Logging

TV: Entourage, Curb, Louie

Here is an article on Louie. Hat tip, Phil.

In addition to the article, I would add, I don't watch the episodes in any particular order nor feel the need to. In a way, this is also a reversion to a more traditional sitcom or episodic tv show. They were uniquely structured in that any particular episode could be a gateway into the show itself and the pleasure of watching was not significantly damaged by watching shows out of order. HBO and other serialized shows changed this trend, but Louie is reverting back to it. What Louie really changes, however, is that each episode is not really self contained. Sometimes it is. Sometimes there are two short films in there. Or unrelated tidbits and scenes followed by a full episode.
