The Loud House is an animated American comedy television series created by Chris Savino that premiered on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016. The series features the voices of Grant Palmer, Catherine Taber, Liliana Mumy, Nika Futterman, Cristina Pucelli, Jessica DiCicco, Grey Griffin, Lara Jill Miller, Caleel Harris, and Collin Dean. A feature of the series involves Lincoln Loud, the middle and only male child, breaking the fourth wall to explain to viewers the chaotic conditions and sibling relationships of the household. In addition to the series' regular episodes, Nickelodeon also released two shorts on its YouTube channel on April 18, 2016.

Plot

edit

The series is set in the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan, which is based on Chris Savino's hometown of Royal Oak. Each episode chronicles the suburban life of Lincoln Loud who is the only boy and middle child in a family of eleven children. He has ten sisters with distinctive personalities: Lori, the bossy child, Leni, the ditzy fashionista, Luna, the musician, Luan, the comedian, Lynn, the athlete, Lucy, the gloomy goth, Lana and Lola, the polar-opposite twins, Lisa, the genius, and Lily, the baby. Lincoln often encounters problems as a result of his large amount of family members which his best friend, Clyde, helps him solve. Clyde spends much of his time at the Loud house and communicates with Lincoln via a walkie-talkie when he is not around. Lincoln normally explains his issues to the audience by breaking the fourth wall and speaking to the viewers. While most of Lincoln's plans to make his life easier backfire, his predicaments tend to bring the family closer together.

Production

edit

The Loud House was created by Chris Savino for Nickelodeon. Chris Savino based the series on his own experiences growing up in a large family.[1] Early in development, the Loud family was going to be composed of rabbits, but this was terminated when an employee asked Chris Savino to make them human.[2] He pitched the idea to Nickelodeon in 2013 as a short for their annual Animated Shorts Program.[3] In June 2014, Nickelodeon announced that The Loud House had been picked up for a season of 13 episodes.[4] The episode order was later increased to 26.[5] Nickelodeon renewed the series for a second season of 14 episodes on May 25, 2016,[6] later increased to 26 episodes. The second season premiered on Nickelodeon on November 9, 2016. Nickelodeon renewed the series for a third season of 26 episodes on October 19, 2016.[7] Chris Savino has cited Peanuts and Polly and Her Pals as influences on the series' characterizations and animation. Newspaper comic strips are also influences on the series' background art.

Film

edit

On March 28, 2017, Paramount's motion picture president Marc Evans announced a movie based on the series set for release on February 7, 2020.[8]

The Loud House has gained high ratings since its debut, becoming the number-one children's animated series on American television within its first month on the air.[12] The series received widespread attention and a nomination at the 28th GLAAD Media Awards for its introduction of Howard and Harold McBride, two supporting characters who are a same-sex couple.[13] In May 2017, the series' main characters were featured on the front cover of Variety as an example of cultural and ethnic diversity impacting television series.[14]

The Loud House became the number-one children's animated series on television within its first month on the air.[12] Throughout May 2016, it received an average of 68% more viewers in its target audience of children aged 6–11 than broadcasts on Nickelodeon in May of the previous year.[15] It was Nickelodeon's second highest-rated series as of June 2016 along with SpongeBob SquarePants, holding an average Nielsen rating of 4.9 among the 2–11 demographic at the time.[16]

The Los Angeles Times cited The Loud House as a major factor in maintaining Nickelodeon's position as the highest-rated children's network in summer 2016.[17] During the series' fourth week of premieres, Cyma Zarghami announced that it was continuing to draw more viewers than any other series on the channel.[18]

The series' highest-rated episode, with 2.28 million viewers upon its premiere, is "Two Boys and a Baby" which aired on July 19, 2016.[19] This was the first episode to air after it was announced that Howard and Harold McBride would be debuting on the series. The first episode of The Loud House shown at prime time, "11 Louds a Leapin'", was the seventh most-viewed telecast across all U.S. households on November 25, 2016.[20]

Broadcast

edit

The series debuted on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016, with new episodes premiering every weekday that month.[21] The first trailer for the series premiered on March 13, 2016.[22] The series is also aired on AFN Family.

Reception

edit

The Loud House has been critically acclaimed, specifically for its animation, voice acting, characterization, and the heartwarming themes of each episode. Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media praised the series' voice cast and thematic messages, writing that "kids will come to The Loud House for the laughs, but they'll return for the ensemble cast and the surprisingly heartwarming themes that dominate every story".[26] Kevin Johnson of The A.V. Club gave the series a B+, noting that "the female characters are defined by their traits, but never judged for them".[27]

The characters of Howard and Harold McBride have received praise for being a positive representation of a married same-sex couple.[28] They are the first married same-sex couple to be featured in a Nicktoon.[29][30] Laura Bradley of Vanity Fair stated that The Loud House "handles the topic [of same-sex marriage] in exactly the right way...this kind of casual representation in children's programming is a milestone".[31] De Elizabeth of Teen Vogue wrote: "The best part is that the show doesn't treat these characters any differently, or even introduce them with a heavy asterisk about their marital status".[32] The Frisky's Tai Gooden mentioned that "kids who have two dads (or moms) will be more than thrilled to see a family they can identify with on TV".[33] Time reported that "people are thrilled about Nickelodeon's decision" to include a gay couple.[34] However, the characters have been met with criticism from conservative media groups. The American Family Association attempted to prevent Nickelodeon from airing scenes featuring the McBride parents, saying that "Nickelodeon should stick to entertaining instead of pushing an agenda".[35] The Kenya Film Classification Board also called for the suspension of the series on Pay TV service provider DSTV, saying that the animated series "promotes the Lesbian, Gay and Transgender agenda".[36]
