I think you are 100% right. And a really excellent way of putting it. Louie really is up there with the auteurs right now.

Ugh this was so bad it made me question my love of the West Wing.

Hey HBO message to you. I live in a place that has NO HBO and no local distribution of your channel at all, it's not in the USA or Europe either, I torrent your programs all the time. 
Here is my message to you.

I can watch Falk all day every day in Columbo. Have the box sets and everything. Really sad. Full credit to the early writers of the series who really knew how to write, it's hard to imagine the series being as successful without him.

First post on an awesome site, be gentle. Love these write ups, first place I go after watching an episode.
