Trivia
- The first five episodes premiered as the first five episodes in the fourth season of The Loud House.
- The English translation of the show's title ("The Big House"), as well as the original logo, are pretty much variants of the sister show's.
- There is no sure proof that this show was created by Chris Savino (who created The Loud House) since he was fired from Nickelodeon in October 2017 for sexual abuse against at least 12 of the female voice actors in The Loud House cast. However, The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos, the episode that introduce most of the main characters in The Casagrandes, premiered before Chris Savino got fired.
- Lincoln, Lori, and Lisa are the only Loud House characters who appear in every season. The former two are also the only members of the Loud Family who make more than two or three appearances.
