The cable network announced on Tuesday (Feb. 16) that the comedy, previously scheduled for an April launch, will now roll out in June, using “Rescue Me” as a lead-in. [1]
Comedian Louis C.K. serves as executive producer, writer, director and star of the series. [...] “[The pairing] will create an hour and a half of the funniest and most ruthlessly honest comedy and drama about men ever seen on commercial television,” said John Landgraf. [4]
Louie is a comedy filtered through the observational humor of Louis C.K. Each episode puts a spotlight on Louis’ hectic life as a successful stand-up comedian and newly single father raising his two daughters. [5]
The network for bad boys (and the not-so-saintly women who often helped make them that way) kicks into high summer gear Tuesday night with the return of the blisteringly bitter Rescue Me (splitting its final season over two years, concluding in 2011 to coincide with the 10 anniversary of 9/11). [2]
“Louie,” originally set to premiere in April, will now roll out in June. [4]
We successfully used ‘Rescue Me’ as a lead-in for the majority of the first season of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.’ [1]
FX has ordered six episodes of “The League,” which is scheduled to premiere in November, and 13 episodes of “Louie” scheduled to debut in early 2010. [4]
“Louie” is a single-camera comedy mixing new Louis C.K. standup material with vignettes based on his life as a recently divorced single father. [1]
Premise: Comedian Louis C.K. plays himself, sort of, in a sitcom about a newly single stand-up comic raising his two daughters in New York City. [2]
“Even though it is a drama, Rescue Me has always been regarded as one of the funniest shows on television and it will provide an outstanding, compatible lead-in for Louie. [...] FX is the flagship general entertainment basic cable network from Fox. [5]
