FX continues to be awesome in every way, as they’ve greenlit two new original comedy series, “The League” (detailed here) and, more notably, “Louie” starring Louis CK.  CK previously starred in “Lucky Louie” on HBO, which was canceled after one year.

“Louie” is based on the star’s life and will blend standup material with what Landgraf described as “extended vignettes” depicting moments from his offstage experiences. Louis CK is exec producer, writer and helmer of the series… “Louie” will most likely preem [Really? "Premiere" was too much to spell out?] early next year. [Variety]

You’ll pardon me if I happen to be squealing with delight about this excellent, excellent news.  Louis CK is one of the funniest humans on the entire planet, and the only reason he isn’t a gigantic star is because most Americans think Jay Leno is funny.  If you don’t like Louis CK’s comedy, it’s because you’re an idiot with lousy taste and what are you doing even reading a blog anyway, grandpa?
