    A great show! I use to watch it when I was young and I still watch it from time to time when I catch it at TV. It's a classic! There are some episodes that I've seen at last 6-7 times and I still enjoy them. Too bad that it has only 3 seasons, it was better if there were at least 6 seasons or more episodes per season. Louie's father is great! I always lought when he appears. Louie is great too. I loved the episode where he tries to learn the tuba, and almost passes out when he's doing it, I also love Go Packers! and Raindrops Keep Falling on My Bed.moreless

    I love this show.
    This is a best show I have ever seen.
    I watch all 38 episodes at least one time in a year.
    And every time I laugh more and more.
    I can watch it with friends, family and even alone.
    The show was a part of fox kids 1990s I like to get up and watch it.The show was a bount a boy named Louie Anderson and watch his life and what he do with it.
    It was really a good show to watch during the prime years of cartoons in the 1990s. Its a show I will say that kids should been watching grown up they would have enjoyed it.
    I would still watch this show if it comeback becaues it is a classic show.moreless

    This show was completely awesome. I loved it when I was a kid. It was something that I watched religously after Bobby's World. It was one of the best cartoons when I was younger. I loved the episode where he tries to learn the tuba, and is having the hardest time and practically passes out when he's doing it. I don't know, this show was awesome, I don't even know what else to say. It was something that would teach a child, and give them humor for the thirty minutes that it was one. It was the best show there ever was in the 90s.moreless

    This is a perfect show!Well,actually I can't say SO PERFECT,but it's not agressive.Yep,it's not.I like Louie and Ora and Tommy too,but Andy is somehow annoying.I also hate Glen Glenn,but,hey,like any carton is without bad guys,right?Ora is my favourite character,she is so good and she always takes a good care of her children.
