Evidently, no one has made a thread for this, so I guess I'll move all discussion on it here.

Well, A Loud House Christmas was a huge hit for Nickelodeon, so they saw it as a course worth pursuing.

I watched the new episode today.

"Heart and Soul" was pretty good.

After seeing Liam launch himself off a trebuchet into a hay bale, Lincoln and Clyde decide to try to beat it by launching through the (very small) bedroom window. Meanwhile, Rita hammers on a pot to call on the other kids to prepare for school. Noticing that some of them were taking too long to come down, she asks her husband if they went to bed on time. "You bet your bippy I did," he says. In reality, he let them stay up to watch more episodes of Vampires of Melancholia, belying the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In reference. He couldn't help it: they were batting their eyes. They were also tasked to fill a donation box. They clearly didn't do that either. Lisa and Lucy feel guilty, but the twins want to let it play out so that Lynn Sr. could make lunch.

Over at The Burnt Bean (which is now in Royal Woods instead of Hazeltucky), Luna does a gig. Unfortunately, nobody even acknowledges her. By contrast, the crowd goes wild when a ClikClok (hey, The Ghost and Molly McGee used that name) singer, Kiki Carlyle, performs at the cafe after getting lost on the way to Detroit (how?). Luna is dispirited at the sight.

After school, Lincoln and Clyde test their slingshot with Tanya the mannequin, which gets beheaded - they consider it a success. Rita confronts Lynn Sr. on the kids falling asleep in class. This causes another argument, and the kids have to deal with it. They note that their arguments go in stages: after the argument starts, Rita vents to her sister while Lynn Sr. cleans the fridge and mutters to himself about it. Then he would see Rita blow her bangs out of her face while writing an article for the paper. He would make up an excuse to go out, and bring home her favorite cannoli, wherein she will talk with her mouth full and invite him to sit. Sure enough, that happens.

Luna goes on to try and sing her song and record it on ClikClok but was interrupted by Lincoln being launched from the slingshot and ending up in her room somehow. The parachute deploys and covers her. Lynn Sr. goes out as planned, however, the boys come into the house and tell Rita about their plan to do their stunt, saying that he already let them, "but don't tell Mom, or she'll get mad". Pissed off, she storms off to her room. Meanwhile, Lisa encounters her robot Todd in Luna's room blocking her, so she threatens to turn him into a blender. Luna explains that she's trying to keep the boys away to focus on her ClikClok. Lisa tells her about its algorithm. Virality on the platform is optimized for what the audience likes: felines, trendy clothes, pratfalls, and adorable babies. Meanwhile, Rita's taking out every possible memorabilia of Lynn Sr.

The boys come by, but Luna stops them. Clyde says they're bored, so she tells them to skedaddle to the yard, calling them "immature sweaty boys" (Lincoln takes offense to the "sweaty" part). Then she directs Todd to pan the camera to show the various things for ClikClok. She tries to get Cliff, but he lashes out, so she decides to leave him out. In the yard, Lincoln realizes that they can beat Liam by appearing on ClikClok.

Lynn Sr. comes home with the cannoli, only to see the mementos on the porch. This only escalates the quarrel further. Meanwhile, the shoot goes quite well, but unknown to Luna, the boys videobomb the final take by climbing up a ladder to her window and dancing a bit, only for it to fall over with them on it. Sure enough, the video goes viral. Todd tells her not to look at the comments, but she does and she finds the boys videobombing her.

Downstairs, Rita complains about being the "bad cop". Lynn Sr. shows her an "I Heart Mow" cup. It snaps and shatters. Then they argue about rubbing each other's necks, so the girls have to fix it. The boys brag to Liam about going viral, even more so than Kiki Carlyle, only for Luna to appear. They say they didn't mean it. Of course, that was a lie, so Clyde flees the scene. Luna tells Lincoln off for not leaving her alone. She tells him that he's been doing that since he was a little kid. So we get a flashback to Lincoln and Luna as younger kids. He wants to beat Liam at show and tell, so he pleads with Luna to teach him a piano piece. She teaches him the Hoagy Carmichael and Frank Loesser tune "Heart and Soul". She says it's different now because she's a "serious musician". He says sorry and thanks her for teaching him and having fun doing so, which made her realize that she's lost her way.

That night, the girls get Rita and Lynn Sr. to the couch. Rita is brought there when Lucy attempts a seance. Meanwhile, Lisa manipulates the TV to show Operation Dessert Storm after the he canceled the subscription for Food Network due to the cable company moving it to the premium tier. Once on the couch, the twins massage their necks. Once they get it going, their hands take over, and he apologizes before heading out. Five minutes later, he returns with the cannoli and she invites him to sit with her. Later, Lincoln begins to teach Lily to play the piano. Luna comes by and joins him, and admits that he was right about music needing to be fun. Sure enough, we end with a rendition of "Heart and Soul" by the family.

It was wonderful. There was a very nice balance of comedy and drama. Lincoln and Clyde's stunt attempts were pretty funny, while Luna's ClikClok endeavor and Rita and Lynn Sr.'s argument were pretty great. Each plot went through and intersected each other and paced quite well right up to the end. The flashbacks were the highlight of the episode and showed how much Lincoln and Luna have history together, as well as demonstrating the irony in his lack of seriousness causing her to actually genuinely reevaluate her goals. I presume that wasn't really Lincoln's intent, but it made for some profound viewing.

Some personal nitpicks would be stuff like Todd. I think he could have been used a bit less, specifically during the filming of Luna's ClikClok. They should have replaced him in that scene with Luan, which would have made it more hilarious, to be honest. I also felt that the scene where Lucy shoos away Rita for a seance could have done without the flickering lights. I think it's a tad excessive for all that. I don't know.

All in all, this was a pretty fun episode, though. I would give it a 9/10. It's a nice episode to sit back and watch.

I watched the new episode yesterday.

"No Louds Allowed" was an alright episode.

Lincoln's been overwhelmed with his sisters getting into his room too much, after Lynn, Leni, Lisa, and Lana keep putting all their things in his room. He's been suffering from a plutonium orb, hybrid snapping snake-turtles, Lynn's Pedal-a-ton class, and Leni's clothes, so he calls a family meeting (much to his parents' surprise - and dismay because of Lily's long sleep strike). That's only because he doesn't have a roommate, but Clyde comes and says he's keeping his stuff there...? Anyway, he makes up a new rule barring his sisters from his room, but Lynn Sr. refuses because they need it, so he takes over. After he tells Rita to put her in a stroller, he attempts a joke about a priest, a rabbi, and a minister, but no one wants to hear it. He tries to blow the whistle Lincoln took from him, and it tweets just after Lily fell asleep.

Later, Clincoln McLoud bring up their sisters' excess stuff to the attic; Lana's snapping turtles got out in the process. Downstairs, Rita bounces Lily up and down while Lynn Sr. tries (and fails) to use his voice in a soothing tone. Back up, they move the last of the stuff, and they find all sorts of 80s items, like a rotary phone that Linc pretends to use to order something like a movie, only for the cord to reach its limit with utterly hilarious consequences. Clyde finds an old TV and a mini fridge, while Linc tries the record player, and they decide to make the attic their new hangout. Meanwhile, Lynn Sr. does a fine Sir David Attenborough impression, which works. Alas, a turtle strikes. It bites the yoga ball Rita was using to bounce, and it deflates.

Luna and Leni walk upstairs and hear music in the attic and find that the boys have created a little club (they threw out the stuff into the yard to fit). Pretty rad. They try to get in, but the boys block them with an orange rope, because they're not on the list. Soon Lucy, Lisa, Lana, Lynn, and Lynn Sr. all find out, but they're also blocked. The next night, they find no one waiting on the line. They find out Luna and Leni had made their own club in the backyard that blew up, so they attempt to get in (and Clyde hits on an older woman in the process, what the hell?). Lucy and Lisa were turned away, so no points for guessing. Aside from a hilarious gaffe with Leni's guest list, this was retaliation. They rub it in their faces with Kiki Carlyle's ClikClok song, which was pretty fun. Back inside, the parents got Lily to go back to sleep. She wakes up again. Lincoln and Clyde think up another plan. They beg. It doesn't work. So Leni declares that she'll post their pathetic faces online. They pose. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi has fallen off, so all the club goers flee. Leni accuses the boys. Of course, Lincoln doesn't know how (I mean, look at him) and the accusations against Clyde were because he wears glasses (how stereotypical - he takes it off). The four hear something from the basement. Yes, it's Lucy and Lisa's. Apparently, they made some sort of club where they only accept people from another time or another dimension. As in actual people from another time and actual beings from another dimension.

You know, we seriously don't need this. This isn't Rick and Morty; can't they show some self-restraint with these characters?

Anyway, they turned away Lynn and Lana for that reason. The others demand to be let in because of the Wi-Fi, but that was because of the plutonium. It's powering a jukebox, which a guy in colonial costume uses to play Huey Lewis and the News's "Hip to Be Square". They try to get in, but unfortunately, the Netherbeast is serving security. Yeah, this is way too much for me, man.

Meanwhile, the parents decide (per Lynn Sr.'s idea) to go for a drive in Vanzilla, so that the gentle rocking motion of the van can help Lily fall asleep. Unfortunately, they forgot to actually bring Lily in order to actually try it.

Back home, the four youths plot to steal the plutonium orb in order to take out the party (and for Leni to get some free drinks in the process). They distract the Netherbeast with bubbles before Luna and Clyde get everyone dancing. Yes, I am literally writing this with my mouth open. Meanwhile, Lincoln takes the plutonium orb, but he spots one of the turtles and drops it, causing the power to go off. Now, I'm not a scientist, but this is just plain ridiculous. Anyway, the six kids have had enough of all this exclusivity shit. Or at least they would have when they hear something from the garage.

Back on the road (now with Lily in tow), Lynn Sr. suggests that Rita sing a lullaby for Lily. Unfortunately, Lynn Sr. was actually driving when it makes him fall asleep, and they narrowly avoid hitting a telephone pole. At the garage, Lana and Lynn have their own club, with Lynn and her Pedal-a-ton class driving the power. Well, that and legendary skateboarder and five-time Kids' Choice Awards winner Tony Hawk. Somehow. How did they even convince him to go all the way there do all that menial labor? We go back to Vanzilla, and Rita's driving this time. She suggests that Lynn Sr. tell the story of how he made the "Lynn-chilada". So he tells a story of what happened at Lynn's Table's opening night. It also makes the driver fall asleep and they narrowly avoid hitting some trees. Wow. Back home, there's a brief blame game, then Linc tries to break in. Lana pelts him with a chicken wing. He retaliates, and soon enough, the kids get into a food fight that gets the Hawk hit by guacamole. He orders a family meeting. I don't think he has the authority, but he says that they shouldn't act crazy. Lincoln decides that their family was already like an exclusive club. Of course that's not what Tony was saying precisely, but if it gets them to stop...

The parents get home and see lights at Lincoln's room and sense Lily's asleep. But then Tony Hawk has to ruin everything by knocking on the van, thinking they're his ride out, which wakes Lily up. So they force him to make her sleep.

It was an OK episode. You can sense how cramped the Loud House is and the basic realities of dealing with the siblings. I feel that there were some things that could have gone better, though. The club plotline felt rather disjointed. It falls apart midway with Lisa and Lucy, which went way too overboard with the spooky and the time travel (but the Huey Lewis bit killed me, I'll give them that). The stuff about Lana breeding hissing turtles was also stretching it. Again, I don't know how Tony Hawk could have get involved in all this (again, the KCA bit was pretty good), and I think there were a few too many errors for the serious watcher like me. Also, I do feel Clyde was rather superfluous.

On the other hand, Leni and Luna still rock. They got plenty of chemistry that makes them fun to watch, and paired with Clincoln McLoud, they bring up the dynamics. Also, kudos to Annaka Fourneret and Tony Hawk for stealing the show. I preferred the B-plot of Lynn Sr. and Rita trying to get Lily to sleep. It was a hell of a lot more relatable for the adults while simultaneously full of hilarious moments. It actually felt a lot more focused and a lot more genuine. And of course, the ending with Tony Hawk getting thrown into the babysitter role was absolutely hilarious. Sure, punishing a celebrity might be unlikely, but it's a hell of a lot more enjoyable than the Netherbeast, that's for sure. Also, more fun musical bits, from Haddaway to Huey Lewis, to a hilarious rehash of "Dance with Your Hands", they've clearly shot the moon with this show with its production values and music rights. Writing could still be improved.

All in all, a pretty decent episode, though the writers should tone down some of the fantasy shit, and maybe make it flow a little better. I mean, writing for kids doesn't excuse sloppiness. It certainly helps to stay in one lane.

I give this episode an 8/10. There should be more consideration for polishing with a franchise inspired by basic slice-of-life.

I watched the new episode today.

"The Princess and the Everlasting Emerald: A Royal Woods Fairytale - Part 1" was a pretty fun episode.

The framing story involves Lincoln reading a bedtime story to Lily. That was a bold approach. After Wake Up Moon (must be a parody) and Who Needs to Fart? (ew), Lincoln gets a much larger, meta storybook that starts the episode.

One day, Charlie tells Lincoln that she and her family are moving back to Tennessee tomorrow. Wanting to get her something to remember him by, he and Clyde find some sort of giant emerald ring (almost certainly a ring pop) at Flip's. Unfortunately, he's charging $57,000; he's been having financial troubles from inflation. He offers the emerald in exchange for Lincoln's help and parents (but not Clyde; he's going birdwatching).

It's Charity Week, where the Louds do stuff for the community. Lynn Sr. is planning to take Lynn to teach people baseball. Unfortunately, she's going to a soccer tournament. He asks Luan, then Luna to come with him, but they got gigs (and he made the faux pas of telling them they're #1 in front of the other sister). Lily and Lola are also unavailable. He laments about how he fought a raccoon to get a costume for nothing and that everyone was growing up, so Rita assures him. Lincoln comes in and enthusiastically asks for Lynn Sr.'s help. Then he reveals Flip's presence to them. He's biting a wax apple because he's a buffoon, as we know too well. And he's here for a wife. Or rather, Rita and the kids to pass off as his own.

Linc and Flip host a presentation introducing his more successful brother Walter. He's been borrowing money from him, but he couldn't tell him the real reason why or else he'd demolish Flip's Food 'n' Fuel. So he's been claiming that the Louds were his family. Or rather, Rita and five of the kids, because eleven? Even Flip says having that many kids is irresponsible. Anyway, Walter is coming, and they needed to keep up the ruse or else he could lose his store. Lynn Sr.'s in, but Rita has to be assured that it'll be just for the one night. Unfortunately, he takes Leni, Lucy, Lana, and Lisa for Lisa, Luan, Lola, and Leni, respectively. And he doesn't want Lynn Sr. in either, so he tries to shove him into the basement. Lynn Sr. begs Lincoln to stop him when he comes by. In perhaps one of the top 10 anime betrayals of history, Lincoln tickles his father and he falls down the flight of stairs. The door is locked just as Walter arrives.

Flip introduces the Louds to him, with the girls being disguised. Lincoln heads to the kitchen just as the other siblings come home from their events, and he makes them go down to the basement, claiming that their Dad approved of it. Obviously false. Then he proceeds into a pretty egotistic rant. He's jealous of Flip usurping his role as the dinner begins. Soon he sneaks out. The other girls try to pull him back in, but he distracts them and escapes. He then heads to the garage to get a costume and is attacked by a raccoon. Upstairs, he claims Lucy was class clown and that Rita had extra thumbs that he had surgically removed. Lincoln tries to get Walter out only for Lynn Sr. to arrive dressed in a blond wig and lederhosen. Walter demands to know who that man is.

He passes himself off as Kristoff Bollschwarzenegger German Shepherd von Trapp (try saying that five times fast); Kristoff Boll for short. Lincoln claims he's their new handyman; he also claims to be a movie star and a brain surgeon. Linc and Flip try to get him out, but he persists in trying to stay. Downstairs, the girls start fraying at the nerves from starvation as the others eat Lynn Sr.'s lava cake, causing them to go berserk. Walter is about to leave. Unfortunately, Lynn Sr. and Flip's one-upping of flattery ends up causing Walter to decide to stay another day, much to everyone's dismay. Lola promptly channels John Rambo. Yeah. Walter expresses his disillusionment at his work. And he affirms his decision to stay another day, and he asks Lynn Sr. to fix the toilet.

Meanwhile, Charlie has been calling Linc. When he answers and asks what time her bus to Tennessee leaves, she says there was a change in plans. She's leaving Michigan tonight. He plans to meet up with her at the bus station. Of course, that's for next week.

This episode was pretty great. It was nice to see them doing a two-parter for this series. So the waiting game begins. As for this entry, it was pretty fun. There were plenty of great jokes and hilarious character interactions, like with Lynn Sr. and Flip. And speaking of, Flip does quite well here. The writers knew how to make him a lovable rogue. That's the kind of writing the main show ought to look up to. Combined with Kevin Chamberlin's performance, and I'd say it has elevated the character. Of course, Brian Stepanek is the show stealer, and Stephen Tobolowsky gives it his best. Nice to see him in the franchise again after so long.

The jokes poking fun at the idea of the Louds with eleven kids really sold it. It was actually pretty funny. And the other siblings were great in this episode being split up. Since this is a two-parter, pacing is very solid, and there's plenty of time to breathe even more than usual, considering that there is still more to come. But even then, everyone gets their own screentime, showcasing their balance.

If there is a complaint, it's that there's a tad too much toilet humor. It wasn't that egregious, but I think they could have toned it down a bit at the beginning. Otherwise, this was a pretty good.

On its own, I give it a 9/10.

I watched the new episode today.

"The Princess and the Everlasting Emerald: A Royal Woods Fairytale - Part 2" was OK, but it falters somewhat compared to the previous episode.

This is a two-parter, so we get a recap of the story. With Flip's brother staying another day, Lincoln calls Clyde to find a way to keep Charlie's bus from leaving for Tennessee. He proceeds to take out three of the bus's wheels. In the basement, Lola begins to assert her dominance. As a new day dawns, Flip and the Louds are hoping he'd just leave, but Walter wants to do all the things Flip's been telling him about, starting from brunch (which is tasty despite his lack of knowledge, to the other kids' despair). Then they do comedy (Lucy) and science (Leni), with the latter making Walter kind of suspicious. He asks Clyde to continue stalling, doing so by dressing as a bus inspector just as they fit new tires. Flip then decides on serenading. Ironically, he does quite well with the banjo, and Rita and the other kids get in on the fun (to Lynn Sr.'s irritation). Meanwhile, the kids in the basement continue to fall with Luan's gingerbread house.

Walter prepares to leave. He asks for a photo to remember his time with the Louds, so Flip commands Lynn Sr. to take the picture (with a brief fight where he says the Louds will play charades without him). But just before he leaves, Flip fucks it yet again. He asks Walter to stay and play charades, with Lynn Sr. trying to one-up him and Rita having had enough of his shit, so Flip orders Lynn Sr. to get the raccoon. At the bus station, Clyde interrogates the passengers and crew. Crazy. Lynn Sr. is attacked by the raccoon again, and when he breaks out of it, he comes back to see his family actually having fun, so he snaps and exposes Flip's lies (to Leni's confusion). Walter promptly demands that Flip pay him back. He wants it by sundown (because when he said midnight, Flip confused him – Leni makes sure to remind him) or else he'll bulldoze Flip's Food 'n' Fuel. Outside, Lynn Sr. apologizes for being jealous of how Flip had fun with the Louds. Flip counters that he messed up because he liked having an actual family so much he didn't want it to end. Then Lincoln says he was responsible because he was doing it to get the emerald for Charlie. They soon get an idea for him.

They decide to stage the Loud-a-palooza, a talent show they thought up, to raise the money Walter is skeptical about it, calling them talentless, but only because he hasn't met the real Louds. Sure enough, say it and the others come. The girls in the basement snap out of it and somehow manage to get back up for this. Um, OK? And Lori comes by to join in as well, which is quite nice. And then Liam comes in with his horse Lightning Bolt. A bit much, but I'll bite. Soon, they somehow got Loud-a-palooza set up quite quickly, with the goal of raising $57,000 dollars, while Clyde keeps the bus passengers searching their luggage. The Louds do a pretty impressive musical number promoting Flip's. They raise money with $1,000 pony rides, having Lana eat bugs, a dunk tank, a golf challenge, Luan and Lucy's bizarre comedy routine, and a car wash.

The final tally is $56,998. Apparently, they can't even scrounge up two dollars. Walter comes by with a bulldozer to destroy the place. At the bus station, one of the crew members finally realizes that Clyde's not any sort of inspector at all; he's just a kid (with a "just a kid" badge, for some strange reason). Linc asks the crowd for two dollars, to no avail (they gave all they had), but Flip runs to get the first two dollars he made: a $2 bill he framed on the wall, and gives it to the Louds. Walter gets pissed off and Lana sprays him. Flip gives Lincoln the emerald only to find out that Clyde was busted and that Charlie's bus is leaving. He sets off on Lightning Bolt (but not without a helmet) and catches her bus. She steps off and he gives her the emerald ring. Of course, he does it like it's a proposal (the second time this week!) and she gives him a kiss on the cheek before the gets back on the bus.

Honestly, this was also pretty good. It was fun seeing everyone get together for Flip. I also liked stuff like the Loud-a-palooza and how everyone had plenty of fun. Liam and Lori's appearances were quite funny. That and Lincoln riding a horse were perhaps highlights of the episode. They're really shooting the money. The resolution to the episode felt a bit off to me, though. They kinda made Walter rather cartoonishly villainous after the reveal, after we spent time getting to know him. It just doesn't feel right to me. We're talking about Flip. For much of the franchise, he's pretty much an asshole. And the way they transitioned it into the conflict felt rather forced too much. I'd prefer if they at least tried to have the Phillipini brothers reconcile to a certain extent. It would have been a lot more compelling, especially since the animated series used to be good at this. At least it was a hell of a lot better than "Save Royal Woods!". Who ever thought a sixth Great Lake was a good idea for a story?

Also, I thought the subplot with Luna, Luan, Lynn, and Lola got drawn out for too long. I mean, why didn't they just climb out the window like their dad? It would have made both a lot more sense and an opportunity for confrontation. The bus inspector thing was pretty ridiculous. Maybe they should have done some other gags. And maybe Todd should have been an attraction at the Loud-a-palooza. I will say, though, that the actors did all they can with the script. The adults, in fact, stole the show. Their plot was honestly quite impeccably written.

I give this episode an 8/10, with the whole story getting an average of 8.5/10. A veritable two-parter for this live-action version.

I do hope Charlie becomes a thing in the cartoon series, and that her moving away was a ploy to do just that. That way we can finally have a definitive love interest for Lincoln and end the constant dead ends and false leads.

Also starting to think that they're using the 22-minute nature of the Really Loud House to subliminally introduce concepts without needing to cram or re-tread things in the typically 11-minute Loud House. Because Charlie's kind of like a mix between Cristina, Ronnie Anne, Paige, and Stella when you think about it.

Cristina - Crush that got weirded out via video and circumstance. Unlike her though, Charlie saw and got past that.

Ronnie Anne - Dark colored girl with romantic feelings for Lincoln that eventually moved away. Except the roles are reversed and the feelings are actually reciprocated. Their relationship also started off more amicably than Lincoln and Ronnie's.

Paige - Shared interest and the source of Lincoln's affection. Unlike her, Charlie actually reappears and reciprocated.

Stella - New girl that started out as a friend and became a romantic option, complete with an episode revolving around that. Unlike Stella though, Charlie was not a Red Herring and actually reciprocated Lincoln's feelings.

Really, Charlie seems like an attempt to do a love interest for Lincoln right. Like how Yes Man was Cereal Offender done right.

I'd rather Nick keep the shows separate and unrelated to each other in all but in name, as they're supposed to exist in their own little universes. Cartoon logic doesn't bleed well into real life. Also, in the case of Ronnie Anne, both her and Lincoln are close friends and a borderline couple whenever the two are on the screen together; given how An Udder Mess, Forks and Knives Out, and Prankiversary played.
