While the ages of each main character in The Loud House can be unclear at times, not much time has passed in the story for this animated series.
Centered on the young Lincoln Loud, The Loud House highlights a huge family with 11 children who go through wild adventures in their everyday lives. The series debuted in 2016 as Nickelodeon's latest in a long legacy of animated shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, which just made history in a recent episode.
With about 200 episodes now in the books after eight years, The Loud House is in the early stages of its Season 8 run.
