    I'm 76 years old (wife 66). We can't remember laughing as hard since the 3 stooges and Abbot and Costello. Was hoping to find out that it is going to be renewed only to be disappointed. Next they'll get rid of Maher and Entourage and we can get rid of the HBO extra subscription cost.

    It's Not even a show for "grownups" This humor is appealing to many teenagers and young adults. It's a show that I (at 20 years old) Watch with my boyfriend and find amazing! (Please bring it back HBO!!!)

    The show just has that raw dark humor laughing at a guy who life seems to be getting worse everyday. If you follow the series you will see that it show the qorkyness that is human flaws in life.. sort of like a Curb Y en. Its just doesn't seem to hold anything back. I laugh because it doesn't feel real, and it feels like you are watching a play or something.

    Not a show you can sit and watch with your wife and daughter, but if your watching with the boys, you'll be rolling with laughter.

    After a slow start it has been gaining all 12 cylinders and becoming what HBO intended, a show so different from the typical HBO fare that people are either horrified and appalled or are rolling in their seats Sunday after Sunday, Jim Norton is hitting his stride and the show in general is getting better and better, having the guts to show man junk out of the blue..well all I can say is After a slow start it has been gaining all 12 cylinders and becoming what HBO intended, a show so different from the typical HBO fare that people are either horrified and appalled or are rolling in their seats Sunday after Sunday, Jim Norton is hitting his stride and the show in general is getting better and better, having the guts to show man junk out of the blue..well all I can say is Lucky Louie party rock, donkey sausage, donkey sausage, donkey sausage....Lets hope HBO keeps this is around just to upset the middle America!!

    I thought it was great. Interactions with Walter were very funny, as were Louie's friends (esp. lil' Jimmy). "Difference between a black man and a refrigerator" line had me cracking up, hoo hoo!

    Good news: Hilarious, gritty, pulls no punches, this is what you get premium programming for - to get away from the whitewashed, anemic garbage on network TV. I was unsure whether to stay with it until I saw Jim Norton...then I was hooked. Bad news: the scene where she's bent over and pleading "well, tap it then." What is she, a dog? Also: Looks like it was shot with a bare-bones Good news: Hilarious, gritty, pulls no punches, this is what you get premium programming for - to get away from the whitewashed, anemic garbage on network TV.

Also: Looks like it was shot with a bare-bones budget at a college TV studio. Puts the show in stark contrast to the high production values you see on all other HBO series. Suggestion: Funnel large amounts of money into the show's production budget. Expand

    The show should be called 'Lucky Jimmy' because the breakout star is Jim Norton of the Opie and Anthony Po'gram! His one small scene as weed dealer Rich was the standout performance. I should add that the rest of the cast (who's names I forgot) were excellent also! I look forward to many seasons on HBO!!!!

    I imagine the writers of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," the best comedy in TV history until now, watching this with applause and slack-jawed amazement. Perfectly cast, briskly paced, each week an hilarious new theme. Episode #9 featuring Tina's disrespectful teenager did it for me. Bring on the DVD, I need to share this memorable gem with clueless friends.

    Lucky Louie is a great sitcom. Its a refreshing look at life in a more run of the mill way. NO big elaborate sets and no plots of crap that would never happen to the average person. I generally do not watch any show on a regular basis but Lucky Louie keeps me wanting to tune in week to week. I hope there will be a season 2! Keep up the good work Lucky Louie cast.

    The acting in this show sucks, so does the writing kinda often. But.. most of the time it's still very funny. And I just can't dislike something that makes me laugh.

    This show is hilarious on so many levels. I think the people who are criticizing it are just uptight A-holes who clearly have no sense of humor. I think the actors/actresses are fantastic.
