OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I've come to the realization that this is the best show on TV.  It's dark, it's funny, it's just plain awesome.

There are really only four shows I watch regularly (on DVR).

Louis, Always Sunny..., Community, and The Office.

Louis and Always Sunny are far and away the best stuff on TV that I've seen.  I suppose I should get into Breaking Bad, which seems to be the same dark genre, but probably not as funny.

No so funny this year, but still really good.

This might be the wrongest you've ever been about television.

He's just offended that anyone would any redeeming quality in a woman he deems to be overweight. So there's no humor in this for him.

You think this season is funnier than past seasons? Yeah. The waiter reading the letter was hilarious.  You were just off camera in the Naked Gun when Drebin and Jane walked out of the theater cracking up, right?

I think saying prior seasons were funnier is not that off.... but, it's been really good this year. The dude makes a great show.

"Louie" has at least been grandfathered in (as an Emmy comedy show) from the days when it was more overtly a comedy, not to mention that half-hour shows inevitably wind up here regardless of their humor quotient. This latest season has been another terrific one, with Louis C.K. getting much more serious about long-form storytelling, including the six-part "Elevator" and this week's moving 90-minute episode "In the Woods." Comedy? No. Great television? Yes. - Alan Sepinwall

There are a multitude of "Louie" articles popping up online this week, most of them apparently iterating what Chuck (and Sepinwall) has written here. But damned if I can read any of them because I'm five episodes behind. I'm going to rectify that and come back in here and start some shit. You hear that, strawman? I'm coming for you.
