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

The Creation of Louie

In 2010, Louis C.K. created the show that changed his life and became a hit: Louie. The show is a half-hour long, airs on FX, and features a stripped-down aesthetic and budget. FX gave Louis C.K. an unheard of amount of creative control, basically letting him do whatever he wanted to do unless the show bombed, which it didn’t.

The New Yorker wrote of the show, “For the first two seasons Louis C.K. wrote, directed, edited and starred in every episode and was also the music director. The result was a series that, despite its small audience, has had a broad influence, upending notions of what a sitcom can be.”
