Editorials

By: Qwertyxp2000 the second

Season 9A and 9B are separated by the fact that Season 9B starts off after the production of episodes “SpongeBob You’re Fired,” “Kenny the Cat,” and “Yeti Krabs.” They are all released before the episodes beyond “SpongeBob You’re Fired” have been made. Thus between episodes 179A to 189 is Season 9A, and the rest of Season 9, 190A to 204B, are all Season 9B.

There are a wide variety of aspects that split Season 9A with Season 9B, and of course, the writers Zeus Cervas and Casey Alexander have left at the end of Season 9A to move to some of the new Cartoon Network shows. To some of the viewers, instead of focusing obscurity in topics in Season 9B, Season 9B is a lot more natural in the story flow. How? Instead of showing a wide different aspect such as the adulty themes of Squid Baby to suddenly going to a violent and/or nightmarish one like some of the poor Season 7’s, Season 9B does not stray too much towards adulty themes, especially not to depression, adulty relationship kinds of stuff, any public humiliation of certain characters, child-scaring scenes such as Puffy Fluffy of A Pal for Gary (of Season 7), and other things only an adult would adapt to. Season 9B has a significant improvement to Season 9A as it doesn’t stray to those straight-on-your-face adulty things (Seasons 1-3 may have adult jokes but kids won’t understand them or get offended by them; violence or depressed characters, however, children definitely see the bad stuff).

Season 9B also has themes that are appropriate to the child audience but are also good for the adult viewers, such as one about “The Whole Tooth,” an episode about Patrick having to pull out his last baby tooth, which is applicable to children. There are also topics that are suitable for all, such as “Sold!”‘s real estate theme, which is not offensive to the development of children, or even to some themes that are appropriate to how a child may view (since they don’t see adults having romantic love but adults do, and children don’t get affected by what they see in their face because they know whatever they see).
