- Business Insider: Here's Why Louis CK's Kids Are White But Their Mother Is Black In 'Louie' (interview with the casting director)

Cool thanks

 

[Makai]

I just finished watching the third season. I dunno how it gets me to laugh at people crying.

 

[Lamel]

Just caught up with season 4. I really liked it. In the woods man...

Into the Woods was some of the best tv I've seen this year.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah Into the Woods was probably my favourite thing the show has ever done. Spectacular.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

OK, sorry for the stupid bump but I just realized Ellen Burstyn played Evanka.

She did such a good job, I honestly thought they got some Hungarian actress to do it. Wow.

FX, meanwhile, also announced that season five of Louie will bow on Thursday, April 9 at 10:30 p.m., after the series debut of Billy Crystal starrer The Comedians at 10 p.m..

.

EDIT: They also note that S5 will consist of 8 episodes.

Hey Cornballer thanks for all the updates. I subscribe to threads for virtually all my TV news now and you create 99% of them. The 1% you don't create, you're still usually the last poster.

Only 8 Ah well, can't wait either way.

 

[Anteater]

can't wait, one of the shows I like that only get better instead of the opposite.

 

[lazybones18]

That Comedians show better not be shit since it's airing before Louie

 

[The Boohbah Zone]

Still bummed that it's a short season but I'll take what I can get. At least it's not another year off!

 

[Blader]

That Comedians show better not be shit since it's airing before Louie

I was interested in it right up until I read it co-stars Josh Gad...how that guy keeps getting work is beyond me.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Caught up with this show a couple months ago. The way Louie blends genuine emotion, absurdity, social commentary and awkward humor really reflects on how I perceive the nitty-gritty of life. We all struggle to understand, relate, and generally just get by with whatever situations we've been handed, and we sometimes just can't truly explain how or why things happened to us or what they might mean in a larger context. Season 4 especially is an excellent example of this.

Can't wait for more.

- HitFlix: FX sets “Louie” premiere, orders Louis CK-produced pilot, acquires Louis CK comedy special

Of paramount importance, FX announced on Sunday (January 18) that "Louie" will return for its fifth season on Thursday, April 9. The eight-episode season will be preceded by the premiere of Billy Crystal and Josh Gad in "The Comedians."

Also this spring, FX has acquired the TV rights to Louis C.K.'s next comedy special, "Louis C.K. Live From the Comedy Store."

And if that's not enough, FX also announced on Sunday that it has ordered the comedy pilot "Better Things," from veteran "Louie" veteran Pamela Adlon.

"Better Things" will feature Adlon as Sam, an actress raising three girls by herself. Adlon will star and she'll also executive produce and co-write the pilot with, of course, Louis C.K. And Louis C.K. will also direct the pilot.

Louis C.K.'s production shingle Pig Newton is behind all of these ventures, as well as the upcoming Zach Galifianakis comedy "Baskets," set to premiere in 2016.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

I learned yesterday that Pamela Adlon is the voice of Bobby Hill on King of the Hill and it blew my mind.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Awesome thay she's getting her own show, I love her

Sucks that it's a shorter season, but I will take all I can get. Easily my favorite show on TV right now.

- ‘Louie’ Season 4 Streaming On FX Now Ahead Of Series’ April 9 Return

FX stressed that this is no April Fools gag. The network has made the entire fourth season of its Louis C.K. series Louie available for streaming via the FX Now app starting today through the premiere of Season 5 on April 9. Last season featured the episode “So Did The Fat Lady,” for which Louis C.K. earned a WGA Award and his second writing Emmy. Check out the long final scene — a memorable two-hander with Sarah Baker, who earned a Critics’ Choice nom for the role — to understand why. Season 4 of Louie also snagged the WGA trophy for Episodic Comedy and scored its second consecutive Emmy nom for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Last call - is anyone up for doing the S5 OT?

 

[firehawk12]

I'm still sad they gave up on releasing the show on BD.

 

[Mr.Swag]

Season 4 was so good. Loved the six or seven parter.

 

[mattp]

I HAD NO IDEA SEASON 5 WAS EVEN COMING OUT

THIS IS GREAT NEWS

 

[Jarrod38]

Started watching season 4 again thanks to FXNow and damn Charles Grodin is just brilliant as the doctor.

I totally forgot this was back so soon, honestly might take a couple weeks to rewatch Season 4 and hop into Season 5 a bit late.
