So happy this is back. There's nothing like this show.

I had a huge smile on my face after watching these two back to back. There's something about TV Louie's total resignation and acceptance of all the poo poo that piles up on him that's weirdly uplifting.

Does anyone feel sorry for Louie? There are a few scenes, like the car-crushing, the garbagemen, and Liz's death which imply that the world is out to get him (which I don't like, and was one of the things about S3 I wasn't into), but normally he's a pretty active participant in his issues. I don't think the show's meant to imply that his issues are outside of his control (especially his weight), because where it actually matters to him, like with his kids, he's very competent.

It's not so much that the world is out to get him, it's more Louie's acceptance of it that's interesting to me.
