Louie CK's new tv show is going to start here in about 10 minutes. Anyone else plan on watching it?

I am! Love Louis CK. His drunk tweets were hilarious a couple of weeks back.

Overall they weren't to bad. I am sure it will take a few episodes to get the wheels rolling. He is definitely going the Seinfeld route.

Its also pretty cool that he is having all these different comedians come help him out. I thought Nick Dipaolo was pretty hilarious during the poker scenes.

Yeah Louis is a real comic's comic. I'm not surprised he's getting a lot of help.

I was amused. It definitely needs some polish, but I think he could have a winner. Some background music to set the mood ala Curb Your Enthusiasm might be good. Some of the scenes just didn't "move" very well. Adapting standup for TV is always tough, though. Comedians try to paint a picture of a scene that isn't always all that funny to look at, so when you're looking at it, sometimes it needs some help.

I though the scene where the bus breaks down in Harlem and he starts moving kids on the bus was pretty funny, though.

I just started watching this at 10 and I'm already hooked.

I was sad when his last show was canceled.
