The Casagrandes is a spin-off series and sister show of The Loud House focusing on the Casagrande family and the following citizens that live within Great Lake City. Here's my version of what I would consider to be the true depiction of the Casagrande family and residents. Knowing Nickelodeon and this show's writers, I know they are going to screw this one up like they did with The Loud House. Just letting you know before hand that I don't like both of these shows due to how much of a burnout they were to even watch altogether. Sure they included inclusion, ethnicities and cultures, but it's down to earth humor and attempts at good storytelling were awful. So allow to at least get this show right by offering you the perfect dream cast of this once loved but now complete trainwreck of a show. [WARNING: I may loved the show's back when it premiered but now I think the seasonal burnout has gotten to them. No disrespect to the creators, writers, cast and crew and everything but I think you held this show together in a somewhat respectful manner ]
