It’s time for Part 5 of the “LOUIE on TV” posts, which by an unplanned coincidence, feature TV shows where women are the lead characters.<\/p>\n

We’ll start with the most recent TV clip, which my friend Krista Woo<\/strong>d alerted me to..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

SMILF<\/strong> (Showtime)
\nSeason 1 \/ episode 8 \/ December 31, 2017
\n“Mark’s Lunch & Two Cups of Coffee”<\/p>\n

Bridgette (Frankie Shaw<\/strong>) meets up with a man on Tinder who she believed to be her estranged father, who turns to be someone else. Afterwards Bridgette meets up with her mom Tutu (Rosie O’Donnell<\/strong>), then some friends at a bar, and they all drink \u2018n\u2019 dance to the sounds of Julie London<\/strong> singing LOUIE LOUIE somewhere around the 27:30 timeline.<\/p>\n

\u2028Grace Under Fire<\/strong> (ABC)
\nSeason 2 \/ episode 20 \/ 1995-03-14\u2028
\n\u201cA Night at the Opera \u201d \u2028
\n(no actual LOUIE performance)<\/p>\n

Grace (Brett Butler<\/strong>), a fan of opera, wins two tickets to an opera performance, but can\u2019t find anyone to join her for this show. When she arrives at the opera, she meets a handsome Italian man (David Dundara<\/strong>) without a ticket, gives him the ticket and they both have a wonderful time. As Grace discusses how she doesn\u2019t need understand Italian to appreciate opera, she adds \u201cI like Louie Louie and I don\u2019t understand it.\u201d<\/em> (18:28)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both of those two clips can be seen via Amazon Prime.<\/p>\n

The third clip is not available through official outlets but someone posted the entire episode on YouTube, which I’ve included in this post.<\/p>\n

My Sister Sam<\/strong> (CBS)
\nSeason 1 \/ episode 11 \/ 1987-01-12
\n“Club Dread”\u2028<\/p>\n

While Patti (Rebecca Schaeffer<\/strong>) prepares for a night out at 60s-theme school dance, she discloses her phobias about dancing in public with her sister Sam (Pam Dawber<\/strong>). When they arrive at the dance, we immediately hear Jack Ely<\/strong> (former Kingsmen<\/strong> singer)\u2019s re-recording of LOUIE LOUIE, which is very similar to the original 1963 Kingsmen recording. (14:50 to 18:13).\u2028<\/p>\n
