Lucky Louie was HBO’s first attempt at a multi-camera sit-com. Created by Louis C.K., the show featured the story of Louie (Louis C.K.) a part-time mechanic, his wife, Kim (Pamela Adlon), a full-time nurse, and their four year-old daughter, Lucy (Kelly Gould). Similar to show like “All in the Family” and “Roseanne,” Lucky Louie features a working class family who are just shy of politically correct. Unlike contemporary sit-coms, the show was taped in front of a live-studio audience and employed no additional laugh track. Though it gained viewers with each of its twelve episodes, the show was cancelled after its initial run. Poor response from critics made HBO a little nervous. The channel was more concerned with maintaining its track record of critically acclaimed series than good ratings. One episode was produced that didn’t air, and an entire second season was outlined. The rest of the cast, though small, was an impressive collection of comedic actors. Featuring Laura Kightlinger, Jerry Minor, Rick Shapiro, and Jim Norton.MORE
