With Michael joking about Dijonay needing her wig to be as snatched as her body, Penny’s family owns a Siri-like device named Rochelle who is Black and very unhelpful, and with music from Black artists scattered throughout the show. That aspect of the show is still very present. Growing up and seeing a family that was similar to mine from the jokes to the family dynamic made me feel seen. When I was younger how proudly Black The Proud Family was, was so comforting. I really loved watching these episodes, they were hilarious and gave me a great rush of nostalgia. The show has something for everyone in the family to laugh at and learn from. The show has the same laughs, same family, same lessons just with an additional generation in mind. The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder has the same roots as The Proud Family. They are still the characters we know and love they are just growing up. Penny gets new neighbours, Trudy is getting more into her business, Oscar is still broke and goofy but is learning to listen to Penny, and Suga mama gets buff.

The gang is also not the only thing that has changed.

And she’s not the only one!ĭijonay got bawdy, Michael got fashionable, Zoey got even taller, and LaCienga… got eyebrows. But the show lets us know that despite what Oscar or even Penny herself wants she is growing up fast. Penny sees that she is becoming a woman, and Oscar is having none of it! He spends the majority of the first episode running around fitting her into different army-based outfits in an attempt to stop her from growing up. When she wakes up she’s transformed! Standing at five feet four with the body she got from her Suga Mama. The show starts off with a Disney-esque puberty fairy that visits Penny in her sleep.
