The Really Loud House

I was really disappointed with 'The Really Loud House.' The show fails to capture the charm and energy that made the original animated series so enjoyable. The jokes are stale, and the humor feels forced, almost like it's trying too hard to be funny but just isn't. The characters lack the personality they had in the cartoon, and the acting feels wooden and unnatural. The writing is uninspired, with predictable plots and bland dialogue. It's a letdown for fans of the original, and overall, it feels like a cheap attempt to cash in on a beloved series without putting in any real effort whatsoever.

The original was bad enough. The Casagrande's took that heinousness to a new level. This is unfit for human consumption.

My six-year-old groaned and walked out of the room when it came on one time. My SIX-year-old found this show tedious and insulting to their sensibilities. One of my other children changed the channel to CSPAN.

CSPAN was more interesting to a child in this franchise's target demographic.

Yeah, I get that the channel selection was pretty much just the result of pressing the channel up button a few times on the remote, but the coincidence of it coming to rest on CSPAN was so laughably astute and telling that it had to be shared on public forum.

I could belabor the point by retelling the issues with the "original" (a word Nickelodeon seems to have forgotten the meaning of) show but that only seems to encourage the network to one up itself every time I say something is tired, retread, cliché, and soulless.

When I watched the first episode of this show, I was in disbelief. I didn't know how we as a society got to the point where we made this type of show voluntarily. It's disgusting, unsettling and genuinely the worst thing I've ever laid my eyes upon. I need a mental cleanse after this monstrosity the director mistakenly called "cinema". Every single joke was unfunny. Not a single one had even an ounce of humor in it. The first five minutes were difficult, but in the minutes after that I felt nothing but deep sadness. Sadness for the actors. For the producers. And for everyone that had no choice but to work on this traumatizing project.

First and foremost, the acting is incredibly bad, so much so that it feels like a rushed project you would submit for school. Staying faithful to the original is great and all, but they overdid it; the voices do sound like the original, but this makes it feel like they are magicked into the real world. See it for yourself, and you'll see what I mean. Second, the plot, and with that, the pacing is so off. There's no need to explain this one, it's just straight-up bad. And lastly, the cinematography is weird. (Apologies if I overemphasize this one, I just have a thing with visuals ;) ) I've seen several long-running series that still nail their visual storytelling, but this one goes for that high-contrast cinematic look but fails to do so and instead creates this confusing tone. Is this show really a sitcom or what? It looks like batman is about to show up. And, why is the sky computer-generated? What is it with the production design?

I know there are a lot of negative reviews about this show. A lot of people are dissecting everything about it. Complaining about the smallest littlest details. But come on people this show is a whole lot better than the garbage that is televised today. It is a great family program!! Something enjoyable for the whole family to watch!!! My daughters and I look forward every Thursday night to watch this show together!! So go ahead all you negative people say what you want but in my opinion I give this show a 10/10 and hope Nickelodeon signs this show on for many more seasons to come!!! Great job to the writers and cast!!!
