Apr 1, 2022 · The Proud Family is a rare gem because it has a black girl as the protagonist (it's so hard to find shows with black characters as the protagonist instead of a side character) and it shows a modern black family with a mom AND a dad.

This is a spoiler-free review of the first two episodes of The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, which premiere on Disney+ on Feb. 23.
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder is the latest revival of a classic show that aired during the early 2000s. And while reboots or sequel series can be hit or miss, Louder and Prouder retains the charm of the original series with its own modern spin, even if that modern take is too in your face at times.
The Disney+ show is a continuation of the Disney Channel series that aired from 2001 to 2005. Like its predecessor, it focuses on Penny Proud, a 14-year-old girl voiced by Kyla Pratt, and her family as they navigate their lives amid modern-age trends like social media, smartphones, influencer culture, and yes, even cryptocurrency.
Fans of the original will be happy to know that all the characters you remember are back for this revival. From the goofball Proud patriarch Oscar (Tommy Davidson) to Penny’s friends like Dijonay (Karen Malina White) to frenemy LaCienega Boulevardez (Alisa Reyes), the DNA of the first show is all here, with performances and writing sticking true to their characters.

Without going too deep into spoilers, this episode focuses on the intriguing premise of Penny becoming an influencer. This episode was easily the stronger of the two, as it provided a lot of thoughtful commentary on social media and the pros and cons of finding fame online. If more episodes of Louder and Prouder are like the second one, it should stand to become a worthy successor to the original series.
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder’s first two episodes show a lot of potential. While the first left me a bit nervous with its heavy-handed attempts at modern-day hipness, the second showed me what this revival can achieve through well-written commentary and how it could more naturally address current trends for teenagers. While it is too early ...
