Is anyone else noticing that the sound is fading in and out?

[7cent]

Is anyone else noticing that the sound is fading in and out?


nope, maybe its your TV

[WOWinWinston]

jerry could be the 2nd greatest character of all time....right behind our lil' jimmy of course.

[Teddy]

brings a hole new meaning to closet time

[Ballbuster1]

fuckin duck.......

[BigFeet]

Is anyone else noticing that the sound is fading in and out?
nope

[Clit Commander]

Its probably my signal yes. Actually it got better all of a sudden.

[Garm]

Did Jimmy write this?

[Ballbuster1]

Not bad so far.........

[IDidItAll]

Louie's TV wife is waaaaaay hot.

[7cent]

[ISUCK]

ah fucking jimmy

[7cent]

He got the hands perfect...

[Teddy]

to bad his roll is short in this episode

[Ballbuster1]

Norton's killing!

[Little Chuckie]

More laughs at Jimmy than the rest of the show so far.

[Teddy]

i missed a lot of these lines the first time arround

[Little Chuckie]

The beard almost gives him a chin.

[Rem700]

good shit... whats with the mister rogers sweater on my little b-cup though...

[OReillyFuxTardz]

it's pretty good.....If the critics can't see that this is a total spoof/parody on AWFUL family sitcoms, that's not our problem.............



Jimmy Does Destroy though!!!!! AMAZING!!!

[MilitantRabbit]

Classic

[WOWinWinston]

omg....this is great.

and his eyes are so psycho. he looks like he's out of his mind.

[Clit Commander]

The wide eyed thing is funny.

[Teddy]

bye bye jimmy

[barjockey]

Jimmy is using his hands well

[BigFeet]

not half bad so far.

[RMM46]

Nice cardigan, Jimmy! :clap:

[OReillyFuxTardz]

bye bye jimmy

word

[Little Chuckie]

Dick jokes are funny

[LSULacey]

Ugh I have that HBO prop bed in their bedroom

[Teddy]

his wife is too good looking for him

[OReillyFuxTardz]

i think it drills what cunts women are

[Budyzir]

Jimmy ROCKS !!! For all his self depreciating humor, he is freaking great.

[click]

Anyone that thinks they're not using a laugh track is delusional. It's ok, all the great sitcoms were filmed in front of a live audience and used them. Who the fuck cares anyway.

[ORGAZMOE]

Jimmy is right. He's an awful actor.

[Ballbuster1]

Anyone that thinks they're not using a laugh track is delusional. It's ok, all the great sitcoms were filmed in front of a live audience and used them. Who the fuck cares anyway.
Definately a laugh track being used.

[Teddy]

dude their is no laugh track if my jimmy says so i believe him

no homo

[RMM46]

Oh yeah...of course it's a laugh track. It's a parody of a sitcom. They're doing it for effect.

Now if only they can get the sound right and quit having it fade in and out.

[J D]

Anyone that thinks they're not using a laugh track is delusional. It's ok, all the great sitcoms were filmed in front of a live audience and used them. Who the fuck cares anyway.

Jim said it himself that it's not a laugh track; why would he lie about that?

[fozzie]

she is cute

[Teddy]

Oh yeah...of course it's a laugh track. It's a parody of a sitcom. They're doing it for effect.

Now if only they can get the sound right and quit having it fade in and out.

thats your tv provider or your tv not hbo

[OReillyFuxTardz]

I'm gonna drop a batch to this guy's wife tonight before i go to ole' beddy-bye

[IDidItAll]

They gotta get Louie on the show.

[WOWinWinston]

other than the fact she has no ass, she is fairly attractive. she just need to do something with her hair.

[medium_rare]

that line is so great in context

[Teddy]

you pussy is a chamber of finichal ruin

[Rem700]

dude their is no laugh track if my jimmy says so i believe him

no homo
anyone who admits sucking child cock isnt lying about a laugh track

[MJMANDALAY]

Did Jimmy do some writing on this?

[Ballbuster1]

"your pussy is a chamber of financial ruin" :clap:

[MilitantRabbit]

Christ, Pam Adlon's a fucking 15-year old.

[Teddy]

anyone who admits sucking child cock isnt lying about a laugh track

lmao

[OReillyFuxTardz]

"that's how life goes. you fuck, you have kids, you eat." :clap:

[BigFeet]

Did Jimmy do some writing on this?
I'm sure he has input

[Little Chuckie]

The wife is on the hot side

[click]

Oh yeah...of course it's a laugh track. It's a parody of a sitcom. They're doing it for effect.

Now if only they can get the sound right and quit having it fade in and out.
Did I miss something? This really doesn't come off as a spoof if that was intended.

[OReillyFuxTardz]

The wife is on the hot side


as is the daughter

[freak8]

hbo should have had a show like this in the 80's

[chrislehr]

They said its filmed in front of a live audience.

[WOWinWinston]

hbo should have had a show like this in the 80's


haha....very funny.

"and that's when i said, 'my daughter needs to know some black people.'"

[Niwot's Curse]

jimmy was easily the best part of the pilot....great job sweetie.:clap: :action-sm

[Little Chuckie]

Hey! the cook from a different world was the teller.

[freak8]

she reminds me of sarah silverman

[Hillbilly Crank]

Dirty Freckled Cock....Jesus that's funny....

[Teddy]

her tits arent big enough for fucking

[Hillbilly Crank]

I'm gonna fuck your tits off!!! Holy Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigFeet]

Not bad. especially for a pilot.

[RMM46]

Eh. Not bad. Not great. But what 1st episodes are? Jimmy was good. It'll get another couple of chances.


(Though I can see why it didn't get great reviews.)

[WOWinWinston]

it was pretty funny. it'll get stronger, but it's pretty good right now, most def.

[Hillbilly Crank]

Yeah, for a pilot....I enjoyed it though.

[Little Chuckie]

ummmm.... based on the first show, I'd watch it again but only because of Jimmy and the show. If I never heard of O&A and Jimmy before this, I might not go out of my way to see another.

[phishman3579]

I don't know if this will be looked down upon around here (feel free to remove the post) but does anyone have a torrent of the show (Lucky Louie and/or Tourgasm)?

[Abysmul]

dude their is no laugh track if my jimmy says so i believe him

no homo


i don't get it

why would you say no homo?

[frankjg]

Wow, the show was really funny.. Jimmy killed of course..

[prozac]

I loved it...have not laughed at a comedy show like that for a long time. I'm hooked.

[Sprite]

Dammit, I hope we get more Jimmy in the next episode.

And fuckin A that wife is sexy as hell, I wanna do her. :icon_wink

[freak8]

the show should have ended with the black guy

showing up to no BBQ :)

[Hillbilly Crank]

Well, now that that's over, I can get back to my "Sisterhood of Traveling Pants" marathon....

[nimsu]

Jerry Minor (the black guy) was good.

[7cent]

I thought it was great...I'm into it.

[WOWinWinston]

oh, sweet. WOLFMOTHER is the theme to tourgasm.


"Robert Kelly. THE INSTIGATOR."

[FartHammer]

Bravo James BRAVO!!! :clap:

[Teddy]

I don't know if this will be looked down upon around here (feel free to remove the post) but does anyone have a torrent of the show (Lucky Louie and/or Tourgasm)?
eztvefnet + google

[del griffith]

great first show. keep em coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IDidItAll]

Jeez, first Norton, now Bob Kelly.

What's next, Twitchels and Big A on Taxi Cab Confessions??

[Exanimate]

It wasn't to bad. Kind of rough around the edges, but I think that it will get better as it goes on. My wife really liked it as well.

[chrislehr]

Clearly a lot of character development is needed. I am guessing first two episodes give that feel and by the third we are in a solid pattern.

[medium_rare]

i wonder what tourgasm episode has the "I broke my fucking knee man!"

[WOWinWinston]

why is bob kelly like totally thug? wtf? ass clown.

[Ballbuster1]

I think it has potential. Jimmy was really good in it.

[sweetteach]

I was not particularly impressed with this episode. If it wasn't for Jimmy I wouldn't watch it again. The acting was forced and the set was so cheesy it was annoying.

[Teddy]

it was a piolt piolts alawys suck

give it 4 or 5 eppisodes

[phishman3579]

Sweet, never seen that site before.

[uptown]

Not my kind of show, but good luck Jimmy.

[nimsu]

ummmm.... based on the first show, I'd watch it again but only because of Jimmy and the show. If I never heard of O&A and Jimmy before this, I might not go out of my way to see another.


agreed... I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, plus it is only the pilot... but I don't think the reviews they read on the air on thurs/fri were that far off

[Rem700]

i expect many laughs to come out of lucky louis

now for bob kelly to bomb

[Spadanko]

I thought it was great. well done Jimmy!! Louis and Walter interaction is awesome. especially for a pilot it was real good

[danny666]

hbo should have had a show like this in the 80's

I recall Showtime had a show like this in the 80's starring Bill Maher call 'Hard Knocks'. It was pretty funny, only six or so episodes aired. It was taped in front of a live audience and the standard three camera shoot. Showtime had a few sitcoms in the 80s.

I wonder if this was the same pilot taped a few months before it was picked up by HBO. If that's the case then maybe they used a laugh track. But I believe Jimmy if he says they don't use one. I'll check out the next episodes to see if that's true or not.

I never laughed that much at the first episode of Cheer, Seinfeld(aka the Seinfeld Chronicles), Friends, etc, just had some mild chuckles.. The first episode of the British version of the Office was histerical. But again the first episode of any sitcom is just something to get through and introduce the characters. There were some decent laughs on LL. I say it was definitely an above average pilot. Sometimes shows peak at the pilot episode, so I'll invest at least four or five more episodes before I decide if this is a decent sitcom or not.

[wackbagette]

I'll be honest, I would have panned it if it weren't for our sweetie pie (BUFiness kicks in automatically). However, I think it'll get better once everyone settles into their characters and relaxes a little more in front of the audience. Tonight was a shakedown cruise...it'll find its rhythm in time and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

[DeltaPin]

Holy shit that sucked. Everything seemed so forced. I'll give it a pass since it was the pilot, hopefully it will get better.

Jimmy was only in it for a minute. More Jimmy = better.

[Ballbuster1]

Got work in the AM............good night.

[joefrombklyn]

it was ok... i thought jimmy would have more parts and that louie c k guy is just ok.. i would watch again just cause of jimmy but other wise... nah imo

Why is everyone doubting it a live audience? Jimmy said it was live and the 'voice' at the beginning of the credits said it was taped in front of a live audience

[Oh my goodness]

Worst acting ever!

[Teddy]

our jimmy does not lie

[7cent]

Worst acting ever!


really, anything specifically or is that just a general statement about all of the characters..

[Big Zilch 7]

Was somewhat funny. I laffed a few times and Jimmy was good as expected.

[Abysmul]

Holy shit that sucked. Everything seemed so forced. I'll give it a pass since it was the pilot, hopefully it will get better.

Jimmy was only in it for a minute. More Jimmy = better.
Yea, without a doubt. The only laugh I had was Jimmy's line about his freckled cock. I will stick with it, though, I'm sure it'll get better

[Oh my goodness]

really, anything specifically or is that just a general statement about all of the characters..

all the characters were stiff to me..jim was ok at best

[Niwot's Curse]

I hate to say it but I don't see this show making it past 4 episodes...

[Absolutely]

Man, I would fuck the tits off Louie's wife as well.

[fothermucker]

wow a lot of people seemed to dislike it, I guess there aren't a lot of married with children fans here. It reminded me a lot of that show but with more freedom. I really liked it, 4 stars.

[brancle1177]

That was just the pilot, had a few laughs, but I'm sure it will get better. They talked about it Friday, the first Seinfeld was terrible. Give it some time.

I'm not saying it wasn't filmed before a live audience. Who the fuck laughs on cue like that?

[TheBattleVirus]

Some things I liked about the show, others I didn't. When you look back at the successful sitcoms, the pilot episodes are always garbage, but I thought this had some good shit.

I thought CK and the woman who plays Kim were both funny. Other than Norton of course, I thought Jerry Minor (black guy) and Mike Hagerty (the fat friend) were great also. I'm glad we'll see more of Norton as the show goes on. I thought the woman who plays Kim's friend was pretty annoying though. It's original, clever, and has the potential to be incredibly funny. Glad Norton's a part of it. I'll be watching next week.

[Oh my goodness]

thats what they say about the radio show also..."give it time"

[DanaReevesLungs]

As a pilot it was mediocre at best. I'll give it another episode or two, but if it doesn't get better quick, I'm not wasting anymore time with it.

[Niwot's Curse]

that opening bit with the daughter was painfully bad. I started yelling "SHUT THE FUCK UP" at the TV.

I love Married w/ Children, but CK is no Al Bundy.

[Absolutely]

I'm not saying it wasn't filmed before a live audience. Who the fuck laughs on cue like that?

There's something to the fact that they're there as an audience that i think makes them laugh at the right spots. People are conditioned from the laugh track on every garbage sitcom on tv to know when to laugh.

[nevernamed]

fucking garbage. i seriously hope we dont have to listen to them build this shit up and media bash over the truthful reviews, they have smashed shit 100x better than this on the show.

[nneptune]

Louie's TV wife is waaaaaay hot.

That's an understatement! I'd do her in a second! yum yum yum!

[brancle1177]

you pussy is a chamber of finichal ruin


Best line not delivered by Jimmy, and all to true!!

B

[Absolutely]

fucking garbage. i seriously hope we dont have to listen to them build this shit up and media bash over the truthful reviews, they have smashed shit 100x better than this on the show.
Do you think Than will pull certain lines from the show, a la the Julia Louis Dreyfuss show. ?

[7cent]

wow a lot of people seemed to dislike it, I guess there aren't a lot of married with children fans here. It reminded me a lot of that show but with more freedom. I really liked it, 4 stars.


I agree, it's a sitcom and the actors acted like sitcom actors..I didn't think I would like the 1st episode as much as I did, because I heard a lot about it and I was expecting to have already heard most of the punchlines via a third party.. (anthony's review) but I laughed out loud a lot..I wish I had more..

[Niwot's Curse]

fucking garbage. i seriously hope we dont have to listen to them build this shit up and media bash over the truthful reviews, they have smashed shit 100x better than this on the show.


totally agree. but I guarantee tomorrow it will be Lucky Louie ball washing day. That whole show except Jimmy deserves 50 car crashes, 78 Kelsey Grammar falls, and 46 crickets

[Abysmul]

fucking garbage. i seriously hope we dont have to listen to them build this shit up and media bash over the truthful reviews, they have smashed shit 100x better than this on the show.
you know we will

[slcragu]

Jimmy was great, he came off very funny and relaxed. My girlfriend who doesn't know him thought he was the funniest part of the show. I hope the show gets more interesting and creative and less predictible as time goes on, even if it does bomb I'm sure Jimmy will end up doing something very funny in the future.

[aleo0110]

I give 3 out of 4 stars. JIMMY!!! was great! The part was written with him in mind. I can't wait to see the next episodes. You can see the chemistry of the actors on the show is great and will only get better!! Looks like a HIT!!!

[Niwot's Curse]

[danny666]

This isn't network TV. HBO doesn't go by ratings. All twelve episodes will air whether you like it or not. The big question is will there be more episodes ordered.

I think this was a decent first episode and I watched the first episodes of lot of classic sitcoms before they became popular. And I'd say Lucky Louie is above average, first episode wise. But the question is now that Louie CK has used all of his act in the pilot how funny will the next episodes be.

I like the show, but even if I didn't I'd listen to Jimmy's advice and reserve judgement on the show until the next few episodes.

[Absolutely]

I can't seem to find any photo's of Lucy the wife, Kelly Gould.

[PALLY]

Well Jimmy was funny!!

He does look a little bit like someone that would come to the dateline house and have some cookies!!!

I will watch a few more to see if it picks up, and hope it does. Otherwise, if its 12 eps of that, man, I dunno. At least it was only a half hour.

[Sinn Fein]

I liked it. I think it has alot of potential. I found it funny at several points.

[click]

Barely watchable imho. great effort by lil jimmy though.

[Budyzir]

I liked it. I think it has alot of potential. I found it funny at several points.


I agree. I had several great gut laughs. Give it a chance to develop, it has great potential.

Think about some of the shows you love and then try to find the pilot or the first couple of episodes. Most of them are unrecognizable today. The best shows grow, if they are given the chance. I think this show can blow up, give it the chance.


Jimmy got acting chops!

[DanaReevesLungs]

I don't think O&A have anything to worry that Jimmy will be leaving their show to become big in Hollywood from the looks of Lucky Louie. This can't be compared to other sitcoms on Network television. It's like comparing XM to FM. You expect a better product because you're paying for it. And to say give it time. Fuck that. I don't have the time to give it time. Sopranos and Deadwood were instant hits. This show didn't come close. The acting's too forced and the jokes just aren't that great.

[FartHammer]

I am very surprised at so many people not liking this show on this board! I thought it was very good!! Tourgasm was funny as hell too. Who is that fagget comedian with the blonde hair?

[Death Metal Moe]

All this will do is get them to scream at us tomorrow morning for not being supportive of the show, you realize that right? Like we did something wrong giving honest opinions.

[7cent]

scooter racing is gay..and I of yet, don't get why Dane Cook is so popular..

[Teddy]

i thought i was the olny 1 who wasent a big fan of dane

[Absolutely]

scooter racing is gay..and I of yet, don't get why Dane Cook is so popular..

I don't get it either, I just don't think he's that funny.
I did enjoy seeing Wigger Bob Kelly

[LifeHacker]

I understand it was a pilot, but the acting was horrible. If jimmy wasn't on the show I wouldn't watch it again. Jimmy lines weren't that funny. The funniest lines were the "the black one was half off" and the "your pussy is financial ruin." Other than that the show pretty much sucked and was unfunny. Whoever the chick is that plays the wife is an awful actress and should go back to waiting tables. I will give it a couple episodes and see if it gets better, especially since this was a pilot. I just hope O&A give an honest opinion and don't drink the kool aid just because Jimmy is on the show. That would not be "honest" radio.

By the way, I watched Tourgasim. What do people think Dane Cook is funny?

[Death Metal Moe]

i thought i was the olny 1 who wasent a big fan of dane

Make that 3 of us. Dane Cook is fucking boring. Jumping around screaming like a fucking asshole isn't funny.

[Absolutely]

All the non Dane fans come out of hiding

[FartHammer]

I think Dane Cook is hilarious.

[CookieMonster]

I don't know if anyone mentioned this but did anyone get a gander at those bowling pin calves our Lil' Jimmy's got. LOL But seriously I thought the show was pretty funny being a Louis C.K. fan and all. Looking forward to next week's episode.

I love YOU Jimmy-Cakes.

[DanaReevesLungs]

I of yet, don't get why Dane Cook is so popular..


Quoted for truth. I bought his CD "Retaliation" out of per hype. I've since given it away. I wouldn't charge anyone for that massacre at comdey.

[Teddy]

Make that 3 of us. Dane Cook is fucking boring. Jumping around screaming like a fucking asshole isn't funny.

finaly every 1 i told that thought i was insane

[askewcore]

Make that 3 of us. Dane Cook is fucking boring. Jumping around screaming like a fucking asshole isn't funny.

I'm in that boat too. Oh look, he's making fun of a speak and spell...thats funny...:icon_roll

I thought Lucky Louie was good, not great, but I had some good laughs at it. Thats more than I can say for pretty much anything else on TV besides Entourage.

Sopranos and Deadwood were instant hits. This show didn't come close. The acting's too forced and the jokes just aren't that great.

Deadwood wasnt an instant hit at all. It got smashed for half of the first season and only started to get big at all after Wild Bill got killed, like four or five episodes in. And did you really expect good acting from a bunch of first time actor comedians? The only guy in the show who's done any real acting is Mike Hagerty, and he was funny as hell in it.

[LifeHacker]

All this will do is get them to scream at us tomorrow morning for not being supportive of the show, you realize that right? Like we did something wrong giving honest opinions.


Best post on this board in a long time!!!!

I bet we hear something like, "people don't get it man. it's a pilot. give it time it will get better."

you areadly herd it i said it others have said it

[daemoncel]

hmmm. i liked it, had some good laughs, Jimmy was funny as shit. I've got it to record all the first run episodes on my DVR now.

I don't understand why you guys get mad that they slam wackbag all the time. IT'S A FANSITE! Sure you get to give an honest opinion, but jesus christ, expect them to give you their honest opinion as well. All i see on this site is bashing, hating, negative comments. That doesn't sound like a fan site to me.

[Squid]

I thought the show was alright, it got funnier as it went on. I'll keep watching it, it seems like a show that will keep getting funnier. I honestly think it's got lots of potential. And for the record, Bob Kelly was hilarious on Tourgasm.

[DanaReevesLungs]

All we're always asked to do from the show is give everything time. Some things just can't get better with time. I want to see how "honest" they're going to be with us now.

[LifeHacker]

you areadly herd it i said it others have said it

It will be sad if and when we hear that by O&A because they aren't being honest then. The show was just as bad as any of those Than has brought in and mocked.

[Death Metal Moe]

Hey leave LifeHacker's compiment to me alone!

But seriously, I'm not saying anthing about the show. I don't have HBO. But all this will do is get them to scream at us for not supporting and how we're not a "fan site" and all that fucking bullshit. I'm tired of it.

A lot of people gave their honest criticism of the show but it will just be characterized as "Us not supporting" and bitching about everything.

[WonkaVision]

Something wicked this way comes.....

"What happens when shit crust crush together? Shit-Quake" -Trailer Park Boys

Lil' Jimmy isn't gonna like these reviews, lucky for everyone he is too busy jacking to Trannys on Pal talk to read this board.

[Polack]

I thought lucky louie was pretty funny. not Louie, I heard all his lines in his act. Jimmy was funny, the other guy was pretty good, The wife is good.

[DeltaPin]

Make that 3 of us. Dane Cook is fucking boring. Jumping around screaming like a fucking asshole isn't funny.

4, just don't get it.

You're a dumb ass aren't you? We support the show, for the most part. That doesn't mean we support every other adventure they partake in.

People bitch because if there is any complaint about the show (or something related toit) it looks like we are just complaining to be dicks. Their bitching about wackbag also makes them sound like were not entitled to have an opinion. It's bullshit. A messageboard is for discussion about certain topics. God forbid there be negative posts.

[LifeHacker]

4, just don't get it.

Ok since I "don't get it" Explain it to me.

[Death Metal Moe]

but isn't this a Fan site? a site that supports the show?

It's an open forum where people discuss good and bad things on the show.

From what I've read everyone left a detailed criticism of the show if they didnt like it, not just dropped a "IT SUCKS!" and ran.

Also, just about everyone has said they're willing to watch just for Jimmy and are willing to give it time to develop. That's pretty fucking fair if you ask me.

[WonkaVision]

Can someone start a Poll to rate Lucky Louie? I don't thionk I am permitted...

[LifeHacker]

but isn't this a Fan site? a site that supports the show?

Does that mean we have to drink the O&A Kool Aid? If I wanted that then I would listen to Stern.

[daemoncel]

well, it doesn't seem like this site supports the show all the times either.

No i'm not a dumbass, i'm an OA Fan, if i'm going to bitch about the show i'll go somewhere else. I wonder how many other "Fan Sites" bitch about whom they support?

thats all the ever asked for not to just bitch leave critisim and give it a chance unlike some people on this forum

[DeltaPin]

Dane Cook = not funny

[askewcore]

Ok since I "don't get it" Explain it to me.

He meant he was another guy who "just doesnt get Dane Cook's popularity". A little defensive are we?

I wonder how many other "Fan Sites" bitch about whom they support?

Every one on the internet? Criticism is natural. Just because we are O&A fans doesnt mean *we all* have to blindly support everything involved with the show and not give honest opinions.

Mind you, I enjoyed LL, I just think people should be able to express their opinions. Like Moe said, everyone gace specifics for what they disliked about the show, not just mindless, "that sucked"

[Death Metal Moe]

Dane Cook = not funny

Pretty much says it all. You can't explain why something's not funny to you most times, you just don't laugh. I don't laugh at Dane Cook. But what the fuck do I know, the guy's huge.

[WonkaVision]

No i'm not a dumbass, i'm an OA Fan, if i'm going to bitch about the show i'll go somewhere else. I wonder how many other "Fan Sites" bitch about whom they support?

Where are you going to go to Bitch? Every Fan sight includes criticisms....

[FartHammer]

How can some say that the show won't be honest if they give a good review when there is a majority of people here that like the show. Makes no sense.

[patbattlefield]

Pretty much says it all. You can't explain why something's not funny to you most times, you just don't laugh. I don't laugh at Dane Cook. But what the fuck do I know, the guy's huge.
wow i am watching tourgasm and there is so much gay it's ridiculous...two men cuddling in bed...i wouldn't even do that for the camera.

[LifeHacker]

Sorry about that. I don't think Dane Cook is funny either. So he's right I don't get it.

[askewcore]

That must be you in your sig.

[FartHammer]

Yeah must be.

[DJBigFatCock]

Id have an opinion but my friend you see made these brownies with this stuff in em and ummm Im goin go get a fudgeicle and try to ponder the show.

[joem1211]

my 2 cents and its only one mans stupid opinion. If I was not a loyal and long time Jimmy/O&A fan than I might not give this show a second chance. Isn't the premise of the pilot to put your best foot forward to get a project greenlighted? Thats not a rhetorical question, I'm asking if that is a fact. If it is than this show was not very good. If a pilot is just to get the ball rolling than the show may have potential. I just felt that hte acting was forced. The scene in the supermarket with laura slapping the roast was cringy and full on car crash. That horseshit was done in a clean version a million times. The interaction of jimmy/mike/and Louie was good and would like to see more of that...men sitting around discussing things.
I remember the wife from Facts of life ..I think she played Jo polnichecks cousin or little sister.
Again I'll give it time and hope it gets better, but as for the pilot ......I've seen smoother acting on Robot Chicken

Hopefully my mind will change after ep 2.
Also if Jimmy was not on it would you really watch the first ep and say Wow Brilliant stuff?

[qaylin]

i liked it. i thought it was a good change up. hagerty and norton were the comedic highs of the show. it was good.. i'll watch the season. i can't say much for louis c.k. but this will more than likely open quite a few more doors for norton. and thats never a bad thing.

[whoisisthis]

I kept watching mainly because I found the wife perky and erotic


the show itself was just ok. I'm pulling for it to succeed, though

[badcellphoneguy]

I was not particularly impressed with this episode. If it wasn't for Jimmy I wouldn't watch it again. The acting was forced and the set was so cheesy it was annoying.

:clap: i absolutly agree:clap:

jimmy i love you sweetheart but the show right now is unwatchable. the laugh track stinks. the set looks like something that a 3rd grader designed. the set looks like something out of the jefferson's or 70's retro. I was waiting for Florida from Good Times to yell out JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMES jimmy's lines were great. i will continue to watch and hope the characters develop. As of right now is god awfull.

on a side note that fat guy with the moustache make sure his legs are together. it looks like his yam bag is like taffy or click clack balls.

[FartHammer]

Holy SHIT. How do you guys not get that there was NO LAUGHTRACK??? It is maddening.

[FartHammer]

Maybe the disclaimer right at the beginning explaining the show was shot in front of a live studio audience is throwing people off.....

[Flush.Buy.Fuck]

Do you think Ant or Op really like the show? I could see someone like Patrice or Vos telling him it stinks, especially after a while.

[FartHammer]

You people are unbelievable!!! It was a good first show!!!! I did think it was funny and will only get better, as James is in the show more. I can't believe some of you are already writing it off!

[Death Metal Moe]

What the fuck do you care what everyone else thinks? Deal with it.

[badcellphoneguy]

you dont have a second chance to make a first impression. the first impresssion was horrible! if this show was on the big 4 networks this would never get a second airing. the acting was forced. the set was cheesy. the kid was annoying. Jimmy is going to be the only reason i would watch the show.

[RnFBig Jim]

I watched it. My friend was over and didnt know who Jim Norton was--said he was the creepiest character he has ever seen on a TV show. Then I said, You ever heard of opie and anthony? Thats the comedian from the show. Then he remembered.

Jimmy did look creepy and his acting I am sure will get better.

However, overall, there were some funny lines but the acting was atrocious.

Looked to me like it was shot on mini dv video tape similar to spike lee's bamboozled.

If the acting does not improve over the next several weeks this show will crash and burn rather quickly.

My roommate thought it sucked terribly.

Lewis Black was hysterical though.

With this ridiculous logic if the show ends up meeting "your" humor ratings later you will still not like it because you didn't like the first show?

With all the cheesy crap sketch comedies on tv today you honestly think this would be pulled after one show? Sorry the set doesn't meet your standards.... Who gives a fuck about the set and I am thinking the set is intentionally simple.

Way to be miss the point guy, not a perfect analogy but it still works.

[danny666]

There is not enough data to determine if it is a good or bad show yet. I thought the pilot was pretty good, but that still doesn't mean it's a good show.
Name your favorite sitcoms and we'll talk about what the pilot was and I bet it would be considered a weak episode.

I'm sure after twelve episodes we will be sick of the series because HBO will be reairing them over and over. Even if I wasn't an O and A fan I'd still watch LL and think it was an okay episode and look forward to more. Because it's the summer and there is nothing new on TV. I'm all for a new sitcom from a comedian I think is very funny. (Louie CK)

[FartHammer]

your right the set is intentionally simple. but its looks too cheesy. it looked like the xm budget for the ad campaign for o and a.
WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE SET???? I can't believe it would even be an issue...

[badcellphoneguy]

ok be honest here...who would have passed over the show if our Lil' Jimmy Norden wasn't on the show. take jimmy out. would you have wasted the 30 minutes on the show.

[BIV]

wow a lot of people seemed to dislike it, I guess there aren't a lot of married with children fans here. It reminded me a lot of that show but with more freedom. I really liked it, 4 stars.

That's not promising, Married with Children was fucking terrible.

Holy SHIT. How do you guys not get that there was NO LAUGHTRACK??? It is maddening.

Most shows filmed live have laugh track dubbed onto the crowd laughter.

[SmokeyMcPot]

Lucky Louie is not bad. simple & stright to the point comedy.

[RnFBig Jim]

"What does Lewis Black have to do with anything, as he wasn't on Lucky Louie..."


I was watching the new lewis black comedy special before Lucky Louie and laughed my ass off the entire hour. Thats all.

To Farthammer, acting is crucial to draw the audience in. If the first thing they notice is bad acting, really bad acting, forced lines, laughter at not funny moments, the audience will slip away rather fast. I will give this show a chance only cuz jimmy is on it. But I am just giving my opinion and congrats to Jimmy for his sitcom debut.

[FartHammer]

Way to be miss the point guy, not a perfect analogy but it still works.
Way to be miss the sarcasm guy and make a stupid analogy in the first place guy.

It does not work. Even if DLR sucked from day one they had to give him a shot to turn it around.

[badcellphoneguy]

i will continue to watch it but I have to agree with the critics to far. I hope i eat my words. I am just being honest.

Humorous lines and good deliveries are what will draw audiences in to this type of show. If this was a drama acting would be more important.

Using that logic, cheers, seinfeld, three's company and a bunch of others would never have aired after the pilot episode.

Very true. Although I did think the first episode of Three's company was hilarious when it first aired. I was seven. But the end of the episode joke confused my brother and I. It was 'We told him your were gay.' And only my dad laughed. And I just didn't understand what was so funny about that. He had to use a bunch of synonyms for gay before I got the punchline. I think 'FAGGOT' was the one that let me get the joke.

Cheers was another show I watched when it first came out. The only reason I was into it was because Taxi moved to NBC and aired before Cheers. That was not a decent episode, and the whole first season was pretty weak and no one watched it. But I saw the potential and was glad it was renewed.

I also watch Seinfeld's first episode and the show was called "The Seinfeld Chronicles". Again it was weak but I was a fan of Senfeld and his appearance on ESPN's Roy Firestone's show that I continued to watch. I think there was huge hiatus between the first and second seasons.

I rarely watch sitcoms now, but you have to take the first episode with a grain of salt. It will take a few episodes to see if the show if funny or not. Again I thought the first episode was better than average for a pilot.

But I'll say something in favor for the people who hate LL and are cheering for Jimmy to fail. The reviewers show three episodes. But reviewers also hate O and A and are they right? Also the reviewers saw the first four episodes of the Sopranos and thougtht it was going to be the best season ever. You never can tell. HBO is going to wait 12 episodes to decide its fate, and I'll do the same.

[Flush.Buy.Fuck]

I hope what should be a great night for Norton isn't ruined by him reading people pick apart something he has worked very hard on and is proud of, especially after one show. I am personally embarrassed!

Most people posting including myself who did not like the show still thought Jimmy was good.

[doomwarfare]

Already sang my praises in the other LL thread, though I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next. Would not have watched it, if not for Jimmy; though now that I have seen it, it works with him as much as because of him. The only real cringe for me was the supermarket scene. There was no saving her beating the meat. Truly one of those moments where I felt embarrassed, as if it was my fault in some way.

Surprised at how much of a throttling LL is taking here. Maybe the radio show being as strongly opinionated as it is makes some wonder how much of a spanking LL would receive without the Jimmy factor? Though it does have Jimmy, so good for us and especially good for Jimmy and LL.

Some of the criticism certainly seems objective, which is healthy and welcome to rational discussion, though some is questionable when an excellent thread with generous photos capturing Jimmy Day gets temporarily derailed by folks contemplating the state of Op's midsection.

I am sold on LL. Congrats to Jimmy and everyone else involved.

[Manton]

Throwing in my two cents like it matters....

I really enjoyed the show tonight on its own. Someone above asked if I would "waste" 30 minutes on this show without Jimmy, and of course I would. Love the concept, love the fact that it's so incredibly stripped down and raw. The shitty set, different film stock, and the language all work to give you a picture of what it's like away from an NBC or ABC sitcom. Cannot wait to see this thing improve and hit its stride, cause man is it going to be great.

Hey, Rick Derringer... that backhanded compliment was duley noted.

Sure, I'll agree with you that tonight's episode of "Lucky Louie" wasn't 'all it was hyped up to be' but please.. give the show a chance.. watch a few more episodes.. its only going to get better from here.

[nimsu]

well, it doesn't seem like this site supports the show all the times either.

No i'm not a dumbass, i'm an OA Fan, if i'm going to bitch about the show i'll go somewhere else. I wonder how many other "Fan Sites" bitch about whom they support?



This is one area where I totally disagree with O&A. This is a fan site, but it isn't a kiss-ass fan site. I think of it like I do the Mets.. I love the Mets. I'm a fan of the Mets. I read/watch all about them. But I will also critize them for making dumb player moves (dumping Kazmir), knowing they will hit into a double play, etc...

O&A do seem to think their fans should have the 'drink the Kool Aid' mentality. There have been some times where I disagree or even dislike things they do (e.g. treat Stalker Patti...sometimes). Does that mean I'm not a fan? Of course not. I've listened to every second of every XM show, many of the WNEW shows and even remember hearing Gonna Electric Shock OJ live.

Holy SHIT. How do you guys not get that there was NO LAUGHTRACK??? It is maddening.

Maybe they should consider using one. The show is fucking horrible. Like most people here, I watched it because of Jimmy. I enjoyed his lines and seeing him in the show, but other than that it was unwatchable.

No one wants to admit it sucked because of Jimmy, but let's be realistic, the show was/is awful. It's like not wanting to admit the school play sucks because your daughter's in it.

[too4flynchen]

The way some of the hardcore ONA fans are praising this stinker of a pilot reminds me of when hoo-hoo produced that god awful Son of a Beach debacle a few years back. Lets not fall into the same category of zombie like behaviour. If deep down you think it sucked whether jimmy is in it or not, be honest to yourself and say so!

[KOP]

"Lucky Louie" = rancid piece of shit

[richwithhatred]

First episodes of almost every show always stink...second episode usually does as well. First episode especially does, because 1/2 of the dialog is set up to explain the cast. Start judging after week 3. They have already set up for some really funny shit on this show - especially the always bad, awkward interaction between louis and the black family...that's gonna be priceless.

Relax folks...no one said this was going to be "All In The Family" or "Mash" midway through their runs from the start. You are all some seriously impatient fucks.

[ZeoVGM]

You are all some seriously impatient fucks.

Welcome to Wackbag, where everything is judged before it should be!

The episode wasn't bad people, chill the fuck out. It wasn't great, but it was the FIRST EPISODE. And I think Jimmy is the funniest character, and I say that without bias.

Please remember that his part is expanded over the 12 episode run, meaning it can only get better if you think he's the best part about it.

Just chill out.

[suckmyseed]

I am kinda mad...I haven't seen it yet.

[TheDrip]

I disagree with all the people saying that the show was unwatchable. Sure it had some slow moments, but there were a few funny-as-hell moments that had me rolling. Maybe because my mind was a little altered at the time, but all in all I liked it.

I think that as the cast becomes more comfortable the show will mesh together much better. Once they 'loosen up' a little.

I'd liken it to the fact that the first half a seaon of a show like Seinfeld stunk too. None of the cast was comfortable so they didn't riff off each other well. Then as it went on the, show just began to flow together. Now I'm not trying to say that this show is going to be a Seinfeld hit, but just using the fact that even a wildly successful show like that pretty much sucked goats in its first few episodes.

As for Lucky Louie, it definitly made me laugh, and I'll be watching it again next week.

Please tell me what those moments were because I saw nothing that got more than a chuckle out of me.

I'm going to try again tonight. I DVR'd it and watched it after I watched a great Deadwood. Maybe my mind wasn't sufficiently cleansed from Deadwood, because LL was pretty unwatchable for me. I laughed once, when Jimmy told the guy to meet him in the bathroom, because I thought he was meeting him for gay sex. When I realized it was because of a drug deal, it stopped being funny.

Overall, the acting and directing reminded me of that season of "Roc," with Charles S. Dutton, that they performed live. It was just uncomfortable to watch. That sentiment pretty much sums it up for me... Lucky Louis was uncomfortable to watch.

I'll try again tonight when I watch Tourgasm. I hope I get something else out of it.

Luv Norton, Luv O & A, Hated Lucky Louie. It was like Mad TV with some cursing.
