"I'm writing you now for two reasons," C.K. said in his email. "Reason one is to tell you that you can now buy the entire season of Horace and Pete with one payment of $31 dollars. The second reason is that I wanted to say it is a singular experience to have done this show and a very very sad thing to be done doing it." The rest of the 1,200 word email contains shout-outs to the actors involved, nods to the show's positive reviews, and more pleas for fans to pay up.

Vulture made a good case that C.K.'s debt troubles probably won't end up being a huge deal for the comedian, as long as he lets Horace and Pete get snatched by a network. Today's email also isn't the first time C.K. has overtly elbowed fans to give him money; in February, he balked at claims that the show's price of $5 per episode was too high, writing in an email that "the dirty unmovable fact is that this show is fucking expensive."
