Maybe it's supposed to be that way though (this show I mean).

The school bus skit thing was funny, although there was some "wait...is this a comedy?" moments. The date thing was horrible from start to finish with a few sprinklings of humor "PIIIIIIIIIIG!" littered throughout.

And they pull the "Seinfeld" thing with putting standup routines throughout? Maybe that was done before Seinfeld, but still...

Gonna watch the second one, just because it's there...hopefully it's better. Otherwise I doubt I'll watch anymore.

This may just be another in a long line of funny people who are so horrible unfunny in TV shows.

EDIT: Watching Episode 2.

The intro was fantastic! Actually better than anything in the first episode.

This episode was a lot better than the 1st one.

I found this article that sums up my thoughts...

I still loved both episodes. Louie is one of my favorite comedians and the guy just has me rolling most of the time. Say what you will about Jesus but leave Louie alone!
