The second season of the American television comedy series Louie premiered on June 23, 2011 and concluded on September 8, 2011. It consisted of thirteen episodes, each running approximately 23 minutes in length. FX broadcast the second season on Thursdays at 10:30 pm in the United States. The season was produced by 3 Arts Entertainment and the executive producers were Louis C.K., Dave Becky and M. Blair Breard. The second season was released on DVD and Blu-ray in region 1 on June 19, 2012.
Louie was created by Louis C.K., who serves as the series' sole writer and director. C.K. stars as a fictionalized version of himself, a comedian and newly divorced father raising his two daughters in New York City. The show has a loose format atypical for television comedy series, consisting of largely unconnected storylines and segments (described as "extended vignettes") that revolve around Louie's life, punctuated by live stand-up performances.
The season received critical acclaim from critics.
Louie unwillingly takes home Jane's class ducklings for the evening. The next morning he embarks on a 5-day USO tour in the Middle East, when unbeknownst to him, Lilly had hidden one of the ducklings in his suitcase to keep him safe. Louie meets other entertainers (including country western singer Keni Thomas) as well as many various soldiers during his time overseas. The duckling ends up bringing Louie and others good luck in ridiculous and heartwarming fashion.
After a show at Caroline's, Steven Wright pressures Louie to find a female fan to go home with. He meets a woman outside who offers to "show him her pussy" and Louie gets into the car, unsure of his destination. She drives him to her home in New Jersey, where Louie discovers she is married and was hoping to "share" Louie with her husband (F. Murray Abraham). Louie is visibly uncomfortable and the husband, offended, throws Louie out. He calls his friend Chris Rock to pick him up, which he grudgingly does, and the two have a talk about Louie's lack of responsibility while Rock's wife ceaselessly insults Louie (off-camera).
