Behind the Scenes of "Lucky Louie"

A few weeks ago on the show, we interviewed Louis CK, the standup-comic and creator of the upcoming HBO series "Lucky Louie."

Some enterprising folks from ASpecialThing.com have tracked down this 12-minute "behind the scenes" short about the show. Louis talked a lot on The Sound about getting back to the roots of the sitcom -- you can see what he's talking about here.

I watched "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" last night, and he made an offhand comment about the contrast between the establishing shots of "The Cosby Show" and "Good Times." You can feel the influence of the 1970s studio-audience sitcom, the legacy of Norman Lear, in this short clip. I've got high hopes for Louie's show.
