Did you know
- TriviaAt the end, when Louie is "slapping fives" with Chico & Ed, it goes like this; He RECEIVES fives from Ed. He then, immediately turns to Chico & GIVES Chico fives & then RECEIVES fives from Chico. He then turns back to Ed, who has his palms up, ready to RECEIVE fives FROM Louie, because Ed had originally GIVEN fives to Louie. But instead, Louie has his palms up, ready to RECEIVE again from Ed. So Ed just GAVEfives to Louie again. Actually, this was probably a mistake made by Scatman Crothers in the scene. Jack Albertson was following suit correctly but probably decided NOT to break character, but to simply go with what Scatman Crothers was doing & continue the scene.

Louie goes from garbage to garage
"Louie's Retirement" sees the former garbage man still driving his green Studebaker but unable to cope with retirement, making himself a nuisance at the garage for three days running. The new garbage man (Damian London) doesn't treat the cans with the same kind of respect, boasting that his previous job was stockbroker, the day before! Louie seemingly takes over, turning the garage into his personal waxing museum, with neither Ed's knowledge or consent. Rather than risk losing their friendship, Louie goes back into garbage. Ed receives a phone call from Shirley Schrift, formerly played by Shelley Winters, who doesn't actually appear. This first season episode debuts a new Chico phrase: "Looking Good!" (another reprise of 'the little dog in the back window').
