Love that man!
I feel like this show needs at least one episode with Rick Shapiro. Did he and Louis have a falling out or something?
I hope they're cool, I love Rick, Louis really knows how to use him.
"I.....DID!!! I DID I DID I DID!!!"
I do think there's something to the blood running out of Liz's nose. It seems they're implying some kind of issue with her health there.
Doesn't sound like it from Rick's end. Rick and Maron talk about Louie on WTF from a couple of months back.Originally Posted by nickyp123
what was that?
this whole episode.
the bit with the doll and all the christmas presents was sublime. everything else was... what was happening?
so mystified i have foregone all capital letters.
Return the doll! Don't drill it's head! Oh shit voided the warranty.
So it was a doll in the box!

FX, Louis C.K. Delay 'Louie' Season 4 to Spring 2014
FX is delaying the return of critical darling Louie from summer 2013 to spring 2014.
The series will not return in the summer but instead return in May and allow the Emmy-winning star, writer, editor and director more time to bring back the vibe of the first season.
During a conference call with reporters Tuesday, FX president and John Landgraf announced that Louis C.K. requested and received an extended hiatus between the recently completed third season and the upcoming fourth frame.
"Louie has continued to raise the bar and recharge his batteries. I don't think there's anyone else in business who's produced, starred, directed and edited all but seven episodes … I'm not surprised he needs a bit of a break," Landgraf said.
The stand-up comic will continue on tour this year and will shift his focus to penning the upcoming season in the first-quarter of 2013.
"I want season four to go somewhere new … I'm looking back to when I did the first season and the time I took to do the show and decide which directions to go in and I want that back again," Louis C.K. told reporters. "I want a little breathing room."
In the meantime, the Emmy winner said his current 22-city tour would "probably" be turned into a stand-up special. The Louis C.K. bypassed the traditional approach to the tour and brought it directly to the people, bypassing ticket brokers and selling seats for a flat $45 fee. "That's the way I'm going to do it from now on," he said.
"The last three seasons have been a surge of fun stories and it's been great to share all the stuff and I want the show to keep getting better," Louis C.K. said. "I want it to keep being something that comes from somewhere fun and important."
The increased lead time will allow the FX funnyman to focus mostly on writing. "I usually start shooting in March for a June launch and we'll start September or October for a May launch," he said. "I used to shoot, promote and edit all at the same time in June and I think I can do better work if I spread things out."
FX renewed Louie for a fourth season in July. Louis C.K. took home the Emmy this year for writing in a comedy series for his work on the series. As for the show's lead-in once it does return, Landgraf noted Louie's two-season companion wouldn't be joining it.
"I have trust that we will find something amazing, but it won't be Wilfred," Landgraf said, touting the network's Jim Jeffries comedy Legit -- which is due in January.
There will be more Louie and Louis is taking as much time as he needs to make it great? This is good news.
I only see it as a good thing for both his standup and the show.
I like the idea of him taking more time to do his show right, but it'll probably just turn into him working on 2 or 3 other amazing projects during the extra few months he's saved.
You take your time, pumpkin.
Racist.
I'm a redhead too SO IT'S OK. You wouldn't understand, maaaaan.
If Louis decided to take five years off, but promised to deliver the same kind of season he did this year, I'd be totally on board. You don't rush a show like this.

Was anyone else really disappointed by the lack of Louis' commentary on the season 2 dvd? Only 5 episodes out the 13 had commentary and those 5 episodes didn't include Eddie or Duckling. How can he not do commentary for Duckling?! I would have listened to commentary for every episode. I want to hear the minute details about writing, his inspiration, what it was like filming it, the lenses used and other production aspects, etc. It matters to me. I don't even care that he does it from his apartment instead of a studio.
