Some tributes and remembrances of Robin Williams that I wanted to share.
- Robin's now poignant appearance on Louie
- Slightly NSFW bloopers from the first season of Mork & Mindy. Williams at his manic peak.
- Norm MacDonald's very personal tribute
- Ken Levine's thoughts on the passing of Williams
- David Simon's brief encounter and how Williams changed his life. It may not be a stretch to say without Williams' sacrifice in trying to help a friend's struggling show there may not have ever been The Wire
Chris Lynch's slanted view on sports, politics and entertainment. Please send thoughts or comments to chris.lynch@gmail.com

Louie
Big fan of the show Louie by Louis CK. The show is like a series of mini comedic art-house movies. The show has some recurring characters but linear progression of story-lines are completely optional. The problem with the show for most fans is the fact there are so few episodes. I have a potential solution to this problem.
Louis CK has tons of stand-up buddies. Don't you think he could get some of them to do their own half-hour comedic art-house movies which would be produced by Louis. Don't you think Steven Wright could have some interesting stories to tell in a manner true to the spirit of the show. You could even have some episodes where the guest comedian pretends to be Louis. Like having Steven Wright dye his hair red. Louis could have his six episodes per season and his buddies could do another six.
Just a suggestion.
