All About Louis C.K.’s Many Hilarious TV Shows

Lucky Louie is Created

Louis C.K. created, wrote, starred in and executive produced his first show, which aired on HBO for one season in 2006. C.K. played the main character, a part-time mechanic at a muffler shop.

Lucky Louie was the first HBO show filmed before a live studio audience, with a multiple-camera setup. Similar to the famous show Roseanne, Lucky Louie deals with the daily life of a blue collar, working family, and touched on some serious subjects such as racism and intimate relationships. The show had many guest comedians and used foul language. Only 12 episodes aired before the show was canceled, due to low viewership.
