Louis C.K., who will have a recurring role on Parks and Recreation in the show’s upcoming season, has reason to celebrate this week.
FX, home to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, picked up his half-hour laffer, Louie. The series’ 13-episode first season will air in 2010.
With the pickup — along with another comedy called The League — FX is poised to have more original scripted comedy and drama series than any other basic cable channel.
FX Networks prexy John Landgraf tells Variety:
Our brand is about audaciousness and innovation, and those adjectives are equally applicable to drama and comedy series.
OK, hypothetically if you’re going on a mission to, say, catch a guilty whale. And while you were catching the whale, you saw something else that may also be another whale, and you were like, “What?” But then you thought, “Maybe it’s not a whale. Maybe it’s a big fish, maybe it’s a submarine with a face painted on it.” The point is if I kill the first whale, am I technically a murderer?

And, of course, any remaining balance will go towards prize contests and other fun stuff. Thanks!
