Enjoy this show while it lasts, because it’s too good to stay on television.

“I‘m sorry guys. I guess this show, to me, is like i turn on my brain each week and show some stuff that’s in it. Sometimes it’s real and sometimes it’s not. Some things and people I like to show again (for now) some I don’t. Some I want to change because I’m showing them for different reasons from show to show. I don’t have a writing staff. The network doesn’t read my scripts. I don’t “vette” the stories the way a traditional show does. This stuff comes right out of my gut. I work very hard on the show and the scripts are forged carefully. But I try to trust my impulses and never do anything because I think it’s neccicary, if it isn’t compelling. I’ve worked on a lot of shows where you find yourself writing and shooting things that you don’t want because you feel the show “needs” them. And NOT doing things you want because you think you can’t do them or it hurts the show. I refuse to do either of those things on this “series”.”

I recently started watching this show with Steve. This is by far the best comedy on television right now. We get a real inside look at Louie’s head. It’s not consistent because it shouldn’t be… our thoughts are never consistent. I think that’s what the show is about. It’s not afraid to explore the deep pain and insecurities that make comedians who they are (ie: The God episode). It’s those low valleys that make the laughter so much more of a payoff. I actually like that he doesn’t have a writing staff, it makes the storytelling so much more personal. I hope it stays around for a while.

Louis CK in the comments of Alan Sepinwall’s Louie review on HitFix.com

Unconfirmed whether it’s actually him, but I’m convinced.

It’s hands down my favorite new show on television.

I think the show is unique because it isn’t a slave to continuity and its only responsibility is to the moment and making it as funny or interesting as possible. I would hate for the tone or the methods to be changed because it doesn’t fit into the neat little box some viewers need to have created for them.

Louie is perfectly imperfect the way it is.
