So much hype. This is going to be my show of the summer.

[Eggman]

Can anyone find a new Louie avatar for me?

[kingocfs]

I got an email from Louis today. My day is complete.

I just read it, pretty awesome of him to put this much effort into fucking over scalpers.

[rinker]

Just grabbed some tickets for his new tour! Glad I signed up for the newsletter!

[Nobility]

Can't wait, been waiting for the summer to arrive to see this!

[videotape]

Got tickets in DC... February 1, 2013. It'll be a long wait.

[purg3]

Anyone watching Louis on Jay Leno, dude is killing it. Dropping the motherfucker bomb. Look on Jay's face after he said it the second time was amazing.

[wenis]

All over my face. Then all over yours. Can't wait.

I still couldn't believe that short... I had no idea what to expect from the show going off of that

Can anyone find a new Louie avatar for me?

What kind were you thinking. What kind of Louis do you want?

[Mully]

Here you go Dr. Eggman.

[FootNinja]

Watching the first season now.. So bueno. Sooooo bueno.

[TheGuardian]

A nice interview with Louis:

What happened?

S2 was brilliant, can't wait

[Zulithe]

Patton put it best. Between this, Breaking Bad and TDKR, July is one hell of a great month this year.

Part 1 and Part 2

[Meier]

Can't wait! Sad that the Austin shows are so late in the year but super excited about getting to see him.

New season is going to be amazing.

:lol He always does that on Leno. I think he purposefully fucks with him since I doubt he really loves the guy or anything (him and Conan made fun/had a conversation about it iirc).

[Eggman]

Mully that's decent.

Any Louis CK avatar, wenis.

[bud]

watching the leno interview now. he looks like he put on some weight.

"i can't believe i'm looking at you all the time i'm looking at you." hahaha.

Most comedians don't have a problem with Leno, especially since most of the public don't even understand what happened between Leno/Conan. This coming from Jimmy Norton who is good friends with Louis and on his shows.

Leno/Louis are there to entertain and that is what they are doing.

[woodchuck]

WOOOO got my tickets to see him in Dallas October 20th

[metsallica]

I want to strangle people that don't watch this.

[Amir0x]

that ending shit last season was so great, I guess Pamela Adlon isn't back for this season though unless it's for a surprise or something. I really feel bad for Louie, because who hasn't been in a relationship that isn't requited, but I hope he moves on and shit, dude is stuck in place

[Mully]

Can anyone find a new Louie avatar for me?

Found a better one.

[Jitters]

Really looking forward to seeing what Jerry Seinfeld does.

[Zaphod]

Part 1 and Part 2

That was pretty good. I liked the shit talking banter going on but I wish Leno could have been a bit more clever than some cheap bald and fat jokes. I thought the donuts joke was kind of funny though.

Louis' Sandusky bit put Leno in a uncomfortable spot. It was pretty funny to see since Leno's job as sidekick to the guest was put in direct conflict with the unwholesomeness of laughing at a joke about a pedophile.

The mother fucker bit made me laugh too.

- From Grantland: Louis C.K. on the BS Report podcast

This time around, we discussed Season 3 of Louie (premiering Thursday on FX at 10:30), his ambitious strategy to bypass all the ticketing agencies for his 2012 comedy tour (check out www.louisck.com for details), the year of the Backlash to the Backlash to the Backlash, why he loves hate-watching Aaron Sorkin shows, why he was fine with Bradley stealing the last Pacquiao fight (and why it made him like Manny more), what lessons he's applied from boxing to help his own career, and a few other curve balls you might not expect. One important note: We didn't bleep any of the swear words this time around. Beware of a few stray F-bombs.

- The Atlantic: Louis C.K. vs. Charlie Sheen: The Best and Worst of TV, on the Same Network

By this point, FX doesn't really need to make an effort to sell Louie: It's an established critical hit, if not a vast generator of revenue for the network. But there's something particularly sad about seeing FX put so much energy into trying to sell the American viewing public a bland, ugly sitcom that would have been rejected by even its most milquetoast competitors, while Louis C.K. is making personally and artistically transformative television on a much lower budget, one time slot over.

- SF Chronicle: 'Anger Management,' 'Wilfred,' 'Louie' reviews

"Louie" is the gold standard of contemporary TV comedy, and Charlie Sheen should have nothing to be angry about being in its company on Thursday nights.

- The Daily Beast: Charlie Sheen’s ‘Anger Management’ & Louis C.K.’s ‘Louie’: Comedy Clash

- Newsday: Funny life for C.K. Louis

One of TV's better shows, comedy or drama, because this series often succeeds as both. (But beware, it's not for all viewers-- there's a lot of vulgarity here.) Grade: A

[Roland Deschain]

Holy shit didn't know it was starting again!

Ha ha:

[blame space]

that about sums it up

[big ander]

Anger Management does indeed look to run counter to everything FX is normally about with regards to original comedy series, but I'm feeling people are still stupidly obsessed with Sheen's antics enough to make the show a hit. And if that hit buoys the weird and wonderful other series at all, that's enough for me.

[Balehead]

He tweeted about being on O&A that he'll do it "probably sometime next week" or something like that. That should be good, you can find a lot of the episodes on youtube.

[red731]

How did I miss this - as a European. I knew that he was stand up guy, but never knew he head a show.
Oh I am laughing at first seasons episode.

Still TV's greatest comedy, with observational humor, a sad-sack life, a fearless look into the mundane -- FX's "Louie" is a thing of original beauty.

[Expendable.]

Louie just said his most favorite recent movie was A Separation on Twitter. Can he get any cooler?

Hah yeah I think he actually name-dropped the movie somewhere else a while ago too. Goes to show how great he is.

"in the season 3 premier, louie deals with a difficult day"

[Forceatowulf]

Can't. Wait.

[lazybones18]

Difficult day, eh?

I bet it will be. Can't wait

[Cornballer]

"in the season 3 premier, louie deals with a difficult day"

That's about as useful as a Mad Men logline. :P

[Cornballer]

Season premiere tonight!

Something is Wrong Louie has a difficult day.

[Cindres]

HYYYYYYYYYYYPE.

Cannot fucking wait :D

HE BETTER GET AN EMMY THIS SEASON.

[vehn]

[Cornballer]

can't wait!

Ah, I see. I assumed from his post that he made it.

[Mully]

In Bart Scott voice, "Can't wait!"
