Comedian Louie C.K. is my hero. He has taken the entertainment business, that says you need to follow these rules and has said that ‘s nice but I want to do it this way…and he is getting away with it. Why? His work is art. He takes his sitcom out of the normal paradigm and doesn’t settle for trite. The first episode has a great scene with Charles Grodin that makes the audience wait along with Louie for him to finish his lunch before he can be engaged in conversation. (It was great to see Grodin again.) The second episode features Jerry Seinfeld and Yvonne Stahovski (who also premieres the sam night in Fox’s 24) and just to land a joke about how the rich keep getting richer off the poor. This episode really is what Louie is all about. He puts his own work out there without the rich middle men taking their 99% of the show. I wonder how much longer it will be before Louie is one of them?

24:Live Another Day Episode 1
Jack Bauer is back and he’s wanted. He rescues Cloe from the US Government in London while the the President is there as well meeting with the Prime Minister about the use of drones. A drone pilot is accused of killing 2 American troops and 2 British troops, Jack knows who is the real culprit and will do whatever it takes to bring them to justice and save the President, who is also the father of the woman he loves. This is why I love this show. Years of action put into 24 hours, well 12 in this season’s case. My wife calls this the ulcer show, because it never lets you stop worrying about Jack. I call it exciting and fun.
