TV No More Louie Until... 2014?!?

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 1:37 PM

Louis C.K. announced yesterday that you won't be seeing any more seasons of Louie (on FX) until at least 2014. WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY??? From Variety:

"The last three seasons have been this surge of fun and work and stories and it's been great, but I want the show to keep getting better," C.K. said in a conference call with reporters today. "That's my goal, and I don't want it to be making the donuts, I want it to be something that comes from somewhere important and stays funny. It's a luxury I asked for ... season four is my job right now, but I'm going to take a whole lot of time to turn it in.

"I want season four to go somewhere new, even if it's only a slight shift."

Okay, but why am I feeling like he's gonna end up pulling a "Justin Timberlake*" and we'll never get another album (I mean, "TV show") from him again?

*Note to Justin Timberlake: MAKE A NEW GODDAMN ALBUM ALREADY!!

God forbid an artist wants to take a break to provide a better product by taking some time off.

Maybe a little less TV would be good for you?

@1

Clearly you're not familiar with Wm. Steven Humphrey's column...

Jesus, Cato, why is this of all things getting backlash?

God forbid fans of an artist are sad to see their favorite art-things go away for whatever reason. Maybe a little shut the hell up?

@3, and do I care about your thoughts? No I don't. And if you don't like it don't fee the trolls.

You sure do bitch about other people's thoughts a lot for someone who doesn't care.

Louie had twenty years of finely honed material to mine for the first three seasons and now he doesn't want to simply hack out some tripe in five months months to appease whiney fan boys for a fourth season.

I call that a refreshing dose of artistic integrity.
