Network: FX Premiere Date: Jan. 21 FX has quickly become a refuge for some of the most interesting comedy on television, with shows that embrace a dark, sardonic sense of humor. Baskets is no different. This show has been in the works for several years, and it seems like it's finally about to actually see daylight. Baskets is about a man who becomes a rodeo clown after failing out of French clown school (his lack of French language skills sadly become a barrier to success), and is played by co-creator Zach Galifianakis. So you know it's in good hands. Honestly, just looking at the promotional art is enough to pique interest in this show. Do you want to hear what clinches it? Baskets is co-created by Louis C.K. Is there a possible way that this show won't end up being absolutely hilarious? Doubtful.
