At the core of The Loud House is a simple, brilliant elevator pitch: What if everything that could go wrong in a big family did? The protagonist, 11-year-old Lincoln Loud, serves as the audience's avatar. He is an awkward, white-haired everyman with a passion for comics and video games. He lives in a house with ten sisters, ranging from the moody teenage goth Lucy to the diaper-clad toddler Lily.

Let’s give credit where it’s due. The Loud House made history by featuring a married same-sex couple (Howard and Harold McBride, the parents of Clyde) as a normal, boring, loving part of the background. They didn't make a "Very Special Episode" about it. They just exist. That normalization is more powerful than any after-school special.
