Top Ten Ways to Make Seasons 10 and Up of SpongeBob SquarePants Very Popular

Are you hoping for Season 10 and the new seasons to be as popular as the first three seasons? I hope so too! That way SpongeBob could become almost as popular as The Simpsons.
The Top Ten
Bring in better writers

The writers are the ones responsible for the humor. If the original writers came back, the show would be fantastic again. Even with new and talented writers, don't you think the show could still be amazing? Either way, this would make SpongeBob as funny and entertaining as it used to be!

Bring back writers like Merriwether Williams, Walt Dohrn, and other talented individuals who know how to do their jobs right.

Stephen Hillenburg is back on the show now! Yay!

Bring back the old character personalities

SpongeBob and the other main characters have become very stupid, corny, and annoying. If they weren't like that anymore in seasons 10 and up, the show would become popular again!

SpongeBob used to be immature yet kind-hearted. Now, he's an ignorant and annoying moron. It would be great to return to the original personalities.

Why have Mr. Krabs, Sandy, SpongeBob, Mrs. Puff, and Patrick all become such jerks?

Improve the animation quality

I have to admit, seasons 6, 7, and a few episodes from seasons 5 and 8 were disgusting and full of torture. If the animation quality were improved, the show would be much more watchable.

The new animation tries to imitate Ren & Stimpy, but it just looks like generic, thin-line animation instead.

The characters are so hyperactive and over-exaggerated in the new episodes.

Stop including suicide
Release tons of episodes

I heard Season 10 might become the longest season yet, meaning we could get a lot of awesome episodes!

Make the characters more funny and gentle

Remember how SpongeBob and the other main characters were funny and gentle in the first three seasons? After that, they got out of control, especially SpongeBob. If the characters were as gentle and funny in season 10 as they were in the first three seasons, they would be more likable, which would help improve the tenth season.

The characters all jump around and it's hard to watch. They should be more like how they were in the episode Help Wanted.

Not release gross episodes

Most episodes from Seasons 6 and 7 were very disgusting and not worth watching. Let's hope Season 10 doesn't follow that path.

Bring back the old music

The music in the first three seasons was awesome, but now it's gotten out of hand and feels silly. I hope Season 10 will bring back the old music!

Bring back the shake effect from the first three seasons

When the screen shook in some episodes during the first three seasons, I thought it was very cool. It would be nice if that effect were brought back in Season 10 and onwards.

Make an awesome crossover with another Nicktoon

It would be great to see a crossover with another popular Nicktoon in Season 10 or later seasons. Maybe something with The Fairly OddParents would be cool.

The Contenders
Bring back Stephen Hillenburg
Lessen the character abuse

If you think SpongeBob is cruel and deserves torture for what he's done to Squidward, be careful what you wish for - it's happened a lot in the newer SpongeBob episodes! Please lessen the abuse toward SpongeBob and Squidward.

Episodes since Season 4 often focus on torturing a specific character for no real reason. Reducing the number of these episodes would be a huge improvement.

The abuse directed at SpongeBob and Squidward needs to stop.

Remove disturbing close-ups

Actually, Seasons 1-3 had disturbing close-ups too. Remember Wormy?

Target it to all audiences again

I would like to see some grown-up jokes return. They snuck in some vulgar humor in classic SpongeBob, but we don't need jokes about depression, suicide, or mental illness.

Seasons 6-9 seemed to be aimed only at kids. Season 10 should try to appeal to all age groups again.

Depression, suicide, physical and mental abuse, disgusting stuff, and freaky faces.

You know, for kids.

Make Sandy less of a scientist

What about her doing things like in Squid Defense, The Way of the Sponge, or Frozen Face Off? She barely does karate anymore, just science.

She doesn't do karate anymore - just science.

Sneak in more grown up jokes

During SpongeBob's golden age, there were lots of grown-up jokes that made the show even better. We should bring them back, but not really dark ones like the jokes from "Are You Happy Now?" or "One Course Meal."

Lower the pitch of SpongeBob's voice
Improve characterization

Some of the characters, especially Sandy, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs, have gotten worse in the newer seasons. It would be great for them to revert to their old personalities.

Stop airing filler episodes

Seasons 6-9 had several filler episodes - episodes with little to no memorable jokes and lame plots. Hopefully, Season 10 will avoid this.

Add new characters

They've already added about 20 new characters in Season 9 alone.

Make it slower paced
More celebrity guests and crossovers
Stop making the characters jerks

As of Season 12, Plankton and Squidward are the only nice characters on the show. SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, and Mr. Krabs have become some of the meanest characters.

Stop torturing Plankton and Squidward

Plankton and Squidward have been through enough, Nickelodeon!

In "Are You Happy Now?", Squidward realizes that he doesn't have a happy memory and falls into a deep depression, almost leading him to end it all. By the end of the episode, Squidward has a mental breakdown that is meant to be funny, but it just... isn't.

In "One Course Meal," Mr. Krabs finds out that Plankton is afraid of whales. What does Mr. Krabs do? He traumatizes Plankton by dressing up as his daughter, Pearl (who is a whale). And no one tries to comfort Plankton.

Both characters were on the verge of committing suicide, by the way... WHAT THE HECK, GUYS!?

There should be an episode about these two at a therapist's office, discussing their trauma from "Are You Happy Now" and "One Course Meal."

Show more of Gary and Spot's friendship

When Gary and Spot run away to hang out with each other, SpongeBob and Plankton could bond while searching for them. That would make for a great episode.
