The single-camera comedy is a mix of Louis C.K.'s stand-up comedy and scripted short films.Download Video Wilfred (US) Resentment Episode On ABC Family Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video. Online Watch Wilfred (US) Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.Louie is a comedy filtered through the observational humor of Louis C.K. Each episode puts a spotlight on Louis' hectic life as a successful stand-up comedian and newly single father raising his two daughters.'Louie' is the first show I've come across that I absolutely refuse to let myself wait for DVD to see. It's the first show that I don't sit down to watch with the sole anticipation of having it either cheer me up with comedy or shock me with dramatic twists. 'Louie' is simply something I watch because it feels like I'm gaining life experience from it, which is impressive considering Louis C.K., or at least the Louie character's self-proclaimed life goals are to raise his kids and hold his title as World's Best Masturbator.
It's also impressive considering that I, and I'm sure many viewers, have already experienced nearly every situation this show covers, from being forced out of the house with no plans to being on a date with someone who thinks less of you for doing the right thing despite saying that he/she valued righteousness. So what's to gain from reliving these unpleasant situations every Tuesday evening?
Great shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm bank on this question by allowing the main character to vengefully act on his everyday irritations only to have it bite him in the ass by the episode's end. This way you can laugh at the absurdity while saying, "I know what he's feeling, man," followed by, "but I'm sure glad *I* didn't act on it.
" It's a winning formula because the audience always comes out unscathed. 'Louie' makes that show look like it's playing too safe (which it isn't, by the way.)
If the Louie character ever acts on his irritations, he does it in a way that almost feels like he's seen Curb, and thus trying to avoid any unnecessary harm while still following his gut instinct. In other words, he's a coward sometimes, just like we are.
Curb's Larry David states in interviews that his eponymous character is more like him than he is. Louie is simply Louis, and perhaps, Louis is simply everybody, and PERHAPS that can be a little discomforting.
But that's okay, because at least, just like when we look back on mistakes or simply situations that we wish we could have handled differently (so that we could've gotten laid that night), it's almost always hilarious. The difference here is that it's *always* hilarious. . . though it's still unbelievably discomforting.
Midway through the third episode of the new season of "Louie" — which was and continues to be one of the very best shows on television — Louis C.K. is introduced to a Spanish phrase that, loosely translated, means, "Say you don't know, and then you learn everything." As hard as it is to apply any motto to a show as idiosyncratic and unpredictable as "Louie," that's a pretty good one.
Though each episode of the series is in some significant way different than the one before it, they're all connected by C.K. — who writes, directs and stars in every installment, with almost no creative input from FX — and his personality and worldview. And though it's easy to define that personality as one driven by self-loathing, there's always much more to "Louie" than the story of a middle-aged bald guy who isn't his own biggest fan. There's a level of inquisitiveness to C.K., and to the show, that ties right in with his awareness of how little he actually knows.
In one way or another, you can look at every episode of the series and see in its genesis that C.K. — whether the real man, his fictionalized counterpart, or both — acknowledged he didn't know something and set out to learn. C.K. had tried unsuccessfully to do sitcoms before; what would happen if he was given total creative control in exchange for a smaller budget? How would C.K. react if he went on a USO mission to Afghanistan? Would it be possible to turn his real-life feud with Dane Cook into material for the TV show?
C.K. is a man curious about this world, and about the entertainment business where he makes his living, and that curiosity is palpable throughout the show's third season, which premieres tomorrow night at 10:30.
