4/6/16 Not Sure If Louie Was A Comedy?

    I just finished watching the fifth season of Louie, starring Louie CK, a red headed balding comedian.  I enjoyed the first season, but it got progressively sadder or more depressing.  I am not sure if he just wanted to keep it real, or if this is his idea of comedy.  He spent a long time exploring some things that did not make sense and others he shoe horned in, when he should've spent time exploring them.  In the 3rd or fourth season there was a six episode arc involving a Hungarian lady in his building he falls in love with.  It's fine, except she doesn't talk English, so the episodes are frustrating in that they can't really communicate.
    Another confusing part was why a comedy has to have multiple deaths and disfigurements.  Parker Posey comes out as a love interest, she is obviously nuts, but harmless, she is in and out for 2-3 episodes, then all of a sudden he randomly encounters her in a city bus, she starts convulsing, on New Year's Eve, and he goes with her to the hospital where she finds out she has a rare condition and dies before the next commercial break.  The last episode of season 5 has him sharing a condo with another comedian who is attempting to take a crap in the upper part of the toilet because Louie is vomiting in the toilet bowl, and the comedian falls and cracks his head and dies.  This after talking about having three kids and being a good father.  He routinely bangs women who feel sorry for him or who fall into his lap, "accidentally".  One of these is a super rich lady played by the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski (hot blond from Chuck), after they do it, she decides to tickle him for whatever reason he says stop and again "accidentally" throws his elbow back and breaks her nose, disfiguring her. 
    The best episodes are the ones with Pamela Adlon, she keeps him grounded in reality.  She never quite plays nice with him, as she constantly plays ballbuster, but she really seems to be into him, at least for awhile.  It makes no sense how people move in and out of his life so easily.
    The other big mystery is his girls, standard cute little white girls.  For the first two seasons we just hear the ex wife's voice on the phone, until she enters in the third season and suddenly she is just standing there like she was part of the crew from day one.  She is fine, except that she is black.  Why aren't the little girls at least a touch mixed?  He explains it away that her mom was white.  Even the character played by Pamela Adlon says "what is going on there?"  Those kids did not come out of that vagina, sorry Louie. 
    No questioning, Louie loves his girls, and that relationship is pretty good throughout the show, but some of the assholes who come out, I'm glad do not come out more than once.  The little fat kid some mom leaves with him and he takes a shit in the tub among other horrible things.  The niece who just walks off when the mom leaves, he is left chasing after her, very annoying.  The random girl that beats him up for no reason, the bully teenager who he follows to his house only to watch his dad beat the crap out of him.  His agent who appears to be 16, and owns only one expression.  Why doesn't he fire him and get a better one?
