Louie Anderson is hilarious!


This is the best part I've ever seen Louie play. Louie has such an amazing humor with lightning quick jokes. Watching him do what seemed like improv was absolutely hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Louie as a woman but then he acted the part so fantastically. I loved the show and I hope we see a lot more Louie.

Mrs baskets mom was really funny too. The easter dinner conversation was hilarious and almost heart breaking.

You are right. Louie Anderson really makes the show a 10. He plays the role just amazing.

Talk about genius casting! The reason Louie A. is so great in this role is because odds are we've all encountered this same older woman at some point in our lives -- the look and demeanor, the voice, the dress, and especially the inane conversation. I just finished watching episode 3, and the exchange with Martha regarding the curly fries, including the follow up in the closing credits, had me on the floor.
