75"Lucky Louie" is a true original -- a pleasantly twisted variation on "The Honeymooners" or "Roseanne" for the 21st Century.
-
60It feels as if you've happened across a British sitcom or a rerun of "MADtv."
-
38It's like a David Mamet parody of Roseanne. [19 Jun 2006, p.37]
-
38Like "Roseanne," it can mine poverty for working-class laughs. It isn't executing that well, yet.

DevonH4This show is clearly geared towards half-witted teens, much like its forebear, Married With Children. Not much to like here.
