Die Prouds: Lauter und trauter

This reboot is not it. First starting with the theme song, just no. The plots are horrible and cringy. Like seriously weird. I really tried giving this a chance but it's a no for me. I absolutely adored the original and though I didn't expect a reboot to be like the original, I thought it would have been better. That was the expectation but this is straight up weird.

As someone who has never watched the original, I was going into this blind, and must I say, I was quite disappointed as a whole. While yes, the show has potential, it was just executed TERRIBLY.

The show sets on good topics, but the execution of the topics were just horrible. They show LGBT+ as stereotypical greedy/rude people almost immediately with the characters Michael and (I don't even know if he has a name) but Make-up boy, who reminds me of James Charles. The characters overall are generally dislikable with no real reason to like them. Penny's friends are honestly just fake. They try to make it more modern and use 'modern' slang that I wouldn't even consider modern as not much people even use them anymore. The slang consists of "bae" and other things that even I wouldn't use as of current.

My sister put this on without me even knowing what it was, the amount of cringe I had to endure was insane. I decided to look up the series and found that it had a mainly negative view, which is reasonable and deserved. While I will say that it is okay to watch if you are severally bored, the cringe is just terrible and you'll find yourself wanting to gauge your eyes out more than sit and watch.

So like the first time I saw this reboot, I was pretty impressed by the animation. The theme song sounded good and I kinds vibed with it. But digging more further into the show I saw that it wasn't the same. So first off it's the modern humor, pretty much most of the characters say "slay" "period" "the glowup is real" and tons of cringy words. I like the old show better, for starters it was classic. And it was more funnier than the reboot. I laughed probably more than 2 times when watching that. But the reboot I haven't even laughed once. And for some reason I was kind of surprised to hear Oscar say "Damn" in the very first episode. I mean Penny and her friends are grown up, and of course Sticky wasn't in the show because his voice actor, Orlando Brown, was arrested and I forgot for what, but that's why Sticky wasn't in the show. Now second, it's because of it's corny ass jokes. The jokes in this show aren't even funny, they're old, and they're cringe. You would have to have a humor of a hot cheeto girl to find this funny. Even they're jokes are cringy and they're not even funny at all. So like in the second season in one episode, it featured a joke where a guy said "Ima end this mans whole career" and straight up roasts him and the whole crows goes crazy. Well that was what was going on in the second season. Like it was unfunny and they copy and pasted the animation like 3 times. And it made it even more weird because it didn't have audio playing. Also I was kind of surprised to see that in the second season it's animation improved more. Like it was at 24 fps or above that. But overall, the show is bad, it's cringe, it has corny and the most terrible jokes, and I wouldn't recommend it. I'd rather stick to the old series because it was much more better.

My hopes weren't high to being with, but it was even worse than I thought. Some things are meant to stay put. The proud family is one of them. I couldn't even make it through the first episode. I grew up watching the original, and well it's been off the air for well over 10 years, and now they are trying humor that's nearly 10 years old such as what are those and bae and a few others. Many kids these days never have even seen the original and I would not show this to my children.

First of all, that theme song is awful. They should have kept the original one because it fit the energy of the show. However, I guess that explains the new song because this reboot is just as bad. It's just bland and trying too hard. I love Keke Palmer and was so excited to see she was going to be a part of this, but I do not like her character. Oscar is even worse, Trudy is super dominant, and I can go on and on but I'm disappointed and this is just NO.
