If you're not watching it, you need to be.


(I have DirecTV, but you know what I mean)

It's been great so far.

Louie Anderson is killing it as Mrs. Baskets.

It's downright shocking how believable he is as a woman.

I read that they actually had a female actor in mind to play that character; but when they couldn't get her, they turned to Anderson.
So it's not meant to be a joke character.

I watched the first episode and it didn't really grab me. Does it continue to just be depressing comedy?

If you didn't like the first episode, then you definitely won't like the others.

They're even more depressing and not as straightforwardly funny.

Episode 3 sucked. 1 and 2 were funny though.

Louie anderson is killing it in that show. Last nights episode was pretty good.

I can see where this show is not for everyone.

Definitely best new sitcom for sure. It's humor is very subtle and that may turn off fans of Zach's previous work whcih is much more slapstick.

And Louie is outstanding on there.

It's the only show I have laughed at in a long time.

I prefer funny comedies. I watched the first episode and smiled a few times; laughed once at the very end.

I loved seasons 1 and 2 of Louie, but most of seasons 3 and 4 were a struggle (I cannot fricking stand Pamela).

I like offbeat humor, but these shows are something else. Like the visual version of 'quiet is the new loud.'
