Even if he does hate balloons. Balloons are cool.

I'm a jaded sumbitch. It's hard to get worked up about anything these days. But dammit, Louie is just perfection. Just when you think he's going to do something sappy, or conventional, he pulls the rug out from right underneath you.

The thing is, Louie doesn't really care about getting laughs all the time. That's the worst trend in television. Everything's got to be funny, every sentence a punchline. Few shows are really allowed to breath anymore.

Great ending. Has Vernon Chatman (of Wonder Showzen) always been a producer on Louie? That may be the biggest change for this season of all.
