I think that's a great call.

That was my thought too. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that though. He and Creed are the two people you can count on to say something funny pretty much every time they talk, I'm not sure if increasing his role would help the show out of it's rut or put it out of its misery.

yeah...instead of the boss being the wacky guy, it'll be a straight guy (in comedic terms people)...then i guess the wacky office characters will bounce off him...

My guess is Ryan. Especially since he's one of the writers of the show.

About 2/3 through Louie on Netflix streaming, and it's tremendous. Just the right blend of filthy, funny, and poignant. Reminds me of some of the better indie films of the 90s.

The first episode isn't a great introduction. It plays a lot more forced and awkward than the rest. After that, episode 2 has a great discussion of the word "[expletive]" and much further along - episode 9, about the bully in the diner, is the high point of the show so far.

The scene in the diner is great. You'd usually expect the main character to bash the bully's head against the table and then beat the crap out of his friends. What happens is in retrospect much more interesting and real. Then the scene with the bully's father later on is just perfect./Spoiler]
