A lot of comics say they are close with their fans, but few actually display that connection as well as Louis C.

I don't know how I missed talk of IFC's new comedy, "Bullet in the Face," and I'm disappointed to learn about it only because the controversy surrounding the subject material has resulted in the show -- which is being described as the most violent comedy in television history -- being turned into a two-night event instead of a weekly one.

Whenever I see a trailer or a clip from an upcoming episode or season of "Game of Thrones," I end up feeling slightly bad for the smug book readers.
