Louie Goes On Extended Hiatus Until 2014

By Shaina Pearlman at 2:30 PM on October 9, 2012

If you thought the current Louie hiatus was hard, you might want to take a seat. FX announced today that it will give the multi-Emmy winner and role-player Louis C.K. a break from his series to allow him to relax, THR reports. “Louie has continued to raise the bar and recharge his batteries. I don’t think there’s anyone else in business who’s produced, starred, directed and edited all but seven episodes,” FX president and GM John Landgraf said in a conference call with reporters. “I’m not surprised he needs a bit of a break.” Louis C.K. requested the time off...  read more

Louie: "Late Show (Part 3)" (3.12)

By Sean Gandert at 5:11 PM on September 21, 2012

The conclusion to Louie‘s talk show arc was a masterful fulfilment of what both the small saga and the show are about, which is no small task. From the beginning, this has been about Louis gaining a sort of self-confidence about his own comedy and taking the next step. He knows that he can do stand-up, but the question for a while has been “then what?” By giving him this ultimate goal, we’ve seen a possibility of Louis discovering something new about himself, and that’s been exciting to watch. Yet Louie as a show is tinged with irony and disappointment....  read more

Louie: "Looking for Liz/Lilly Changes" (3.9)

By Sean Gandert at 2:37 PM on August 24, 2012

“Looking for Liz/Lilly Changes” was, as the title implies, such a bifurcated episode that it’s difficult to treat it as one entity, especially since one half was so significantly better than the other. What unites the two was their basic story, two searches that are, in different manners, complete busts. But these two halves, one ending with a sex joke and the other focused on Louis’ children, also do a good job approximating the two main halves of the show. Few episodes of the series have encapsulated what’s good and bad about the show as well as this one....  read more
