The Loud House (2002 TV series)

The Loud House is an American adult animated sitcom created by animator and comic illustrator Chris Savino for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. The series revolves around the chaotic everyday life of the 11 Loud siblings, led by teenage older brothers bossy Loki and idiotic Lenny. It is set in a fictional town in Michigan called Royal Woods which is based on Chris Savino's hometown of Royal Oak.

The series was pitched to Cartoon Network in 1999 as part of their then-recently created block Adult Swim. Cartoon Network greenlit the series for production in 2000 after the pilot was completed for Adult Swim. The series was originally supposed to air in 2001 as one of the block's debut shows but the show was held back until 2002 due to behind-the-scenes issues with Cartoon Network. Episodes are produced at Cartoon Network Studios and Williams Street and animated by the Canadian studio Jam Filled Entertainment. The series is based on Savino's own childhood growing up in a large family, and its animation is largely influenced by newspaper comic strips.

Adult Swim officially premiered The Loud House on June 1, 2002 as part of their ''New Summer Lineup Block. The Loud House garnered good ratings and reviews from audiences and critics alike. ''In May 2006, the show's main characters were featured on the front cover of Variety as an example of cultural and ethnic diversity impacting television programs. Ever since, The Loud House is currently the long-running Adult Swim original series.

The series is rated TV-14-DLSV for mild violence, some blood, few character deaths, use of profanity and sexual elements while the uncensored version is rated TV-MA, with TV-PG episodes being rated TV-14.
