HBO cancels Louis C.K. comedy
Tue Sep 19, 3:39 PM ET
HBO has opted not to renew its racy blue-collar family comedy "Lucky Louie" for a second season. The show was created by and starred comedian Louis C.K.
The cancellation marks the end of HBO's experiment with the traditional multicamera sitcom format, at least for now.
HBO has thrived in the past with such single-camera comedies as "Sex and the City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Entourage."
Multicamera shows are shot like a stage play with cameras trained on a handful of standing sets; single-camera shows have less of a sitcom feel, requiring different locations as well as different camera angles for each scene.
HBO recently greenlighted two single-camera projects, the partially improvised series "Flight of the Conchords" and the female ensemble pilot "Whitney."
