I watched the Loud House up until the atrocious episode known as "Kings of the Con", at which point I realized how stale the show's writing became and promptly ditched the series. I decided to watch the show's spinoff, The Casagrandes, instead. This show centers on Lincoln's friend Ronnie Anne, who moved to the city from Royal Woods, and is adjusting to life with her big family and new neighbors. It is quite similar to the Loud House, but different at the same time, and I can safely call the show better than The Loud House.
First of all, Ronnie Anne's Family doesn't have as much stereotypes as the Louds do. Each of them are very likable in their own way. It even has a good representation of people with Down syndrome in the form of the character CJ. They also don't abuse each other like the Louds do sometimes (like in No Such Luck). You also have Ronnie Anne's friends and neighbors, including Sid Chang, my personal favorite. She's a quirky, energetic girl with a love for K-pop, skateboarding and animals. I think she's a more interesting sidekick than Clyde McBride.
With The Loud House, it feels like they're running out of ideas at this point, so now they're recycling old episode plots but with a different coat of paint. However, the team of writers that went on to work on this show really know how to make do with the characters and setting they have. The city is more hectic and bustling than the suburban Royal Woods, so there's more supporting characters and a lot of potential plots that can be utilized, as well as a lot of potential characters to flesh out. There was a really good episode focusing on Day of the Dead, an important part of Mexican culture.
Speaking of Mexican culture, this show is a positive representation of a Latinx family. They're not perfect, but they love each other very much. This show makes Latinx kids and families feel seen, and there are no negative stereotypes. If you're getting tired of the Loud House, I recommend this show since this show manages be its own things. And no, its not The Cleveland Show 2.0. That joke isn't funny, so please stop.
