@MJDB “Wilfred” is much more expensive than “Louie” because A) Elijah Wood, and B) it employs a full cast, crew, and writing staff; with “Louie,” Louis CK and his barebones crew of ~6 people do EVERYTHING on a shoestring budget and work for peanuts.

In season 1, Wilfred’s budget was somewhere around 700K per episode and Louie’s was 250K. Since then both have gone up. I believe Louie’s is now nearer to 500K. Don’t know what Wilfred’s is.
All I’m saying is they may not be as far apart as you think.
Thanks for clearing that up guys, I appreciate it. Sorry for thinking the wrong facts, I’m still hoping for Wilfred to get renewed.
Thanks to Nick for the Hollywood Heights ratings.
LOL@ Supernatural! The same 600 people watched it at 9 and at 10. That show is so very sad. I’ll bet they haven’t gained one new viewer in five years.
The fact that “Louie” numbers are so bad actually gives me hope.
“Louie” sucks. It is not funny. It is inconsistent. It stinks.
liking bad shows does not better than other people.
