The thing that impresses me most about this episode is that Louie is starting to repeat itself in its basic plots - Louie does comedy, is drawn out of his own world of self-loathing and excessive eating by some stranger, and it often ends up awkward, partly because of him.  This is not really different in kind from…

Hahaha, I had forgotten about that.  That and the posed, angular woman.  It almost seemed like something out of Fassbinder.

I know Zack mentioned it, but this show must've literally blown people's minds when it first aired.  Can you imagine just idly watching television and this new show comes on, and 2 minutes in you've got the 'It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart' sketch ranking famous deaths?  I'd have to check my TV.

Yeah, this is my feeling too.  Damn prescription drug companies ruining my entertainers with pills instead of good old fashioned booze.

Not to mention Richard Dawson, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra.  It seems like entertainers being between buzzed and soused all the time in public has gone the way of the telegram and the Dumont network.

This. And stop running fucking scrolling messages.  IFC is in the process of being dropped from AT&T, I think it is?  So they have a 2 minute scrolling message during the show after the first commercial break.  Yes, I get it, you're trying to mobilize me in your fight by being really goddamn annoying.  But you're a…

I would like your joke if it used the proper semi-colon instead of a comma.  Nothing ruins Internet humor more than poor punctuation.  Good day.

It took me a minute of hard thinking to remember which character died in Season 2.  And I even like the show.

Trying to add something new, I guess.  I think it's a little more difficult than 'name a state'.  I liked the wrinkle in one of the latest ones, where it was name a film that starts with a number.
