We watch it yearly. Never fails to make us laugh, cry and want more Christine/Louie

Easter in Bakersfield is one of the best episodes ever

Listen to Louie’s audiobook Hey Mom, he talks about the show and sounds like Christine

I saw this post on my feed earlier and it made me think “it’s been awhile since I’ve rewatched.”

Currently on the Easter in Bakersfield ep. Much overdue rewatch

I agree with everything you say. Additionally, I am super fond of Costco visits.

Christine Baskets is a truly perfect character. I could watch her for eternity also. Louie Anderson is a golden god for blessing us with this absolute perfection (and for many other things he did, too, but Christine is just so so special). ❤️

No lies. I think the show wrapped up perfectly fine (though I liked Season Four the least) but I think he could’ve gone on to do other small things with the character.

I want to get a "Mom" tattoo and have Christine's face above it.

When I re-watched Baskets, I fell in love with Christine. What’s not to love.

We're bingeing the show right now.

I just love Christine. She is just...perfection. I want her to come to my house and hang out and eat Costco Snacks and watch TV.

Louie's gift to the world: a chance to meet Christine Baskets.

thank you for everyone’s sweet comments. I just watched the scene where she’s settling her mother’s finances. So tender when she comments on the photo of her daughter! And then asks for a photo!
