HBO axes "Lucky Louie"

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - 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."

I heard this show was funny, never got to see it though. DVD is my pathway to all things HBO and Showtime... speaking of Showtime, Weeds is hilarious.

That sucks, I loved the first season! I loved Carnivale too, and Sopranos is gearing up to finish for good. I still love Entourage though. And Curb your Enthusiasm whenever that gets back on. I love me HBO shows.
