Future List: Louie


Louie: FX Tonight at 11pm starring Louie C.K.

Since we tell you alot here at SMC Studios what we "did watch"...what about letting you know about events we definitely "WILL WATCH".

This is an EVENT for me...summer used to be about crappy re-runs, bad barbeque and terrible family vacations...now that I am an adult and hate outdoor activities, the summers have gotten better over the years...it started with crappy reality tv that only aired during the summer...it was like a wonderful experiment in the ridiculous...shows like
Hells Kitchen
The Littlest Groom
Amish in the City
Wipeout
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Hole in the Wall
Downfall

And others...if you have any let me know...but now the powers that be are actually airing some interesting things...for me it started with the summers showing new episodes of Entourage (which Sunday nights sucked...but we watch anyway)...and last years "The League" starring SMC Fan favorite and "Friend of the Site" Mark Duplass...this combined with the anticipation of July which should bring us more The League, Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia, the start of Mad Men season 4 and Season 2 of Eastbound and Down...

Tonight though I will watch the Pilot of "Louie"...starring the funniest comedian today in my opinion Louie CK..the HBO show "Lucky Louie" was genius...granted the cast around him you may not have liked...but for me it was the writing of the episodic, plot of the show that was the problem..I hated when Louie went to sell a doll to make money in one episode...there were no jokes...the funniest parts were the everyday life of a man who hated his life, and his only out was to be honest about his life and tell his friends and family exactly what he was thinking...like calling his wife a "cunt" in one episode...show me that and you get funny...the doll episode sucked...so the show sputtered through 12 aired episodes

This time Louie is playing a father of 2 who is divorced...it mirrors his own life...Louie C.K. wants to make a good show...this being his second time I hope he nails it, check this site out for a review...according to the review the show is "sporadic and clunky"...I guess we will see...it can change...Charles in Charge got better with age didn't it...but the Steven Weber show did not...originally that show was about how Steven Weber was "Cursed" hence the name Cursed as the original title...I loved that show..and it had Chris Elliot and Wendell Peirce (Bunk from the Wire)...NBC thought it was bad I guess and then the show became crap...generic and finally cancelled.

Watch Louie tonight and then we can Playlist that Bitch
