But compared to Louis CK’s sitcom, says Hank Stuever, "Gaffigan’s world is much less artful, more straight-on and also culled from his real life: married, mid- to late 40s, father of five (yes, five) young children, eking out a living as a stand-up comedian who is known for keeping his act 'clean.’” PLUS: Gaffigan is a likable spin on a tired premise, and why Gaffigan gave up on network sitcoms.
