I think this might just be the best thing I've ever seen on television. At first, I thought Louis C.K.'s comment that this is the best show right now was a self-promoting lie. I was willing to forgive him, because so many artists do have to self-promote, and some get carried away. Some are still under the creative bliss that they were in while creating, and that bliss carries over when they are asked how good the work is. They can't know. They only know how true they were, or how true they wish they were.

Then. I thought: "Okay, maybe he's being honest and funny at the same time. Because he knows the show is just okay, but there's nothing really much else to compete with in this season.

And finally, during this episode, I realized that this was unbelievably good. Like OMYGOD good. Like "am I really watching this?" good.

As a man, it kind of checks you and makes you think. And as a woman, I'd suspect it is unnervingly different, but hopefully it makes you grateful for the refreshing honesty, and re- invigorates your desire for progress in all media. That was the goal, anyway. And that lofty goal alone deserves a heap of praise, because what other show invests so much ambition and meaning into a TV program? They are few and far between.

When Louis C.K. writes or direct something, he doesn't care about the three-act structure. The main character, the subplot. The target audience and all these bullshit and this is what it makes his stories so refreshing. Every time I watch something from him I'm thinking Finally, something new on TV, something different.

I have a confession. Over the course of the first season of this show, I became quite enchanted with this show. It's fresh, it's raw, it's real.

During this episode, I came to realize I was nursing a bit of a secret crush on Pamela Adlon. Her prickly ironic/sarcastic wit, her oddball charisma really drew me in.

9 minutes and 50 seconds into this episode, I knew I had this crush because that's the moment that the crush totally popped like an overstressed zit and vanished.

The cool thing is, this is the story of a life, and lives, and big-L Life. It's a rotten and beautiful thing, like life. Well done. Too bad the stars only go to 10. This show is an easy 11.

Absolutely incredible!!! The best episode of this series...if not all of similar type shows .. by far!!! The feeling and emotion behind it all is amazing! Thank you Louie & Pamela! Please keep it coming! Can't wait to see what's in store! You guys make viewers feel as if we are part of the family and are completely invested in what happens. Love the way everything doesn't need to be explained and we are left to figure pout the "gaps." This episode in particular is Amazing !!!

"...boooooooo!"

Ha! Killer.

I love this woman.

That is all.

Not sure why people thought this was a great episode but I thought she treated that date just terribly and instead they portrayed her as some kind of hero. The guy did nothing to her. I was done with the show after seeing that.
