The Loud House Season 1 : Study Muffin/ Homespun (Also some extra thoughts)

The Loud House Nickelodeon  

   Previously, the Loud House had an organ harvester and zombies, you can read that here. Now to the final season 1 episode , 26.

     
    Episode 26 A: Study Muffin 

             Poor Lincoln, he got an F  (Apparently he joined Denzel Crocker's class)  and he worries about turning around his grade so of course he first asks Lisa to help, but she's fully booked. She suggests that he get a community college student to help named Hugh. (He's British)  Meanwhile, Lori spots him  (and oh no! He's hot!) and forgets that Bobby exists. Oh look there's Lana , oh my gosh she likes him too! Hugh makes everyone love him. Even the animals. (What is this episode?)  Lincoln doesn't like this because he is trying to get his tutoring done.  Even Lincoln's dad likes Hugh because England. (what is this episode?)

           

Wait. That's illegal. Someone get Hugh an adult! /Copyright Viacom

                 Lincoln tells his family that they need to tone it down because he needs to study.  When he finally he gets some time with Hugh. Also Lincoln knows the exports of Bosnia and Herzegovina. (Suure why not?)  Hugh  finds out that Lincoln doesn't need his help something else must be making Lincoln fail.  If Hugh leaves the country I don't blame him. Anyway, poor Lincoln gets another F anyway. 

     The sisters found out Lincoln has  a sub named  Ms. DiMartino. (And Oh no! She's Hot!)  Also, Lori remembers Bobby existing.  The Flashback shows that yes Lincoln  has fallen for her. There's a good solution for Lincoln where he takes his test in a locker to not see Ms. DiMartino.

     It really could have been an awful episode but , no it's not. When Lincoln really wants his sisters to back off they do, they help him figure out his problem. I do feel sorry for Hugh.  This episode is strange and weird but it made me laugh a lot, it's really an entertaining episode  9.5/10 (the extra .5 pts is because oh no! it's hot! )

The Loud House: Season 1: The Price of Admission/ One Flu over the Loud House

The Loud House  Nickelodeon 

        Memories, oh memories, I remember the last episode we covered here .   Now to episode 25.

 Episode 25A: The Price of Admission

            I'm starting like this, this is one of plots where Character  can't watch something because the parents say they are too young for it and might get scared then character watches it anyway and gets scared and has to hide it.  This is not me saying this makes and episode bad because it uses a stock plot it's fine to use a stock plot.  I'm just acknowledging that this is that plot.

          I do like the premise of the movie presented in this episode where a farmer goes crazy after a drought and starts harvesting human organs, that sounds like a fun movie. Lincoln and Clyde go to the theater and apparently there's two choices the "Barney" parody  and that harvesting human organs movie. (Bad theater)   Clyde is going to see the movie made for children 6 or less because , comedy?.  Lincoln decides to watch "The Harvester" as I said above we knew this already.

         Lincoln proves his mother right because he is terrified now. How is the episode going to make this interesting so, we can have more fun even though it is a stock plot?  He  comes home and the parents are decorating for fall because it's fall apparently?   The fun in the episode come from Lincoln getting scared by random things because of the movie.  The father's descriptions of where things are in the basement ,attic. and garage this episode deserves a point for that.   Why is Mr.Grouse gardening at night? Nobody knows.  This episode also has some great moments to have laughs at so, there is that too.

            There's not much I can say about what goes on in the episode,so I'm skipping a head, to the ending.  The parents decide that sure yeah Lincoln can go see the movie and they are going to see it with him.  Like I said, he tells his parents that he was scared and they don't get mad at him which, is a nice touch and glad they didn't.  This is a great episode, it's enjoyable  and has great comedy and funny moments. It's also good at showing fear and how simple things in a different context can be scary. It's a great episode one again, these later season 1 episodes really have some nice tight writing and this is another episode showing that. I give it 9/10.
