====Season One (2018)====
Post your review for the season here!
* The show is very good, my first new show with Matchy since our team up at the beginning of the month. I'm kinda glad I didn't anticipate this one as much as futurebob because this is similar to some other spin-offs yet it has its own twists by removing characters from SpongeBob SquarePants (fanon series) like Krabs, Shicowa, Adam, Maja, MermaidKid and BarnacleBean, and (later) Plankton! - 
* (Revised review) After at first giving this season a "great" rating, I feel like I should revise me review since the season is over. "TheJasbre202 cites Rocko's Modern Life, Beavis and Butt-Head, The Simpsons and Family Guy as the inspiration for some of the storylines, humor and style." The humor in this season is decent, but the quote seems like some marketing scheme to get people to read the series. Some episodes have little to no humor, especially Jasbre's episodes. Note that I am talking about the episodes not written by me. 7.5/10 - 
* *smack* Noice. - RTehNoobv2
* 8/10 - Unfamiliarity with the new characters will either keep away new readers, or invite new readers as the unique setup and unique lineup of well-rounded characters is sure to bring a new twist to each episode. - SwitchPlanters
* 8.5/10 – A fresh take on the retired genre of spin-offs, a call back to Reckless and Retired with a mix of SpongeBob SquarePants (Fanon). Luis~SBCA M C #Laban Pilipinas!   15:32,03/19/2018 
* 8/10 - A great reboot of another show on this Wikia known as "Reckless and Retired", like my man above me said, and a mix of new and old characters from SpongeBob SquarePants (fanon) and the mind of Jasbre. - Gene Scallop
* 7/10 - Can be a pinch better, but it is already pretty good. AFallenPower (Talk • Contributions)
* 8/10 - it's a good spinoff, but i feel like it could've gone without removing some characters from the fanon series. Squidsponge
* 9/10 - Better than anything Pence can pull off - George Bush Jr.
* 9/10 - Better than anything than that bushy boy can pull off - Mike Pence
* 5/10 - it's ok. - 
* 9/10 - One of the best shows on the wiki airing in 2018. - 
* 8.88/10 - It's pretty good for the most part and is definitely on the better side of spin-offs this wiki has. - 
* 0/10 - Mr. Krabs should never retire, he's too good. also how is it this far into the future, do they have future stuff? - **UNSIGNED**
* 9.5/10 It's honestly one of the Better Spin-Offs on the Wiki. SuperJoeyBros9
* 8/10 Excellent. The ideas and episodes are amazing along with the show. 
====Season Two (2018)====
Post your review for the season here!
* Idk what happened at the beginning of the season with Matchy's take-over and all crediting himself as the sole-showrunner when i showran those released episodes, anyway, I know the quality dip will sure to rise again with 6 more fun adventures with our favorite characters in this fun spin-off on Sunday - 
====Season Three (2021)====
Post your review for the season here!
* TBA
==Trivia==
*This was the first fully-scripted spin-off on SBFW to be weekly without missing any episodes or airdates.
*This is the first spin-off has worked on since 2015.
* cites Rocko's Modern Life, Beavis and Butt-Head, The Simpsons and Family Guy as the inspiration for some of the storylines, humor and style.
