Review of "The
Casagrandes"

This is an animated show about a Hispanic family that has to live with their extended family. It's a spin-off from the animated hit show "The Loud House."
It's pretty much your typical silly kids' show from what I could tell. Kids of all ages should love it.
It's not really my sort of show, and it's
definitely aimed at kids. Adults would probably find
it dull or too silly.

BURBANK, Calif.–Sept.
4, 2019–A new home in the city holds big
adventures, laughs and love around every corner in
Nickelodeon’s new original animated series The
Casagrandes, premiering Monday, Oct. 14, at 1:30 p.m.
(ET/PT). A spinoff of Nick’s animated hit The Loud
House, The Casagrandes tells the story of 11-year-old
Ronnie Anne who moves to the city with her mom and older
brother to live with their big, loving family, the
Casagrandes. Following its premiere, the series moves to its
regular timeslot on Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. (ET/PT)
beginning Saturday, Oct. 19, on Nickelodeon.
Starring Izabella Alvarez (Westworld)
as 11-year-old Ronnie Annie, Carlos PenaVega (Big Time
Rush) as her brother Bobby and Sumalee Montano (Nashville)
as her mom Maria, the series showcases the culture, humor,
and love that’s part of growing up in a multigenerational
Mexican-American family. After moving in with their
grandparents in Great Lakes City, Ronnie Anne adjusts to her
new life living under one roof and over the family-run
mercado (local market), which is a gathering place for
everyone in the neighborhood.
Alvarez, PenaVega and Montano
bring these characters to life, alongside: Carlos Alazraqui
(The Fairly OddParents) as Carlos, “Tio;” Roxana
Ortega (The League) as Frida, “Tia;” Alexa PenaVega
(Spy Kids) as Carlota; Jared Kozak (Born this
Way) as CJ; Alex Cazares (The Boss Baby: Back in
Business) as Carl; Ruben Garfias (East Los High)
as Hector, “Abuelo;” and Sonia Manzano (Sesame Street)
as Rosa, “Abuela.” Additionally, Eugenio Derbez (Dora
and the Lost City of Gold) gives voice to Dr. Santiago,
a physician living and working in Peru, who is Ronnie Anne
and Bobby’s father.
Ronnie Anne’s new apartment
building holds new friends and neighbors, including: Ken
Jeong (Dr. Ken) as Stanley Chang; Melissa Joan Hart
(Sabrina the Teenage Witch) as Becca Chang; Leah
Mei Gold (Legion) as 12-year-old Sid Chang, Ronnie
Anne’s new friend; and Lexi Sexton as Adelaide Chang,
Sid’s 6-year-old little sister.
In the first episode, “Going
Overboard,” Ronnie Anne finds out her Tio Carlos was a
famous skateboarder and she begs him to teach her some new
moves. Then, in “Walk Don’t Run,” Ronnie Anne and Sid start
a dog-walking business to save up for a new skateboard in a
plan that quickly gets out of hand.
The Casagrandes
premiere will encore at 3:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
