You know I am a HUGE fan of SpongeBob. I'm 18, and people tell me I'm too old for SpongeBob, and I tell them you're never too old for something you like. But SpongeBob looks like it's about to jump the shark (I hope not). They are making a spinoff series called Kamp Koral which involves 10 year old SpongeBob at summer camp. Kind of sounds like the third movie, which already looks bad. First of all, the show is in CGI, I don't think putting SpongeBob in CGI is a good idea. Second of all, this show goes COMPLETELY against Stephen Hillenburg's wishes for the show.
Stephen Hillenburg would hate this and not let this happen if he were here. Not only did he not want spinoffs or crossover with SpongeBob, he also didn't want to age down the characters. Apparently, when he first created the show, Nickelodeon wanted SpongeBob to be school-aged and go to school, but Stephen Hillenburg didn't want that, and considered quitting the show, until he came up with just making SpongeBob an adult in boating school.
Are there any petitions to cancel the spinoff? I would make one, but I am at my friends house to sleepover, so I don't have my computer with me.
