Like "Roseanne," it can mine poverty for working-class laughs. It isn't executing that well, yet.
-
It's like a David Mamet parody of Roseanne. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
-
It doesn't work, largely because there's not enough wit from creator and star Louis C.K. to make the vulgarity anything more than an exercise in blue.
-
There's certainly comedy to be found in these basic situations, but not in "Lucky Louie's" confounding approach or stilted presentation.
-
It's one of HBO's more fascinating series -- but not because it's good, or funny.
-
This is comedian Louis C.K.'s attempt to lampoon the classic half-hour sitcom, if by lampoon you mean drown it in toxic failure.
-
A show so vile, it makes you think the company's arrogant It's Not TV -- It's HBO slogan isn't a brag -- it's a threat.
