Comedy TV: Season 4 Finale of ‘Louie’

"It simply wasn’t generating as much feeling as it used to. One of Louis C. K.’s gifts is the ability to skate dangerously close to sentimentality while using his comic instincts to stay on the side of poignancy and honest emotion. The show is both funnier and more touching when it’s less determined to be meaningful. In Season 4, Louie C. K. seemed to be more interested in debate or teaching lessons than in making us laugh."

"There has always been a risky tension in “Louie” between politically correct liberalism and the depiction, if not celebration, of the coarsest, most pathetic male notions about women and relationships. (The show’s tendency to portray men as passive schlubs and women as dangerous neurotics can be hard to overlook.) Louie is the locus of that tension, and in Season 4, Louis C. K. sometimes seemed to be at pains to make his protagonist look bad: pressuring women to have sex, hectoring them about their indifference to him, whining and crying. And punching that model."

They Always Go in Threes, right?

Sad news: One of television's original comic stars, Sid Caesar, has died. He was 91 and at home in Los Angeles, according to his friend and former collaborator, Carl Reiner, reports Reuters.

First, Shirley Temple; now, Sid. Who will be next?

Study: "Funnymen's personalities are similar to those with mental health conditions"

"Madcap antics may be part of a comedian’s on-stage persona."

But the madness may not be just an act, say researchers.

The ability to make people laugh comes from a personality of the kind displayed by those with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Historically, the creativity of painters and playwrights has been linked to madness, but now British experts have found a link with comedians.
