    One of the best animated series. This is a true story about a kid's special childhood. He is an average boy only 9 years old. He lives with his family in the USA Wisconsin. His family standing from 13 persons. The supporting characters are outstanding and very funny in the series, and the leading character Louie is phenomenon. Louie Aderson the leading character is the second youngest boy in the family. The mini-stories usually about Louie and his younger brother Tommy and their parents. The father is Andy Anderson is a veteran man and he speak all-time about the WW2. The mother is Ora Anderson who loves and holds together the giant family. Louie studying in the local primary school and his classmates are his friends. This series contain funny, sad, and emotional moments. I recommend it to everyone who wants to see an American child's entertaining adventures.
  • Why? Because this shoe comes from a time when Fox Kids didn't suck so much. Life with Louie is about comic Louie Anderson as a kid. The characters were great, particularly Andy Anderson (Louie's dad). Every episode was filled with many jokes and first class humor. If you think back to your own childhood, you can really relate to several episodes. Life with Louie was one of the best Saturday morning shows ever. If you can ever track it down, watch it.
  • I was extremely fortunate to watch this very masterpiece very early and thanks to it, my perception and vision of the world was righteously formed! Technically, Louis and his loyalty to his family, friends and even enemies seemed to be very innocent and frank, in a way that I really saw how he lived and cherished his relationships with close people. Basically, in each episode the viewer could elicit a good moral closely connected to the subject of each story. My childhood hero was Andy Anderson who was portrayed as a very radical and indignant character, but, in fact, he was the one who taught Louis all the principles of a decent and just life!
  • This show stands as the best cartoon ever, in my opinion. People always say the Simpsons or King of the Hill take the honour, but this was funny more often. All scenes had funny parts in them somewhere. But the truly delightful scenes are the ones between Louie and his Father. They made a comic pairing for the ages. The episode where Louie joined the baseball team is still the greatest cartoon episode ever written. It was indeed a dark day in television history when Louie went off the air. The brightest pearl is never discovered, and this is the brightest pearl of them all.
  • When this cartoon came on Fox, it was on in 1995 when I was 11 years old and I was in the sixth grade. Fox had some good shows like Eek! the cat, Goosebumps, and the original TMNT. I remember getting up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons, that's when cartoons were something worth watching compared to what's on TV today. Today's Saturday morning cartoons does stinks since ABC stopped showing like The Bugs and Tweety Show which aired for fourteen years until the show was canceled in 2000 for new crap like Nothing but Raven, Lilo and Stitch, The Proud Family, Lizzie Mcguire, etc. Recess were on ABC but not anymore. On Fox, there are like three cartoons worth watching and the shows are One Piece (which is like an anime type show), Sonic X, The new Teenage Mutuant Ninja Turtles. Those are the only shows currently worth watching on Fox. Well, enough of my ranting. Life with Louie is about comedian Louie Anderson's life growing up in a family with 10 siblings, a loud and war crazed father, an annoying little brother named Tommy, and a sweet mother. I remember he had only one friend, the friend's name was Jeanne. The rest of the kids just make fun of him at school and he didn't like it. I don't know why Fox did cancel this show, it was a pretty good show and now Fox, ABC, CBS, and WB! show nothing but stupid shows on Saturday mornings.
  • This television show created and voiced by Louie Anderson (ex-host of "Family Fortune") is actually quite funny. The animation isn't the best but it is entertaining and has a good number of jokes that are equally funny for adults; like "The Simpsons," you'll find yourself laughing at the jokes no one else in the room is.

    This is autobiographical to some degree; it is actually about Louie as a young child only it seems to be set in the '90s instead of earlier. Louie's father is the best character and always has the best lines and most embarrassing situations befall him.

    Overall this isn't a great animated show but for being a FOX kids program, you could do a lot, lot worse.

    i love it!!!!! this was a great cartoon... very very very funny, it was non stop laughter. it was a depiction of a boy's life named louie, which captures the innocence and humor of childhood. many of louie's thoughts and dilemmas are very similiar to ones i have went through in my life. and this cartoon tranforms the ordinary into funny. i loved it!!! it was one of the few very good saturday morning cartoons still on...a great cartoon!!!!
  • Life with Louie ,this cartoon had the lot ,it made me laugh and sometimes it made me feel sad .Every Saturday morning I would put everything off, until I had seen this little round kid tell the world, in his latest episode, about the problems he faced growing up . The reason I found it so good to watch , was because it was about real people with real problems , but I still found it funny ,in fact I have never laughed so much at a cartoon . I think everybody who loved the cartoon could relate to a certain character or episode where they could see a little bit of themselves's in the show .There was I think thirty seven episodes ,and everyone of those thirty seven shows was packed full of humour,I am looking forward to the day when I can sit with my children and watch this great cartoon again . If you ever get the chance {and its been seven years ,since the last showing in England}watch it .Im now waiting for a second showing, I wont miss out a second time , and then once again ,I can put my Saturday mornings on hold .
  • I was so sad when the series ended years ago. Like the ones in "Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids", the characters in "Life With Louie" were distinctive and funny. Having a grown up Louie doing the voice for himself as a kid didn't detract from the show at all; in fact, it made it better. Louie wasn't a grown up in the body of a kid like the "Peanuts" characters. He was a talented youngster with peculiar, well meaning parents. Don't we all know people like them? Sure, you know you do.
  • Life with Louie was a cartoon worth getting up on Saturday mornings for. You never knew what was going to happen. Louie's family had everything from the pesky little brother to the loving mother. Even the other children Louie knew made it interesting, especially the bully who would never call him by his real name. But the episodes were written well and were always funny. You could always identify with the characters. One of the best cartoons of the 90's!
  • Why does Louie's older brother appear, but never has any lines? (in other words, why do we only see his younger brother and occasionally his older sister? Is Glenn Glenn a pet name, or is his last name really Glenn? How does Andy Anderson know all of the heroes of WWII, including Ike? (I know this is explained in the episodes). Where does Louie live? Is it in Wisconsin or Minnesota (where Louie is really from) What does Andy do for a living? Does he work with Jim Anderson of Father Knows Best fame, and Ward Cleaver? (What did they do--I think Jim Anderson sold insurance). What happens to the deer that the Anderson family adopts? Does he eventually end up as spaghetti sauce, barbecued deer ribs, and venison bologna?

    Just some thoughts Bruce
