    This is a great show, but really bothers me is that I notice a bit of stereotypicalness. For example; Lacienega is lucky in her life, becuase she is beautiful and rich. Penny always stands up for herself and always ends up winning an argument or winning a battle between someone. Dijonay is a backstabber and instead, should look out more for Penny. In my opinion; I think Zoey should be Penny's best girl; she's made some mistakes, but not the kind of mistakes that Dijonay and Lacienega have made. Zoey is the one who is mostly supporting all of Penny's decisons and opinions; next to Sticky. But, her two other friends, couldn't care less. I understand Lacienega; but Dijonay should know better. Another thing that bothers me is Trudy. I know there are some Trudy fans on this forum and I'm sorry if I'm saying this that might offend anyone. But sometimes; she is the reason why problems are always getting bigger. She forces Oscar to do something that he does not want to do and just because she is the wife; Trudy thinks that she can walk all over him, just to get her own way. If Penny doesn't want to have the Gross Sisters at her party; Trudy, you do not treat your daughter badly about her opinion. If Oscar does not want to go furniture shopping; leave him alone! If Oscar says something that you don't like Trudy; get over it! If Penny does not want to babysit; leave her alone. All she wants to do is hang out with her friends. You do not threaten her to babysit, while being punished. Otherwise, all you got now are three problems. A girl complaining and two babies crying. Suga Mama; Oscar is your son, deal with it! Bobby is his older brother and could sing; big deal. Oscar tries so hard to help his family, stop insulting him! Penny; you are not a cool kid; get that out of your head. Myran might not be one of your closest friends; well you are not perfect either. In my opinion; if you think Myran is bad; than you are worse. As for Oscar; he's made mistakes and there were times where he has been a jerk. But,he has nothing in his life; all he ever gets is torture, threats and insults. I think that Oscar is not a bad person; he just needs a better environment to live in. If you want my advice, Oscar; divorce Trudy and take the kids with you. Don't give up on your Proud Snax; just continue to be yourself. Otherwise, this show is pretty good and I'm sorry if this review might be a bit harsh, so please forgive me.moreless

    In an attempt to make a new teen sitcom, Disney decided to change pace by instead of a live action they go for an animated teen sitcom and the results are disastrous and was such a waste. The Proud Family centers around a young girl named Penny Proud and her crazy family. She goes through typical teen problems with her family, school, and friends. So at firs the show sounds like any other teen show, but it fails in more ways then one. The show's major problem has to be the fact that most of the characters on this show are just unlikable. Penny is one of the few likable characters who tries to help others, but is always being back stabbed, and is treated miserably by her family. In every episode she's always treated so harshly by everyone. Her dad, Oscar, is never allowing her to date, the mom, Trudy, is overcritical of her, and she has her on a tight leash, and the grandma, Sugar Mama, is usually of no help most of the time. Oscar is somewhat sympathetic since he is always being bullied by his own family, and never seems to have support, but most of the time he is a jerk to everyone, and is spineless, and is pushed around easily. He is also too strict on Penny and being with a boy. He always ruins every relationship Penny tries to have with a boy, and I understand protection, but honestly he goes to far. Trudy is way too bossy most of the time. She may act nice every now and then, but is mostly a bossy woman who wants things her way. Sugar Mama is the only other likable family member. She acts really cool, and is pretty awesome with her tough attitude, but sometimes she acts harsh especially to Oscar for some reason. Penny's friends (can't remember them all) are portrayed as back stabbing jerks who never stick with Penny. Whenever Penny is in trouble her friends abandon her and run off. They also turn their back on her a lot, and are never there for her most of the time. Lacienaga is a stuck up jerk, Deejaney is a girl who thinks she's all that, but isn't and is way too sassy. Sticky is OK, but not that supportive of Penny, and Zoe is just acceptable, and rather the same as Sticky. In every episode all the characters act like jerks, and everyone comes off as selfish and whiny jerks. There is no real likability to these characters. The plots are decent, but in every episode it's pretty much the same, it's just Penny being mistreated and fights the injustice. There may be some variety every now and then, but not enough. The humor is full of one liners and gags that while some are pretty funny, most are rather dull, and come off as stupid. The artwork is OK, but the characters are drawn rather weird and their proportions are weird to look at. The animation is stiff though, and choppy most of the time. Overall The Proud Family has too many problems in it, and was just a waste of effort. I will credit it for being an animated teen show and not another live action one, but it just didn't work for many reasons. The characters are unlikable, the stories are predictable, the humor is bland, and the animation is terrible. This show may have it's merits, but this is one family that you may never want to get a chance to know or even see.moreless

  • Wasn't the best Disney Channel animated show,but was still good

    Kim Possible was one of Disney Channel's best animated shows ever,however,during that time,Disney decided to do a test and turn a teen sitcom and a black comedy into an animated sitcom,and it didn't really fail,but it wasn't great or anything. The Proud Family is about Penny Proud (Yes,their last names are Proud) and her family going through modern life itself,and Penny tries to put up with her embarrassing family. It sounds like a terrible idea,but the show's result ended up pretty good. The animation is OK,but it's not bad though. But seriously,why does it look like cutted out paper? As for the characters,while some of them are bad,the rest are good characters. Penny is the main character who is nice and friendly,but I feel sorry for her life. She can also act selfish at times,and I wouldn't blame her. Her family overprotect her waayyy too much. Oscar is the dad,and he sucks at being father. Seriously,why won't he let Penny have a date,despite the fact she's a teenager? And is annoying at times,and even gets bullied. The mom (Forgot her name) is a bit better than Oscar,and is not over protective. Suga Mama,however,was my favorite member of the family. She is the most funniest of the family,and is like a combine of Big Momma from Big Momma's House and Madea,except she is not a boy in disguise. Penny's friends may be jerks,but what's hilrailous about them is the fact that whenever Penny's in trouble,they leave her and not help. They may be jerks for doing that,but it's hilrailous how they do that. But something that's really confusing,there are characters that are the color blue. Why? Who thought it was a great idea to color these characters blue? I also love the running gag how we never see Mr Wizard's face. Overall,Proud Family was a good way for a teen sitcom to turn animated,but wasn't one of Disney Channel's best cartoons ever.moreless

    The Proud Family is a great show that features an African American family's life. Penny Proud is the main character who is a 14 year old teenage girl experiencing the ordinary life events that many teenage girls must face through. School is a big deal. Getting good grades and having a good support system through family and friends and some of the messages. Although, there is bullying and disloyalty amongst friends in this show. Sometimes I would feel sorry for Penny for choosing the friends that she chose. I like Oscar Proud and Suga Momma in this show, because they often have funny skits with one another. The voice acting is good in this show.moreless

    The Proud Family is basically an animated sitcom of an African American family living together and dealing with life, but with some humor and animated slapstick in the mix. I kind of liked it during the first and second season because of Oscar Proud's antics always getting him into trouble, but now it seems that the Oscar bashing jokes are taking this a bit too far. I mean, he nearly got killed by some rowdy babies, for crying out loud! Also, I think the real reason behind the show's end was because every character has many demands that they always take out their frustrations on someone. Also, Trudy Proud may have been sweet in the first season, but now she has become into "the man" that she always uses Oscar as a scapegoat. Oh, and Suga Mama is pretty cool, but she should really treat Oscar as an equal rather than a punching bag. So all and all, this show is okay, but these flaws are kind of the real reason why some people hate this show so much.moreless
