as for Lucky Louie, HBO picked it up for a 2nd season and promptly canceled it. I fucking loved that show so much. Louis's new special, Chewed Up, will actually be aired on Showtime for some reason. I have hope that Showtime will pick up Lucky Louie if it's even possible. I don't know what kind of rights would have to be purchased from HBO, though.
Louis CK and Pam Adlon (his wife on Lucky Louie) actually have a new sitcom (or something) being picked up by ABC, CBS, one of those stupid cable channels that won't let filthy language and sex through.
