Die Prouds: Lauter und trauter

Some successful shows from the past just need to stay in the past. Don't make a reboot if you can't make it happen. Now it is just The proud family: badder & sadder.

When the original Proud Family premiered, I found it charming, funny, and relatable. It always had a slight political lean, but I didn't let it bother me. It was by no definition perfect, but for a kid's show it doesn't have to be. This sequel series is a major downgrade.

Through lazy writing it got rid of a funny character and replaced said character for essentially a political advertisement which set the tone for the entire first season. Season two from the start has clearly shown that this show has become nothing more than a method for unhappy writers, directors, and producers to tell the world that they have an ax to grind while ignoring concepts like making the characters likeable, relatable, and develop through engaging stories.

First of all, that theme song is awful. They should have kept the original one because it fit the energy of the show. However, I guess that explains the new song because this reboot is just as bad. It's just bland and trying too hard. I love Keke Palmer and was so excited to see she was going to be a part of this, but I do not like her character. Oscar is even worse, Trudy is super dominant, and I can go on and on but I'm disappointed and this is just NO.

I was wondering how this show was so bad and still rated a 6.5 until I realized I was looking at the original, which my wife really loved. She talked me into watching this with her and we were appalled and disgusted. The level of hate the writers and producers of this new version have for one specific type of people is insane.

This is the show that literally was the last straw for my family and we cancelled our Disney / Hulu subscription after watching this.

The writing was horrible, and worst of all it was clearly done by a team of people that are obsessed with hating on a certain type of people.

I was saddened by how they allowed this show to devolve into a political statement. Content is very poorly written. Acting (voice overs) is even worse. It seems they tried to resort to very one-sided political views to gloss over boring storylines, not funny scenes, and overall (again) very poor content. Please just entertain us with good writing and good humor. Characters appear shallow and generic in so many ways. It is hard not to compare it to the previous iteration which was flowing and so humorous. It just carried you along and made your day better. This version is so filled with meandering dialogue and incomprehensible plots that I feel lost and bored after watching it. In conclusion, very sad.
