The Loud House was not Chris Savino's first attempt at making a TV show. He made a pilot called "Foe Paws" for Cartoon Network all the way back in 2000 (the year I was born) as one of 10 short films to enter The Big Pick, with the winning one getting picked up for a full television series. It was about two pets taken home by an Italian woman who treats them like humans. Foe Paws unfortunately did not win, and it was sadly forgotten. Many aspects of this pilot were brought over into The Loud House, including the Sunday funnies feel and the character design (Mama Mia kind of looks like a Loud House character, right?)
