I know some of y'all haven't been liking this season but I think it's top notch. All the episodes have shown how uncomfortable that pissed off ginger is in his own skin. It's been a hoot to watch.

I watched the first season on Netflix and once they got to that gay poker game episode that was enough for me to quit watching permanently.

I like the show, and I love his standup.. but the laughs are way too far between for it to be the "funniest show on tv"

It's my fav current show.

I like how it blends "lol funny" moments with misery/sadness

How can you not like that scene? Seriously, I don't get it. It was one of the highlights of the show for me.

Same here. I love the show but its not meant to be a "funniest show on tv" type of thing.

Last nights was great. When he called the ex to stay a few more days, Louie got exactly the reaction he wanted to get out of me which was "damn Louie... that's fricking gay.."

I liked last season a lot but to me this season has been meh. It's never been one of my favorites but I still watch it.

No, its not the funniest show on TV but I appreciate the honesty. CK is a self hating white man and, to his credit, he doesn't try to cover that aspect of his character up.

Sadly, it needs more slapstick, more non-topical one liners and a laugh track for your the average American to find it funny.

The scene in the pickup truck from the episide before last was the funniest thing I have seen on TV in months.

your lose.


it's better than Sunny in Philly & The League imo. But, it's also for people with a different kind of humor.

I'd sandwich it in the middle of always sunny.

the first few seasons were great, then louie, then the last few seasons of philly.

None of it compares to Archer though.

Sometimes I don't even see how it passes as a comedy. Last night's episode is pretty consistent with every episode I've watched. The first 3 minutes or so up until he was rescued was funny, the rest of the episode was just uncomfortable.

Even if he's not dealing with homosexuality, the show just goes off into wtf land too often.
