What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I did not know either one of those things!

I made it through the first season of Louie but haven't been compelled to keep going. I know everyone praises it to the high heavens, and it's definitely unlike anything else...ever, basically, but I rarely think, boy, I want to watch an episode of Louie. I still feel like I'd be making myself do it when I could instead watch an episode of Futurama, which I am still trekking through.

Futurama is good times.

I don't know if I would even recommend it to people, but I like Louie a whole lot. I also feel like I had to learn how to watch it over the course of the first season, but then I was really glad I had.

I definitely had to learn how to watch it because of its fuck-all approach to continuity, and there were definitely some bits I really liked. But I feel like it was a low percentage compared to what left me scratching my head or feeling unsatisfied.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I must track down the first season, but I find it (apart from much of the last 94 minutes) a very compelling and almost painfully human show.

I was expecting a comedy comedy, but there you go.

Yeah, painfully human is an excellent description.

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes that is really funny(I love his stand-up) but sometimes the show is more like "?!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm super over Louie, so I'm ready to finish out the season tonight.

I liked the finale. Didn't love this season like last season, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm slowly watching the past season of Parks and Rec, and I don't know how it will progress, but the idea of Andy performing at kids' parties is genius.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita,

the first season of Louie is probably the funniest of all the seasons. My favorite ep is the one where he takes a plane to Alabama (?). The whole episode is one big WTF that really entertains me. I've seen that ep like 8 times.
