User blog:AustinDR/Too Much Loud House?

While I love the show (even though I do bring some of the flaws of the show), do you ever get the feeling that maybe, Nickelodeon often airs too much Loud House? Now, of course, some of you might accuse me of hating the show. I don't hate the show at all; it's far from a perfect show, and the writers often make ideas that seemed pretty stupid at the time, and the episodes can often be too formulaic with little surprises, the Loud House is still an enjoyable show. I just don't like certain aspects of the show. However, I am somewhat fearful that the show airs too frequently much like how SpongeBob was guilty of the same thing. For instance, at around 4 to 5 PM where I live, Nick would air about five episodes of the show (following SpongeBob, of course). Now, while I do love re-watching old episodes to reflect on what I liked or disliked about that episode, I also feel that it's done too frequently. Yes, I get that Nickelodeon gets high ratings from the show...but I feel that relying on the Loud House for continued success isn't a good thing. Just this month, Welcome to the Wayne premiered on Nickelodeon. I really enjoyed the show as I felt that it was giving Nick more variety, but by the time I'm writing this, there are no new announcements for any new episode of the show. Currently, the show still has 5 episodes. Worse still, Nickelodeon hardly shows the five episodes in reruns. It would seem as though Nickelodeon had already given up on that show. It's a shame, really.

To be frank, I am kind of surprised that the Loud House had lasted this long. Usually whenever Nickelodeon has a new show on their hands, they would immediately cancel or shorten the length of the series if it didn't prove to be a ratings success. Remember how Nick advertised the stuffing out of El Tigre? If you never heard of that show, there's good reason for it. The Nickelodeon executives quickly buried that show as they did with other shows like Catscratch, or The X's. The fact that the LH hadn't been cancelled already or given a short run is practically a miracle. But...I feel that the show should most likely end after season 3. Don't get me wrong, while I love the show, I don't want it to air for 5 or even 9 years. Many shows lose that initial spark that made them good in the first place, so if anything, I am really hoping that the show ends by going out with a bang than a whimper. Maybe with Season 3, or even a season 4 or 5. Just no more than 10+ seasons.

Overall, that's how I feel about the matter. I get the sense that Nickelodeon heavily relies on the Loud House for continued success which will hurt them in the long run.
