The Loud House (season 4-present)

1="This was a show that originally had a lot of talent behind it, and to some extent that talent is still there. I just don't think it's being properly utilized, because they're trying to do things with the show that it was not designed to work with. In the end, we were all fools, deceived by a man's reputation and career even though he was a Nickelodeon showrunner, so something had to be up behind the scenes. And the people following the hype of YouTubers without thinking for themselves made the problem exponentially worse. You could probably tell that this video isn't my most sophisticated or... fuck it, I guess it's not filled with much content. That kind of explains just how much I have to say about the show because it really can just be summarized to a few key points. I guess I do better when there are more things to rip into to explain why something is bad, but for The Loud House, there isn't much to explain. Its flaws are in plain sight."

 * -|2="You know that trope you hear all the time "only the creator does it right"? People will say it when shows start going downhill, like SpongeBob did when Stephen Hillenburg left, or the Simpsons when Matt Groening moves on to Futurama. And there definitely is some logic to it; except in cases where the more involvement the creator has, the worse the show is, like with Danny Phantom. Usually, the creator has the most pure understanding of their work. They've known it the longest, and can understand its strengths better than anyone else? The problem, of course, is that this trope doesn't just apply to good people. Let me be absolutely clear here. No show on earth excuses anything that Chris Savino did. Nickelodeon was absolutely right to remove him. That being said, since Chris Savino's departure, the show has gone downhill heavily. I'd imagine it's because Nickelodeon itself has gotten its tendrils into it deeply, and is doing its Nickelodeon thing: spin-offs, extra episodes, a live-action s-- A LIVE-ACTION SPECIAL??!! You're serious!! Really, we're doing this again??!!"

- MrEnter The Loud House is an American animated television series created by Chris Savino. It premiered on Nickelodeon on May 2, 2016, and is still airing new episodes to this day. Since March 11, 2022, the show is currently in its sixth season. The show in general used to be a smash hit, but it later became criticized by critics and audiences for several reasons. The fifth season is known to be the season where the show officially jumped the shark. Season 6 is currently unknown, though it’s clear that it’s doing a little better.

Seasons 1-4
Lincoln Loud is an accident-prone 11-year-old boy who lives with ten sisters. Lincoln finds new ways to survive in such a large family every day. He has ten sisters with distinctive personalities consisting of bossy eldest child Lori, ditzy fashionista Leni, musician Luna, comedian Luan, athletic Lynn Jr., gloomy poetic goth Lucy, polar opposite twins Lana and Lola, child genius Lisa, and baby Lily.

To avoid problems and to be loved by his sisters, Lincoln continually devises plans to make his life in the Loud House better, without his parents finding out.

Seasons 5-present
In the fifth season, the Loud siblings aged up a year with Lori going to Fairway University, Lincoln going to middle school, and Lily going to preschool.

Why It's Way Too Too Loud Nowadays

 * 1) The seasons’ main problem is that they lacked the same charm as the first two seasons and to a lesser extent, the third season. This is because the show's creator, Chris Savino, was no longer in charge due to being fired from Nickelodeon for sexual harassment allegations in 2017 when the third season was still in production. While Nickelodeon had every right to fire him, it still doesn't change the fact that the series went downhill during Season 3.
 * 2) *It doesn't help with the fact that the fifth season sped up the decline in quality since it shows off some of the worst episodes of the whole show and even the flanderization of certain characters like Leni Loud (who has gotten cranked up to 11).
 * 3) *To make matters worse as if The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder wasn't enough, they announced plans for a live-action TV show. Within this announcement it probably made the show here age poorly.
 * 4) *Out of these seasons so far, Season 5 is considered the worst of the bunch because of how it showed so much flanderization and that it also made the show completely "jump the shark" with its premiere of "Schooled!", where Lincoln is forced to go to a middle school in Canada due to how he had way too much unnecessary amounts of torture.
 * 5) Like the final two seasons of The Fairly OddParents, the writing has become pretty lazy and poor. The show often recycles and rehashes episodes from the previous seasons and sometimes even from other TV shows or movies. Many of the writers also don't seem to show any respect for the show’s fans proven by how they have disrespected their audience's intelligence several times. While this could be due to the writers running out of ideas, it can become way too repetitive at times. What’s even more baffling is that unlike most other cartoons that experience seasonal rot The Loud House wasn't even five years old by the time its fourth season premiered. This proved how limited storytelling ideas have become with this series. Here is a list of the rehashed or recycled episode plots:
 * 6) "The Boss Maybe", while decent, is a rehash of Season 1's "No Guts, No Glori", but this time it replaces Lori with Leni, and Lily goes along with the parents too. It's also a rehash of Season 4's "Leader of the Rack" as both episodes focus on Leni trying to be a cool leader and facing chaos until Fiona and Miguel help her. Also, in both episodes, Leni is a passenger of Vanzilla, with the driver comforting her.
 * 7) Power Play, while better than The Green House, is nevertheless a rehash of it.
 * 8) "Family Bonding", (despite not stealing any elements from the previous seasons), steals the plot from the 1989 black comedy film titled The 'Burbs, but this time the Miller family aren't killers and instead they are spies.
 * 9) "Strife of the Party" (despite not stealing any elements from the previous seasons) is similar to the episode "Buffer Bother" from the children's television show Thomas and Friends as it even takes the same type of "You can't always get what you want" moral.
 * 10) Band Together (while possibly good depending on your view) is a rehash of Season 1's "House Music". This is because in both episodes Luna initially enjoys playing with her bands she later abandons them for the sake of her career despite her claims of working together. In the end, Luna returns and apologizes.
 * 11) "Season's Cheating" takes elements from both "Mall of Duty" and "The Sweet Spot". The episode follows Lincoln trying to get a Rip Hardcore backpack like him trying to get the book and using a seating chart to rig stuff like him trying to get the sweet spot on the car trip.
 * 12) "No Bus No Fuss" is a rehash of Season 1's "Heavy Meddle" all because the main premise of the episode is that Lincoln gets bullied (though not by Ronnie Anne Santiago and instead by 3 eight-graders). Additionally, Lincoln's friend group is added. That episode is also no better either.
 * 13) "Resident Upheaval" is identical to Season 2's "Intern for the Worse". Both episodes involve Lincoln and Clyde competing and fighting each other only to learn that they were manipulated by someone else. Flip is replaced by Scoots.
 * 14) "Silence of the Luans" (despite not stealing any elements from the previous seasons and also being a decent episode) is a rehash of the film The Silence of the Lambs. Lincoln tries to figure out who the April Fools Day prankster is while getting Luan to help him find it.
 * 15) "Undercover Mom" (despite not stealing any elements from the previous seasons) is a rehash combination of the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High and its spin-off television show Fast Times, Mrs. Doubtfire, Some Like It Hot, Fanfarn der Liebe and Never Been Kissed. The first and second one involves someone writing a book about going undercover at a high school and Mrs. Doubtfire having someone disguising the main protagonist as someone. Never Been Kissed has someone writing an article about going undercover at a high school, so of the “writing” types are almost the same.
 * 16) "Grub Snub" is a rehash of Season 1's "Space Invader". Both episodes involve Lincoln trying to get one of his older sisters out of his area. Only in this one, Lincoln's friends attempt to get another friend group out of public space. Unfortunately it gets bad to the point where the owner got injured and the place got destroyed.
 * 17) Fam Scam is a rehash of Season 4's Write and Wrong and even The Casagrandes episode Mexican Makeover as both episodes involve the main character pretending to be better than they actually are for the sake of having a beneficial company.
 * 18) Many of the characters have been flanderized and lack the original charm they once had (especially the Loud family):
 * 19) Lincoln himself went from being a kind-hearted "man with the plan" and a very likable character who is respectful to his friends and family into a huge Butt-Monkey and a punching bag who the world often beats down on. While this was always a problem, it has increased since Season 4. Worst of all, Lincoln going through unnecessary torment is always used for the sake of laughs and something like that makes you feel like the writers just wanted to express all their unjustified hatred towards him. He also became even more selfish as he started doing more things for the benefit of himself such as in Kings of the Con. He slightly improved in Season 5 and mostly improved in Season 6.
 * 20) Rusty has been flanderized since season 5 into a stupid and selfish boy, who only cares about helping others for his benefit. Examples include Zach Attack, Dont Eascar Go, All the Rage, Saved By The Spell and Frame on You.
 * 21) Lincoln's friend group, most notably Clyde and Rusty, has become much more selfish than that of previous seasons. Half of the time when they are in an episode that takes place in the middle school, they usually tend to sacrifice each others aspirations or talents for their benefits, whether it be all of them (like in "Saved by the Spell" and "Dont Eascar Go") or one of them (such as the aforementioned Clyde in "Flying Solo"). Their actions during the season are nearly comparable to what Lincoln was like in most of his episodes in season 4. Starting in season 5, they are no longer classmates with Lincoln because Principal Ramirez does not work out for Lincoln to assigned to Mrs. Salter's class with them and there's no room left.
 * 22) Leni starting in season 5, become the deuteragonist of the show (due to Lori moving out to attend Fairway University) and the new oldest sibling in the house which went from being an airheaded and naïve yet compassionate, fun-loving, and still clumsy teenage girl to a total idiot who behaves as if she's lost all signs of intelligence, so much so it makes Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas from Dumb & Dumber look like a pair of Einsteins. Since in season 6 episode "Driver's Dread", she finally got her driver's license and able to drive Vanzilla completely after she passed her driving test.
 * 23) Luan became more of a one dimensional character and most of her episodes mainly focus on her,Benny and their relationship.
 * 24) Lynn Jr. has reverted into, and has completely become an unlikable jerk in season 5 and onwards, especially in “Schooled!”, where she abused the post of the monitor in the hall such as stuffing Lincoln into a locker just because he was running. This makes her a hypocrite, as in the episode "Middle Men", she was worried about Lincoln if he was to get bullied on his first day of middle school. But here, she does the exact thing she was against with Lincoln for no apparent reason other than she is the hall monitor.
 * 25) Lucy, just like Lincoln, became more selfish to get what she wanted in seasons 4 and 5:
 * 26) In "A Grave Mistake", she manipulated Lincoln to joining her club so that she could become the leader of her club.
 * 27) In "She's All Bat" where she wanted to get rid of Lola just because Lola was stealing her attention. She went as far as forging a document which could've gotten her in big trouble by the school or even suspended.
 * 28) Chandler: He is Lincoln's arch-enemy and went from "manipulative asshat" (at worst) to "inconsiderate, apathetic bully" and become more of a bully towards Lincoln and his friends. What makes it worse is that he became friends with Lincoln in "Jeers for Fears". Starting in season 5, he becomes the main antagonist of the show. He is also skilled at plotting and scheming to torture Lincoln's life by making him get into trouble and missed any fun that he like.
 * 29) Lisa has become a more nerdy toddler who only thinks she is in the right but sometimes acts stupid like in House Flip and Time Trap.
 * 30) The rest of the sisters like Lori, Luna, Lana, Lola, and Lily have become background characters for season 5 onwards.
 * 31) Mr. Bolhofner: He went from being a "strict, but fair" retired military man, who does not have a family to a pigsty, a very dimwitted buffoon, and a very mean, sneaky, rude, and crafty madman who hates children and takes his anger out on Lincoln just for sick kicks until he has a change of heart in the near end of "Rumor Has It". On top of that, he's not working real hard, as a teacher, due to his utter stupidity.
 * 32) Lynn Sr. became an immature father who is scared to defend himself from his own children.
 * 33) Rita became a terrible mother who tell her children to lie to get their problems solved.
 * 34) A number of bad-to-mediocre episodes (see the Notable bad episodes from these seasons so far section).
 * 35) The mean-spirited vibes and negative tones that plagued several episodes of the first three seasons return here and they're somehow worse here than they were in the first three seasons.
 * 36) There are far too many Lincoln torture episodes (or jokes). Not only have they returned to prominence in these seasons, but this time, they've been cranked up to eleven because the show's writers think making a likable main character suffer for stupid reasons or no reason is funny when in reality, it's the exact opposite.
 * 37) *The most notable instance of this comes from "No Bus No Fuss", where a group of bullies pummels Lincoln (and his friends) due to him sitting in their seat, which is located in the very back of the bus. What makes this feel so undeserved is that Lincoln wasn't even aware that the seat in question was claimed by the bullies, resulting in them coming off as rather petty and horrible.
 * 38) Like the Gene Deitch era of Tom and Jerry, some of the episodes are a huge waste of potential since, even though they do utilize a bunch of good ideas, whether it be a middle school setting (in various episodes, despite being a bit odd for this show), a Canadian setting (in Schooled), the college setting (in some episodes like Schooled) and even the preschool setting (in some episodes like Appetite for Destruction), for heaps of comedic gags while at the same time to show the viewers what is it like to be in these real life settings in a positive way, but unfortunately, those ideas are ruined by many stale or unfunny jokes that rely more on stereotypes and the negative tone, while the rest of the episodes rely more on the torture elements on various episodes like on Lincoln and even Rita and Lynn Sr.
 * 39) The Loud House, despite having stereotypes itself, had a unique charm that didn't come off as disrespectful and insulting. But since Season 5, it's done in even more one-dimensional and exaggerated ways and the portrayals of them can come off as stupid, cringeworthy, or downright disrespectful, and not only that, it makes the show look racist in terms of stereotyping cultures.
 * 40) *The worst offender is "Schooled!", where Canada is depicted as being a horrible country to live, in that is obsessed with ice hockey, log cabins, and is snowy with lots of mooses, all of which any Canadian would point out are no more commonplace than in the United States. These jokes are not done in a charming way like South Park, and instead come off as just annoying where they try to shove in a Canadian joke every 2 seconds. There is even one part where a character tells Lincoln to say he’s allergic to Canada, which is just an un-self-aware xenophobic line.
 * 41) *And to make matters worse, Kyle Marshall is Canadian himself much to the irony of the show. Wouldn’t he know how to tell some good Canada jokes?
 * 42) Many of the newer episodes are very predictable, with morals that are so basic, half-baked, forced down the viewers' throat, and far-fetched it's not even funny, and some of the episodes don't need any morals, to begin with. Even when it's not them, it's usually how almost every episode plays its plotline, except it switches its formula around now and again.
 * 43) *Here is how this predictable kind of plot goes. Something is the main concept or plot point for the story on what happens today, the character gets a stupid idea or two that they have in mind, the character goes off to stick to their plan, all goes fine until bad things happen, sometimes they notice or don't notice and don't care, all hell breaks loose, the character is reprimanded, the character goes "It's all my fault!" and apologizes for the events, they end the episode with either the character setting things right or learning a lesson and all is happy. This was a formula used before in some episodes of the show, and while it was present, it was not used this much. Here, it feels like the writers began to run out of ideas entirely as the way this formula is used makes the episodes more dull and mundane to watch.
 * 44) Some of the jokes are not as good as the jokes that played in the first three seasons. Instead, they come off as annoying, stale, unfunny, painful to laugh at, and/or even offensive to some people.
 * 45) The animation in these seasons, while not terrible, is a pretty big downgrade from the first three seasons. It's especially surprising since the show is still animated by Jam Filled Entertainment. Here are some examples of poor animation:
 * 46) *The character animations can either look very limited, uncanny or fluid.
 * 47) *The lines of the characters are now headachinly too thin. While not a bad thing to change the art style a little, this here is not the case as it makes the animation look uncanny in some scenes.
 * 48) *The color palette is far too colorful and may give someone a headache.
 * 49) *In some scenes, viewers can also notice reused assets.
 * 50) *This is due to the show having a new creative director, making the animation software transition from Toon Boom Harmony to Adobe Animate.
 * 51) The plots are a lot more nonsensical and stupid due to these seasons having a more cartoony feel compared to the previous seasons. The show always had some cartoonish elements in the first three seasons, but they weren’t there to advance the plot. "White Hare" from season 3 had the element where Lincoln is a rabbit named Warren and has 25 sisters, and the overall execution was done extremely well. The same cannot be said with "Schooled!" for several reasons. The same is with The Casagrandes, though thankfully not as much.
 * 52) *In addition, seasons 4, 6 & especially 5 have been having a lot of overly cartoonish elements in many episodes. This started to surface in season 3, but at least there, the show still had its slice-of-life roots. In the first two seasons, some episodes have cartoonish elements, but they were minor and didn't do anything to the plot. Season 4 and 6 had most episodes which have at least one cartoonish moment, and in season 5, such moments have become more commonplace and in more episodes. Some episodes that have them are the Miller family being spies, working for SUSPENSE, and their evil plan in "Family Bonding", ghosts existing in "Ghosted!", Flip's biological oddities in "Blinded by Science", Liam's wounded arm being so visibly deformed and Lucy using her ghost magic to cure Liam's arm in "Cow Pie Kid", Lisa making an invention to bring Dolly the Dinosaur in The Loud House universe in "School of Shock", Jazzy destroying a lot of Royal Woods in "Training Day", and Lisa making an invention to go inside and fighting the monsters in Lily's nightmare with Leni, Lynn, Lincoln, Lola, and Lily in "Dream a Lily Dream".
 * 53) Like SpongeBob's, these seasons' contunity is very inconsistent.
 * 54) *In Schooled!, Lincoln's teacher is different as he was in Middle Men.
 * 55) These seasons had never have good character development, as they learn their lesson in the end and apologize, only to revert to their old ways in the next episode, showing that the show does now keep a Status Quo because the Status Quo is God to Nickelodeon or something. However, Lincoln is a little bit more likable in season 5 whilst everyone else has either lost their way or forgot they even had character development at all. How awfully and vaguely familiar to this one...
 * 56) The show doesn't know how to handle its focus on the characters anymore (as of season 5):
 * 57) There have been way too many Lincoln and the gang episodes in season 5 as opposed to there being some in the first four seasons, with the exceptions of "Silence of the Luans" and "Much Ado About Noshing".
 * 58) Lincoln himself has been the focus of way, way too many episodes, though this is excusable as he didn't have as much focus in season 4. After all, he's the main protagonist of the show. The most notable Lincoln-centric episodes are: "Schooled!", "Family Bonding", "Kernel of Truth", "Ghosted!", "Blinded by Science", "Season's Cheatings", "A Flipmas Carol", "Saved by the Spell", "No Buss No Fuss", "Resident Upheaval", "Flying Solo", "Rumor Has It", "Grub Snub", "Much Ado About Noshing" Broadcast Blues", "Camped!", "How the Best Was Won", "Farm to Unstable", and "For Sale by Loner". This list also includes some episodes that don't directly focus on him.
 * 59) While it is nice to see Lincoln having more episodes to himself, he has been getting so many episodes even to the point where sisters like Luan, Lucy, and Lily, have had only one episode, sisters not having one more episode, sisters not having more than two episodes, etc. The same is with Clyde.
 * 60) This was also the case with season 1 and 2, but at least it was executed better there as the show was formerly more focused on Lincoln's point-of-view when it came to living with ten sisters.
 * 61) While it is nice to see Lori go to college, however, she has been appearing less frequently even to the point where the sisters and other characters have been appearing more than her and having more major roles. There are also a lot of episodes where the whole Loud family appears without her as a result.
 * 62) Lisa and Lynn have gotten too many episodes in season 5. Lisa's ones are: "Blinded by Science", "School of Shock", "Friday Night Fights", "Dream a Lily Dream" and "The Loudly Bones". Lynn's ones are: "Schooled!", "Cow Pie Kid", "Hurl, Interrupted", and "Friday Night Fights".
 * 63) Although Lily has gone to preschool as of "Schooled!": she has yet to have her episode (or one involving her in preschool like making a friend or something else), to the point where all of the sisters and Lincoln himself have had their episodes. This is the same case with the first three seasons, of which whenever there is a Lily-themed episode, it is always someone else that is the main protagonist and not Lily. She only has had one episode solely focusing on her, which is "Any Given Sunday", though she eventually got a preschool episode (at the very end of season 5, despite the fact there were many opportunities beforehand that season the preschool could be showcased) called "Appetite for Destruction".
 * 64) Ronnie Anne and her family (alongside Sid Chang) have been completely absent in season 5 without any mentions or cameos (except for Bobby and Sergio who were seen/mentioned in "Schooled!"). It doesn't help that Bobby has appeared in season 5 (he has appeared in "Schooled!", is mentioned in "The Boss Maybe", "Ghosted!", "Camped!" (on Lori's phone) and is mentioned in the upcoming "For Sale by Loner" alongside a lot of other Great Lakes City residents), and the main characters of the show have been making a lot of appearances in their spin-off series, though it is excusable since they are the main characters in the spin-off series. They might return to the show for another season after Ronnie Anne's spin-off show The Casagrandes ends.
 * 65) Some new characters that could potentially be used more are introduced in one episode (i.e. Rocky from "Back in Black" or Chloe in "Brave the Last Dance"), only to make little-to-no appearances again. While this problem was present before the downhill ("Back in Black" and "L is for Love" are both from Season 2), they could still bring these characters back to give them more story ideas again.
 * 66) On the subject of "L is for Love", the love interests of the siblings, with the exceptions of Sam and Benny, have been pretty much forgotten by season 4, which is disappointing because there have been a fair few episodes focusing on some of the siblings' events where the interests would have wanted to cheer on or support them. Leni, in particular, was said to be dating her interest in the season 3 episode "Really Loud Music", but he isn't seen or mentioned since then, and in season 5, she gets new crushes, first an unnamed boy with a cowlick in "Undercover Mom", then Scott in the movie.
 * 67) Supporting characters like Flip ("A Flipmas Carol"), Stella ("Saved by the Spell"), Zach ("Zach Attack"), and Mr. Grouse ("For Sale by Loner") get their episodes. While it is nice to see them get their episodes in season 5, it can be insulting and tiresome for some fans since they want to see their favorite characters get some episode(s).
 * 68) Like seriously, we want to see Darcy or Paige or any one-time-character get their own episodes, NEVER the morticians club!
 * 69) Alongside many other shows like Teen Titans Go!, some episodes have rather misleading titles. On top of that, some titles are really lame, especially "No Bus, No Fuss", "Fam Scam" and "Frame on You". The worst title is "Grub Snub", because not only does it sound stupid, but it references Grubhub, which is yet another attempt to be relevant.
 * 70) Speaking of jumping the shark, one way the show lost its charm was to stop making it have a slice-of-life feel and more of a fantasy genre in season 4 onwards. This is at its worst in the movie where it has dragons and magic in it. Even if the slice-of-life feel is present, it no longer stays consistent within the show anymore. Leaving the show to become a neutered and dumbed-down show that lost all of its mojos. Plus, the slapstick feel was at least normal in the first 3 seasons, but at this point, it has been amplified to no longer seem even the bit funny and fitting for a realistic show. One major example of unrealism were the infamous episodes Time Trapǃ and The Mad Scientist, in which it involves the Louds time traveling.
 * 71) Like the Gene Deitch era of Tom and Jerry, Ren and Stimpy Adult PArty Cartoon, seasons 6-8 of SpongeBob SquarePants, the Larry Doyle era of looney Tunes, Herman and Katnip, and Popee the Performer, these seasons relies more on gratitious over-the-top violence instead of slapstick, but cranked up to 11 here
 * 72) While it was a good idea to age up the characters and move them up a grade in season 5, it felt unnecessary to do and it removes the charm that the first four seasons had.
 * 73) Just like the 11th and 12th seasons of The Simpsons, these seasons rely more on over-the-top stories, with the previously mentioned Schooled! being the worst offender.
 * 74) Much like Teen Titans Go!, their films are just as inconsistent:
 * 75) The Loud House Movie, while it had some postives that keeped it from being bad, had a lot of flaws that kept it from being good either.
 * 76) A Loud House Christmas was made just to give the franchise the aforementioned live-action series that nobody asked for.
 * 77) Overall, these seasons damaged the reputation of the show, and has caused some people to hate the show even though despite suffering from a nasty case of seasonal rot, the show was good before said seasonal rot. This show is an example of some terrible Seasonal Rot within Nickelodeon's history (possibly the worst case yet). Along with that, no improvement has happened ever since "Schooledǃ", and more terrible episodes have come along, which contributed to the downfall of the now toxic fanbase as well. But still, Nickelodeon uses this as their second cash cow besides SpongeBob SquarePants, as there is currently 7 seasons, two whole movies, a long special, and the live-action show. And it's safe to be said- it is unlikely the series will recover and it most likely won't be as good as it was ever again, not even a reboot from a decade after its cancellation can repair the damage. At least SpongeBob is lucky to recover since Stephen Hillenburg was still involved on the show, even during its seasonal rot in seasons 6-8, that is until he died, leading to the newer seasons still being somewhat of a downgrade, though the show still remains good, but sadly Chris Savino isn't around for this show due to the sexual harassment accusations, and SpongeBob fans should be thankful that as SpongeBob has got out from its seasonal rot. It’s like the Family Guy (post Season 7) or seasons 4-6 of Johnny Test in that matter, except that at least for Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane had a good reason for why the show went downhill and it was out of his control, and the latter had improved in its 2021 reboot. This show on the other hand, it seems it will never return to the original charm. Plus, most of the problems these seasons have been so bad that many fans decided to stop watching the show altogether and the viewership has been decreasing a lot. When the show premiered, the first episode received 2.07 million views upon its broadcast, "Antiqued Off" from season 3 had 1.22 million viewers, and the season 6 episode, "Time Trap" had 310,000 viewers upon premiere, showing how less and less people are willing to watch the show. It even disrespects its audience and cannot handle any criticism at all as shown with The Taunting Hour. The Big City Greens episode Boss Life, keep in mind, taught its moral on how to handle criticism why better than how The Loud House would.

 * 50) *Flip This Flip
 * 51) *Haunted House Call

 * 65) *Cheer Pressure
 * 66) *Stroke of Luck
 * 67) *Crown and Dirty
 * 68) *The Orchid Grief (depending on your view)
 * 69) *Forks and Knives Out
 * 70) The relationship between Lincoln and Lori is still cute.
 * 71) Some characters are still likable like:
 * 72) Lori Loud
 * 73) Bobby Santiago
 * 74) Leni Loud (before season 5)
 * 75) Ronnie Anne Santiago
 * 76) Sam Sharp
 * 77) Luna Loud
 * 78) Luan Loud
 * 79) Lincoln Loud (as of season 6, depending on your view)
 * 80) *Even Lincoln (despite becoming more selfish in seasons 4 & 5) has done plenty of selfless acts like telling the class all of the good things Mr. Bolhofner has done at the end of "Rumor Has It" and depending on your view, he went back to his original personality as of season 6.
 * 81) Clyde McBribe (despite his flanderization by season 5)
 * 82) Lucy Loud (as of season 6)
 * 83) Lana Loud
 * 84) Lola Loud (depending your view)
 * 85) Lisa Loud

 * 89) Mr. Grouse
 * 90) Pop Pop
 * 91) Scoots

 * 94) Lincoln's Friends (despite their flanderization by season 5)
 * 95) Lucy's friends
 * 96) The McBride parents
 * 97) Benny
 * 98) The Casagrandes (expect Sergio)
 * 99) Even some of the flanderized characters (such as Leni, Lynn Jr., Lincoln, Lucy, Lily, the Loud parents, Chandler, Mr. Bolhofner, Clyde, Zach, Rusty, Liam, and Stella) occasionally retain their original personalities.
 * 100) Clyde also stopped his nosebleed on Lori.
 * 101) The animation, while restricted, is still decently well done, thanks to being produced by the same company who was also known for producing the final seasons of Thomas and Friends: Jam Filled Entertainment.
 * 102) The fourth season is currently the least bad, as it still has some of the charms of the first three seasons and most of the characters (aside from Lincoln and Lucy) aren't as flanderized, though that isn't saying much due to the aforementioned flaws.
 * 103) *Speaking of which, Lynn Jr. massively improved in season 4 as well as the Netflix-exclusive movie, but turned unlikable again in most episodes of season 5, until season 6 (depending on your view).
 * 104) *In addition, the season was okay for its first few episodes, especially The Casagrandes miniseries. It wasn't until "A Grave Mistake" that the seasonal rot became noticeable.
 * 105) *In addition, Season 6 is a bit of an improvement over Season 5, as it currently has more good episodes, Lincoln and Lucy went back to their original personalities (though, the former depends on your view) and some other great aspects like Leni now being able to drive Vanzilla. However, there are still numerous flaws in this season.
 * 106) Depending on your point of view, season 5 had a unique and clever idea of the characters aging up one year despite the poor execution. Typically in cartoons, characters would never age up, regardless of how long it's been running.
 * 107) *In addition, it was also a good idea to have the characters move up a grade as opposed to cartoons where when they move up a grade, they would rarely age up a year.
 * 108) The title cards in season 5 have a new design with the three lower boxes being themed around the episode, which makes them more unique from each other.
 * 109) After "Silence of the Luans", Lily has finally stopped her dirty diaper running gag, as she finally got potty-trained. She is also now in preschool. She also speaks full sentences and also wears clothes now.
 * 110) While most of the jokes have become stale, some of the jokes are still good such as Lincoln angrily screaming in Vanzilla in Season's Cheatings and eventually he doesn't have the time, so, he just yells out the window, annoying Mr. Grouse.
 * 111) Lincoln has been getting more focus in season 5 as he didn't have a lot of focus in season 4.
 * 112) The voice acting is still great as usual, despite some of the voices still being hammy and high-pitched.

Reception
While the first two seasons received mainly positive reviews, with the third season gaining mixed-to-positive reception, the fourth season onwards has been met with mainly mixed-to-panned reviews from critics, audiences, and even Loud House fans alike.

Since the show continues to "jump the shark" with the overuse of cartoony elements, some decided to quit watching the show (such as YouTuber Yoshi Player, who reviewed the first four seasons of the show).

However, the fourth season onward has been received in a mainly mixed-to-positive way from The Loud House Wiki, the primary hangout of the fandom, though the fifth season was more polarizing, praised by the vehement portion of the fandom, while receiving mixed-to-panned reception from everyone else. Some on the wiki defended Season 4 and 6 to an extent, but still trashed Season 5.

These seasons were so hated, that a bunch of users completely invaded its IMDb page in late 2021, spamming 1-star reviews on both the show itself and almost every single episode from this era. At one point, the majority of episodes from season 5 were rated below the 4/10 mark until IMDb took as much action as they could by balancing out the score for each episode affected by the invasion by early 2022, though the episodes still remain below the 6/10 mark due to the "weighted average" metric.

In January 2022, the aforementioned Yoshi Player apologized on Twitter and YouTube for his over-the-top reactions to episodes from this era, specifically the episode Schooled!, and he felt like as he has created a hate-base for both himself and this era.

Trivia

 * Even though Lily wears clothes now and Lori is in college, the theme song remains unchanged, so it still shows Lori physically at home and Lily is still in her previous design. In The Loud House Movie, Lori is at home and Lily is in her previous design from the first 4 seasons. This is also the same with Season 4, and that is the season where the animation got changed and is now slightly thinner.
 * This is because the movie takes place between seasons 4 and 5.
 * As of Season 5 onward:
 * The title cards have a new design with the three lower boxes being themed around the episode.
 * Lori has moved out from Royal Woods to attend college. She is now visiting home once in a while while retired from being the oldest in the house.
 * Leni is now the new oldest in the house since her ex-roommate Lori is moving out to attend college. She is also now in 12th grade. She later successfully got her driver's license and is now to drive Vanzilla completely after she passed her driving test as of season 6 episode "Driver's Dread".
 * Luna is now in eleventh grade.
 * Luan is now in tenth grade.
 * Lynn is now in eighth grade
 * Lincoln is now in middle school and has special talents from his magic shows and the Action News.
 * Lucy is now in fourth grade.
 * Lana and Lola are now in second grade. They would later become 7 years old as of "Strife of the Party".
 * Lisa is now in first grade.
 * Lily is now potty-trained and is now in preschool. She also now speaks full sentences and no longer wears diapers. It also ends her dirty diaper running gags.
 * Clyde, Zach, Rusty, Stella, and Liam are now in middle school too, but in a different class from Lincoln Principal Ramirez doesn't work out for him to assign him to Mrs. Salter's class with his friends and there's no room left.
 * The show stands as the forth longest running nicktoon next to SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, and Rugrats.
 * Starting in Season 5 as the change for the Loud characters' roles:
 * Lincoln is always the main protagonist.
 * Leni is now the deuteragonist (replacement for Lori).
 * Clyde is still the tritagonist.
 * Lori is now one of the main characters.
 * Zach, Rusty, Stella, and Liam are now the main characters.
 * Like the first three seasons, the titles of episodes are mostly puns on lines that relate to the episode.
 * Once this page was no longer a sandbox, this page caused conspiracy from people from the fanbase, as they wanted it to be deleted to give it a chance because they didn't know when the season would improve or not. At one point, this page was deleted, speculated because of major backlash from several members of the fanbase. That time, they celebrated this page's deletion (though it was later re-added here much to more conspiracy again). The actual reason for the page's deletion is because "This page doesn't include a single source nor any mention of the reception, which obliterates any credibility this page has."
 * This series has a movie named The Loud House Movie for Netflix, and it was released on August 20, 2021, and mostly received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Although many people, including fans of this show, consider it to be an improvement over Seasons 4 and 5, most likely since the movie was made before the fifth season, though released during that season. Plus, there is also another TV movie called A Loud House Christmas for Nickelodeon and Paramount+. It was released on November 26, 2021, and received a bunch of negative reviews from critics and some fans of the series. On the other hand, it received positive reviews from fans of the series.
 * Season 5 is the season to play the standard title card music (named Pop Punk) the least, as it has only played five times in the season, in the episodes "No Buss No Fuss", "Much Ado About Noshing", "Animal House", "Lori Days" and "For Sale by Loner".
 * While most people thought that aging up the characters and moving up the grade was a good idea, it has made some fans not want it to happen. One such infamous example is Jake Stone, who made a petition to stop the characters from aging up a year and he later changed it.
 * Jahzir Bruno (who played live-action Clyde McBride in A Loud House Christmas) is confirmed to be Clyde McBride's new voice actor for Season 6 after Andre Robinson's voice deepens and hits puberty.
 * Some people have believed that Lincoln is unlucky, although he is not unlucky because he's just a butt-monkey and an accident-prone which the writers made a copy from SpongeBob SquarePants and Gumball Watterson. It has been mistaken for an unlucky character because of the episode "No Such Luck", Lincoln said he doesn't have bad luck at all.
