The Kardashions are self-involved, narcissistic and gross. It's so different now - w social media and hero worship. I think the Louds are nothing like the Kardashions. Just my opinion. I watched it when I was a kid. 😊
This is so interesting to me. Saturday Night Live did a skit about this with John Belushi as one of the kids, and he was speaking so loudly. My older brother had to explain to me about the Loud Family documentary since I was in kindergarten when it originally aired!
I really enjoyed seeing the Loud family 10 years later. I can remember all the controversy when it was aired, as it was all anyone talked about. Who would know reality TV would become a thing, a big thing, in the years ahead. Over the years I tried to find out what happened to the family with little success. I know that Lance died of aids, at least that is what I read. I also read that Pat Loud moved in with Bill later in life, and even though they lived together they did not remarry. It would be so interesting to know where the living members of the family are, and how their lives turned out. I do hope they are doing well. They certainly will go down in the history books. Thanks for sharing this!
It seemed odd to me that Bill Loud said being married was a better way to live, when he cheated on his wife, Pat, which violates the first rule of a successful marriage.
I was a teenager when the show premiered on PBS. There had never been anything like it before. The Real World is credited as the first reality show but everyone should remember the Louds were the first. I believe some of them married but I don't know if any of them had kids. I also watched the documentary about Lance on TH-cam; very sad. It was shot shortly before he passed in 2002. It's very sad and touching.
I was a kid when the original show aired, and my dad was doing cartwheels lol It was a pop culture sensation and he was all about it, so we'd all gather in front of the tube to watch the show every week. But as an adult some 50 years later with the benefit if retrospect and the internet, Santa Barbara is a creepy place with a strange history ... Elliot Rodger lived in Santa Barbara when he snapped. The OG Nightstalker and the Zodiac were in SB. It was also infamous for one of the first known priest molestation incidents, in which 25% of the priests at Saint Anthony’s Seminary in Santa Barbara were guilty of SA-ing children. This was part of the Franklin case. Interesting place.
I watched the movie on HBO about this family and the making of this 73 family day to day drama. I was intrigued.. I was also sad for the family and the wife because the husband is so cavalier so un caring and a. Cheater. But to have this Unfold in front of millions of people it's on film . I just felt sorry for the family
I never saw the original, but I was a teen ager at the same time as these kids. I felt it in my parents & those of my classmates the parents , disliked hippies &basically were wishing for they day their youngest would turn 18 so the parents could be free .
@@ilsavankuren6511 The updated part of this video, where she is in New York, she was in her late 50s at that point and looking amazing. She had great genes. Lived to age 94.
If having a family means being surrounded by people that care about you and care about what matters to you, then I never had one. My parents were the sickest most twisted crowd of lowlifes it was my Misfortune to have anything to do with. I was born into this world as a disease, fully abused, disrespected and dysfunctional boy even long past my teenage years. Born into a home of enemies, a house of hate inside and out, it was a nightmare I would not wish for my worst enemy. I like the loud family because they are so unlike the people I grew up with. At least they appear that way. That's why I don't understand the boy who is now a man named Grant. He did an interview where he talked about all this war stories about growing up in that house. I never saw any wore myself watching these videos so I don't know what he's talking about.
Fascinating update. Kevin seems to be the most successful, he certainly was handsome, wasn't he? Grant lookd MUCH better once he cut his hair and gained some weight. Don't get me wrong, I love long hair... but Grant's hair always looked stringy and greasy, and he was so scrawny. And Lance. He was sure cute... it seemed like he was just always wandering, and never able to find himself. Supposedly that house is worth about 3 million dollars now. The people who own it today bought it in 1998 for 775,000$ Pat and Bill most likely paid around 50,000$ for it in 1963.
So in love with this family. Way better than the Kardashians

They were relatively well off, but far more real.
The who? 🤓👍
Maybe this show is where Mama Kardashian got the idea.
@@kay_red1156 very possible but these guys did it way classier
Thank you so much for these videos! I really enjoyed each one of them! 🥰
You are so welcome!

So was I, but my older brother and sister were the ages of the Loud kids, so it gives me a picture of their lives then.
Thank you for this!

I remember watching the original on PBS in the 70s. 📺
Lance grew into his body for sure. Handsome guy he was
Many thanks!
You're welcome!
The Louds both lived well into their 90’s.
Lance was just creative and he’s handsome and smart I loved this show and family
I wonder how this family is today, forty years later.
Count your years correctly dummy. It's actually been 50 years, half a century!
Check out the surviving family members podcast here on TH-cam.
wow Margaret Mead called that one!
Yes she did; brilliant.

10 years later and Grant is still the most interesting Loud

The original and real REALITY TV
diane lane gives an astonishing performance as pat loud in a movie that came out several years ago.
Watch the UK version filmed in 1974 called “The Family”. Much better then the American version
I never saw the original, but I was a teen ager at the same time as these kids. I felt it in my parents & those of my classmates the parents , disliked hippies &basically were wishing for they day their youngest would turn 18 so the parents could be free .
Pat was a real beauty.
I thought the same watching it as a teen, she was gorgeous! Watching it now as a 65+ woman I wonder how she looked so fantastic after having 5 kids!

Yikes. Amerika, you fascinate me - and make me laugh.
That’s fair lol

“An American Family” was not like any family I knew. Way too affluent and hi-brow…🙄
