
artiswar
11.18.17 | I don't know if he hit a creative peak, didn't he put the show on hiatus because he had nothing left to say at the time? I didn't really enjoy the last 2 seasons as much, but that show was always insanely hit or miss. But that's what made it great, he had total creative control. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | i mean, the entire premise of Louie was basically just him going on about whatever the fuck kind of story he kćould come up with, scrumbled together into one immersive hodgepodge of off-beat strangeness. nearly none of the episode correlate and it's all built on near randomness. he did things there, because "why the fuck not". |

11.18.17 | "I didn't really enjoy the last 2 seasons as much, but that show was always insanely hit or miss."
s 5 didnt feel super necessary (didnt he come up with dat shit while he was high or something) but it was still good; s 4 was fuckin classic
"its a shame his movie basically got canceled like that."
a shame that we might not get to see it, yes. i still really hope he just drops dat shit for free or something, although i recognise that that would probably be a terrible move financially. |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | I meant Louie's was hitting his prime especially with Horace & Pete and possible his new movie.. Im confident it'll leak this screener season especially since it was shown in some film festivals already. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | some people found parallels in the movie with the allegations story. like, the film's about an old director who takes a liking in protagonist's way-too-young daughter, and also there was reportedly a moment with a character masturbating in front of others... sooooo, take it as you wish |
EyesWideShut
11.18.17 | yup, I heard that too.. I wouldnt doubt Hollywood doing everything they can to throw the flick in the trash.. He basically dry snitched on the whole industry and himself. |
artiswar
11.18.17 | Season 4 was classic yeah. And Unique, the show was random but had way more through-lines than you're giving it credit for. |
Papa Universe
11.18.17 | Yeah, I can see that my comment come off rather critical. That's not what I meant it to be, though. |
artiswar
11.18.17 | I'm critical of the show as well, believe me. I even hated some episodes that people seemed to love. I just mean there's many storyline elements that carry over. |

07.07.19 | I cant be the only one who misses the greatness of LOUIE!! |
DominionMM1
07.07.19 | you’re not |
EyesWideShut
07.07.19 | yea I had to torrent all the seasons, such a great rewatch.. should be on Hulu or Netflix but as you know.. Politics as usual. |
Trundle
07.07.19 | currently rewatching myself, just started season 4, never saw season 5, didn't know it even happened till years later |
EyesWideShut
07.07.19 | Season 4 is soo good, those flashback episodes.. Season 5 is more of a hodgepodge, but some of his best writing imo. |
Trundle
07.10.19 | had to look up this time if that flash back of louie and his wife was Janet or not, seeing as she is white and Louie looks rather young to turn into the Louie of today in 10 years or so later, in season 4 |
EyesWideShut
07.10.19 | yea I always figured Louie was married twice or something.. Pamela says something about his translucent albino white kids haha |
