<p>Hello everyone!
</p><p>I know you all are freaking out on the episode ratings from ChefBob (1.04), so can you guys comment below what suggestions you have to boost ratings and/or save the series? Please!
</p><p>
</p><p>
Thanks, xoxo ??

If you make a quality show, people will watch it and even recommend it to others if it's good enough. That's how SpongeBob originally became so popular. It doesn't seem to be happening so much anymore in season 11, although this admittedly isn't the biggest factor (mismanagement by Nick has had a bigger role), but keeping the quality of episodes to a high level certainly matters as well. If they turn out widely hated episodes like Ink Lemonade on the other hand, that can turn off several viewers from wanting to watch the show again, especially if they haven't seen a lot of episodes and think that most of them are like this. Especially among the older demographic who saw the older seasons, I have seen many potential returning viewers (both online and in real life) turned off from watching more of the new episodes because it looks too different (ex: the animation, character designs, etc.) and most of all doesn't capture that same level of quality as the older seasons.

There’s people on the internet who just ditch post-movie and post-sequel and don’t watch the new ones. That last point in fact does matter. </p>
- Air the episodes on Saturday
- Stop showing ads after the theme song
- Make the episodes better

<p>True, but, people on this wiki like at least a few post-sequel episodes (and non-pre-movie episodes in general).

yeah

<p>Omg this thread blew up. But I agree with Chuck, Lumoshi the episode quality haa nothing to do with ratings. Season 6 had high ratings. But we're kinda getting off topic... I feel like they should put ads for new episodes on YouTube like FOX does The Simpsons.

guys this is because the episodes were newly aired and nobody really reviewed and they calculate their site's official review from user reviews
(Edited by Vemsa)
<p>I have negative predictions. Shopping List will air very late (maybe even as bad as The Incredible Shrinking Sponge/Sportz?)

<p>It's getting more popular on the internet that 9b-11 are a return to form. Yeah there will be people who blindly hate episodes just because they are not pre movie (we had an incident a few days ago on Spongebuddy Mania where a guy said Zeus should jump off a cliff), but I doubt the quality of the show, but I doubt quality of the show will increase ratings. Yeah Ink probably made a lot of people turn away, but that is one episode out of 80. You don't see people making individual videos praising the good episodes (at least youtubers that matter). Frankly, the internet wants to hate on things, wether the quality of Spongebob is good or bad, people will flock to the worst with no care of the best. The unfortunate fact is a lot of people are done with Spongebob (as will I probably after Season 11, I see no reason why a Season 12 to exist). I doubt tha views will increase, it will either stagnate, or decline into the hundred thousands, and than die off in Nicktoons whilt the Loud House becomes Nick's cash cow for the near future. But hey, at least the current Season is pretty good (at least imo)
