6. Surreal
The whole lack of continuity thing is somewhat surreal in and of itself, but that's really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this series. When shows like "How I Met Your Mother" (which I love, by the way) get surreal, it can come off a bit silly and sitcom-y. When "Louie" does it, it's like, "Wow, this guy is really going through this." He somehow makes it seem believable when a woman he's on a date with suddenly runs onto a helicopter and flies away. It's simply a look into the world of Louie, and his world can get a bit weird.
