The Loud Family UnShattered

This is the official channel of the Loud Family of An American Family and their podcast series "The Loud Family - UnShattered."

Billed as "The Most Important Television Series in History," the 1973 docuseries “An American Family” became an overnight sensation and is now widely considered to be the inception of Reality TV. Opening with an image of the Loud family shattering across the television screen, the breakthrough series dominated media headlines and boasted 10 million weekly viewers as it chronicled the collapse of Bill and Pat Loud’s 20-year marriage, and through oldest son Lance Loud, presented the first openly gay lifestyle to primetime audiences.

The surviving members of the Loud family share the bizarre, untold story in a series of unfiltered conversations. More than a historical narrative, "The Loud Family - UnShattered" covers topics including surrendered privacy and the reckless nature of the media: issues perhaps even more relevant today than they were 50 years ago.
