Louie (FX, 10 p.m.) — I have very mixed feelings about this two-part episode (“Late Show”) because while it’s funny, it also features Jay Leno. After the Dane Cook episode, I actually felt a little shred of affection for Cook (it quickly went away, like a rash), and I don’t want to feel anything like that for Jay Leno. Why would Louis C.K. put us in this awkward position?
Children’s Hospital (Adult Swim, 11:59 p.m.) — Did you guys read about Ken Marino and Nick Kroll’s fake fight which resulted in Marino’s fake arrest and Kroll’s fake apology, and a bunch of real articles written about it, which provides real promotion to The League? Genius, isn’t it? I only mention it because everyone on The League and Children’s Hospital plays in the same sandbox. Actually, most of the good sketch comedians play in the Children’s Hospital sandbox, though I imagine they don’t earn more than $15 and a can of soda for each appearance.
Misfits (LOGO, 10 p.m.) — (Second Season Premiere) If there’s one British show that people have bugged me to watch more than any other, it’s Misfits, and I swear I’m going to. One day. But probably not now, because I don’t think I can find LOGO on my cable box.
Awkward (MTV, 10 p.m.) — Have you seen Awkward? It’s on my list of the 5 Best Shows You Probably Didn’t Watch Over the Summer. It’s great, and don’t let the fact that it’s on MTV convince you otherwise.
Glee (Fox, 9.p.m.) — Fourth season premiere. I have nothing to say about this show except that I don’t care about it from the very, very bottom of my heart.
LATE NIGHT LISTINGS: Dave Matthews is on Jimmy Kimmel tonight (where did that guy go?), Katey Sagal is on Ferguson, and Emma Watson is on Fallon. Everything else is in reruns.

All, or most, of the Misfits seasons have been available on Hulu for a long time.
Maybe Louis CK is doing this so that you can try and get rid of that judgmental cuntiness that made Pajiba unsufferable… Until you got there. That said, you’re funny and I like you and you smell real nice.
Because it will give Louis C.K. god mode for life if he manages to pull it off.
If they aren’t Misfits OF SCIENCE I’m not too interested.
I heard this is Part 2 OF THREE for Louie tonight. CRAZY
That’s correct.
You know, I recently watched Role Models and The 40-Year-Old Virgin for the first time, and a crap load of Party Down. And all the Jane Lynch exposure has me seriously considering that it might be worth giving Glee a look when it comes back on British TV.
I mean, how bad can it be?
I think this cracked article says it all, number 4 [www.cracked.com]
The only exposure my mother has to Jane Lynch is as “That nasty Sue on Glee” and then I just feel bad that my mom doesn’t understand what an actor is.
My first memory of Jane Lynch was in Best in Show. I refuse to watch Glee, but after being in college theatre, all I can say is that the people who watched Glee were the most insufferable people to be backstage with.
Misfits has tits.
There’s a fooseball game on tonight, too my friend.
I devoured the first two seasons of Misfits. And then some small changes happened and I stomped my feet and pouted. First two seasons however are CRAZY AWESOME.
I get the hate for Leno, he’s a douche. But he was a top class stand up in his day, and he came up when there wasn’t really any clubs to do stand up. He was doing strip clubs and trying to make a living, he was badass back then so Respect. I’m a Letterman man though, after he took that show and stole Conans, he’s nothing.
I don’t get the hatred for Dane Cook though, Louie explained it very well. You can not like the guy or not trust him, but people outright hate him and wouldn’t brake if they saw him crossing the street. You see him do something like Louie, and you hear him on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast and I gotta say he’s a better guy than people make him out to be.
I have heard Louie thank Leno several times for allowing him to appear on the Tonight Show. His “big break”, if you will. He will never say a bad thing about the guy.
