Episode synopsis
Louie Anderson tells the story of a typical Christmas season when growing up in Cedar Knolls, Wisconsin during his childhood. Young Louie and his family go through the usual routine every family goes through during the season--with some hilarious results! Everything from buying a Christmas tree for the steep (at that time) price of $35, to putting up Christmas decorations for a lonely neighbor (who turns out to be Jewish), to actually opening presents on Christmas Day.
About Life with Louie
The 8-year-old Louie is doing his best to grow up and cope with a large family, a doting mother, a pesky little brother, and a by-the-book, military veteran dad. Add to that a slew of holiday family squabbles, a flood, an old Rambler and a huge goldfish, and you have the background for Life with Louie. Each episode is a portrait of humor and warmth drawn from Louie Anderson's real-life experience as a child in the Midwest.
