By Michael Schneider--Variety -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/7/2009 12:16:40 PM

Tentatively titled "Louie," the half-hour is based on his life as a comedian and divorced father of two. Stories are told through a mix of standup routines and sketches (in which he acts opposite actors playing his kids, ex-wife and friends).
