A first for HBO, Lucky Louie was filmed before a live studio audience, in a multiple-camera setup. HBO ordered 12 episodes of the series which aired during the 2006 summer season. In addition, eight scripts for... a second season were ordered. In September 2006, however, HBO announced that the show had been canceled.
