    Might give that show a chance.. as much buzz I hear about it, none of my close friends really gave it a shot.

    I started watching this show just because nothing else is on. I can't lie. It's funny. More impressively, his little stand-up bits that go along with the show are actually funny too. Seinfeld was a pretty funny show, but damn his stand-up was terrible. Everytime that show comes on and it shows him telling his joke, I'm there with the straight face like, damn, how is that funny?

    Watched the first 3 episodes of season 1 of Wilfred.. I'm not sure I laughed once. It was amusing.. but not funny one bit. Don't think ill watch the rest.

    Ha, so this whole time Louie's baby momma is a black woman.

    Best part was at the end when him and the other were discussing the signs.

    Yeah, I don't get that. His kids have no parts of black in them. ? doesn't make sense.

    Here's what Louie had to say about it (taken from a review)...

    More importantly, in the overall scheme of the show, we finally met Louie’s ex-wife, Janet, who I had assumed would just always stay off-camera. Yes, I had some confusion seeing African-American actress Susan Kelechi Watson (NCIS) in the role, given the fact that Louie’s daughters don’t look to be mixed race at all. But look, on this show, which, again, is not really tied to ongoing stories or tight continuity, I’ll just go with it. (C.K. himself said, of Watson’s casting, “I think that her performances are really compelling and I like what that character brings out in the stories and in me on the show. To me that trumped whatever... logistical notion” and that he did indeed figure, with his show, people would think, “Oh, all right, just go ahead.”)

    lol That's hilarious. Dude basically made a nonsensical addition to the show, and his explanation for it is "? it."

    I mean there is a lot of random ? that happens on the show, I guess his ex wife being black fits. ? they randomly crushed his infiniti in front of him with no explanation.

    Well, I guess it tied back to the confusion over the parking signs, but the car crush was the only downfall of the premiere to me. That was just, weird. The construction worker not knowing what they were doing there in the first place was funny, but why they would just crush his car repeatedly with no reaction seemed out of place even for Louie's universe. But it lead to the motorcycle so all was forgiven LOL.

    LOL @ double standards. It was ok for the woman to give him head, but if Louie did the same to her he would feel like a "? ". And on the flip side, it was ok for the woman to sexually assault Louie, but if he did the same to her he would be a ? . LOL.

    Louie had a bromance but is so socially awkward he didn't even know how to handle it.

    Turns out Louie was really raised in Mexico as a kid.
