For the record, I came up with this idea weeks ago and have the community posts to prove it. It just so happened that Alex Meyers also made basically this same exact video lol. I was on vacation and didn't find out he made a video on Bunk'd until yesterday. Oh well. Hope you guys still enjoy.
@@DigiRangerScottThe format approaches are also different. Alex is far more jokey with animated caricatures of the characters (and clearly did not have an easy time growing up with how often rants to parents come up as jokes), and at times can seem more flippant than analytical. But he survived Riverdale with sanity mostly intact so kudos on that.
It’s still an enigma to me how this show show started as a simple spinoff to Jessie,yet somehow morphed into its own thing with a rotating cast of kids like goddam dr who with the doctors
Bunkd was premiered after the last episode of Jessie where the parents promised they would care for the kids forever. Then they shipped em to summer camp.
It’s crazy to think that Bunk’d has been running for almost 10 years and for 7 seasons. I remember when the Ross family left camp and I thought Bunk’d would eventually get cancelled because the main characters left the show, but I’m surprised and amazed that they have been running.
The show was originally going to end after the Ross kids left. But the show was apparently so popular on Netflix that they decided to renew it for another season
Btw Parker and Victoria's actors are both professional dancers on top of being actors. So yes they could do that the whole time. In fact Victoria's won So You Think You Can Dance Canada one time.
@@nicholassims9837 family matters lasted nine seasons and was on for nine years. It's parent series Perfect Stranger last eight seasons and was on for seven years. It isn't too big of a difference but most people forget family matters is a spinoff.
When the OG Bunk’d first came out, I was phasing out of watching Disney Channel sitcoms in my free time. I only watched a few episodes here and there. That said, I’d love a full retrospective to see how things changed for this show.
Bunk’d was certainly an interesting show. Each individual season pretty much felt like a different show because of all the cast changes. Well, actually, the first two seasons had the same cast, and seasons 6 and 7 had the same cast. Also, you said you didn’t expect Peyton List to come back. She actually did come back in the first episode of season 5. You also said you didn’t think the Kikiwaka would be referenced after the first episode. There was actually an episode in season 1 where Ravi and Tiffany encounter the Kikiwaka and they try to prove to everyone that the Kikiwaka exists, and the Kikiwaka was in an episode in season 3 too. I think it would’ve been fine if Bunk’d got cancelled after season 2, to be honest. But I think the reason why they decided to make more seasons was because the show got really popular on Netflix. I don’t know that for sure though. This was another great video, keep it up 👍😊
@@RealogOnlyBrodie yeah, the Kikiwaka did appear in the season 3 finale, I remember. I think the show should’ve ended at season 2 or season 3, or maybe even season 5 before the setting of the show changed to Kikiwaka Ranch
I think the direction they went post season 3 was the best decision for the long haul to keep the show going in a way that made sense. Lou loves the camp and she found her love for teaching there. It made sense for the Ross's to sell it to her.
@@darwinbowman8512 yeah, you’re right, it did make sense. But it didn’t make sense when the setting of the show changed to Kikiwaka Ranch. I thought the seasons at Kikiwaka Ranch were stupid. The show should’ve ended before Kikiwaka Ranch was introduced
Show went from a less interesting Jessie sequel due to Luke being gone to just it's own weird thing for the next gen of actors. Early part always sorta interesting but a camp is limited on ideas
@@ivanbluecool I feel like Luke was the only one of the kids from the Jessie cast that could’ve carried his own show within the same universe. He’s the only relatable Ross kid despite being rich. I could’ve seen a Luke and Ravi spin-off where they went to like a boarding school or something but that would’ve been too similar to Zack and Cody.
@@RealogOnlyBrodiewell he was offered to lead his own show which is an opportunity he had to take and I think he was filming Descendants around that time
I still can believe this show went on for as long as it did. And now with it's finale, this actually closes the door on the world that started all the way from Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
@@SecretMagician Yeah I get that the crossover universe is continuing, I just directly mean Suite of Zack and Cody because the creators of Bunkd, Jessie and Suite Life on Deck got started there as a writer.
The show was originally going to end after the Ross kids left. But the show was apparently so popular on Netflix that they decided to renew it for another season
Parker and Victoria's actors are dancers in real life, had just got married irl, and met doing a teen dance show together called The Next Step :) I love mentioning this fact on videos like this cause it's funny to see people meet Trevor (and Jordan) in stuff like Bunk'D and Zombies while I and many others met them through TNS yearsss ago haha.
iirc i think Tiffany had a small arc of learning to be less stressed about her grades (as much as you can do in a show like this) though not by too much (her mother appears in an episode and has a development arc believe it or not revealing she gained her tendencies from her own mother)
Actually, Bunk'd (including Bunk'd: Learning the Ropes) has 161 episodes, not 109, so you'll have to watch 159 episodes if you do end up doing a Bunk'd retrospective😂
Emma was in season 5 episode 1 she left for molding and then Parker Preston played by bucky in zombies and meg as well when I watched the last season it was heartbreaking because they focused on their future just like raven's home
I wonder if changing the setting, and thus the name, was to exploit a contract loophole by Disney Channel. Or if it was a way to revitalise the show since this happened at season 6.
parker comes from a RICH family in season five (he is from the family that started the camp so there’s conflict with him accommodating to wildlife as well as owning the camp since lou finally got ownership that season!!) i believe…his actor started on the next step which is a canadian dance show and that’s where he met his wife jordan who he married in bunk’d, but also last year they legit married!! or maybe 2022…anyways he (trevor who plays parker) is also in zombies!! his wife and him are trained and professional dancers, hence why they danced like that at the end!! his wife jordan actually won or at least participated in so you think you can dance season 2 i believe!!
fun fact the two characters who got married on the show also got married in real life and were apart of the family (i guess a subsidiary of Disney channel) show 'the next step'!!! it was very popular, at least in Canada and im pretty sure its still running its on its 9th season
The way I see it, Bunk'd has the same, more or less, character arc as SpongeBob and Teen Titans Go. They slowly but surely become the biggest show on the network with the biggest ratings (as far as cable at the time goes and especially on streaming) even in spite of a long flop era of bad episodes and bad seasons. Making a majority of viewers hate the show and even some diehard fans admitting that maybe the show should end. Instead, the channel not only floods the schedule with almost nothing but that show, they renew the show for more seasons enough times that it becomes the longest running show in the history of that channel. Making the haters hate the show even more and even pointing at it as a scapegoat for the channel's downfall. Even though that's the channel's own fault and not the fault of people who are just doing their jobs making a single tv show. At least with Nick and Cartoon Network, they don't limit how long a show lasts, but Disney Channel used to enforce a 65 episode limit even with their most successful shows which is bad enough. But then, you think of all the shows that were more deserving of lasting 5+ seasons. Lizzie McGuire (the original and the Disney+ revival) Wander Over Yonder Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes The Spectacular Spider-Man Sydney to the Max Motorcity Andi Mack Tron: Uprising Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion The Ghost and Molly McGee Secrets of Sulphur Springs The Owl House Kick Buttowski DuckTales How sad is it that out of all those shows that could’ve lived long enough for us to watch its’ young characters graduate from high school (I know some characters from these shows didn’t go to school but still) the only one ended up being Raven’s Home where we got to see at least Booker graduate from high school because most of the cast members’ contracts were already up because the show lasted that long!?!?! Even after they eventually redeem themselves with great episodes and even great seasons, many people look at the show as an example of Disney Channel's favoritism and neglect of shows that could've gotten that same respect.
eh i never watched the owl house, the ghost and molly mcgee, tron uprising, motorcity, or any of the animated marvel shows, i hated sulphur springs, i thought kick buttowski was mid at best(to be fair i watched like 1 episode as a kid lmao), and i stopped liking andi mack when i realized ash*r angel is a shit person, and no one will ever change my mind and force me to give any of those a chance or 2nd chance(the only one of those i could ever be willing to possibly give a chance is ig kick buttowski lmao), so ion think any of those deserved past like 1-2 seasons lmfao(imma jus say kick buttowski deserved however long it aired ion know but its the most tolerable of the shows i said ion fw outta that list)i also honestly still like spongebob and teen titans go💀 but i do think that bunkd went to shit after season 3, and i like the other shows mentioned(ravens home, ducktales, sydney to the max, lizzie mcguire, wander over yonder, ultra violet & black scorpion)lmao
@@randomaccount3574 >Has never watched a majority of the shows on the list. >Hates watching a show only because an actor screwed up their reputation. >Will not give any of the other shows a chance because "haven't watched it, therefore it's ass". >Claims Kick Buttowski is more tolerable than shows he claims he hasn't watched despite calling it mid and only watching one episode when he was a little kid. >Claims that none of the shows deserved more than 2 seasons max despite not watching them. >Still loves modern SpongeBob and TTG. Fuck outta here.
The reason the show got less mean spirited and problematic was because Pamela Eells O’Connell, who’s made a career from this sense of humor from writing and producing The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, codeveloping and eventually show running The Suite Life on Deck and creating Jessie and Bunk’d, left the show along with the Ross siblings and other main characters in their last season except for Lou and the new kids. And the executive producers of GOOD shows, Good Luck Charlie and Andi Mack, were brought in to shepherd the show’s direction. Which is why some fans are extremely defensive about season 4 onwards. To them, it felt like the show earned all the season renewals. Which sounds great but I’m not interested in catching up to it right now. I care about The Villains of Valley View getting renewed at some point. It’s the last decent narrative driven live action show from either Disney or Nickelodeon left and the only one that isn’t a spin-off nor sequel series. It wouldn’t be fair if they pulled the plug just because one actor is booked for another role that’s ultimately temporary. I have read Disney Channel's subreddit discussing this, with a comment bringing up that she confirmed she has August all to herself. The only other live action kids show that’s had this long of a hiatus that I know of was The Bureau of Magical Things, which I watched and thought was pretty good but it’s from Australia and I don’t know any US kids network as patient as whatever channel that show was on.
i honestly think the show got more tolerable when the ross kids left and the mean spirited humor tone down sorry but i don't find characters being mean spirited assholes 24/7 funny it just makes me wanna punch them
@@Valentineatelier it made the show jessie unwatchable for i don't find characters being assholes 24/7 funny it just makes me want to punch them....that's why i think bunkd actually improved when the ross kids left i don't think its a coincidence that the mean spirited humor tone down when the ross kids left
@@AJ-xc4qe Gladys definitely feels like Miss Tutweiller from On Deck with how her lines tend to be about her perpetually unfulfilled love life (Emma, new to the camp, is snarking about it episode two!). There’s also Hazel’s Sierra from Total Drama level obsession with Xander, which although played for laughs and not treated seriously by everyone, who are fully aware, doesn’t work for comedy as it may have been thought to. The only possible explanation I can think of is that Hazel is the niece of the camp director, so she’s not getting any punishment or simply that Gladys is very selective of when she imposes authority and it’s usually when she’s jilted or inconvenienced.
Tbh, I liked Bunk'd at first when it was on Netflix, but the more I watched it and thought about it, it definitely felt like after the first or second season, I basically turned my brain off to watch it. So I'd it's it's alright, but definitely a one and done watch. I watched the first episode of season 6 on Netflix and I wasn't not that good, so I'm probably not gonna watch the rest of it, though I don't have a choice now cuz I canceled my Netflix subscription.
@@berniedavis6676 There’s Quinton Flynn, who watched every episode of iCarly, Victorious and Sam and Cat, or Keyon Carlisle, who has done full retrospectives on Lab Rats, Mighty Med, Lab Rats Elite Force, Wizards of Waverly Place and both Suite Life shows. And that was covering every episode plus looking at merchandise.
I keep seeing comments like why did they continue after the Ross kids from Jessie left. I don't remember if it was Zuri or Ravi but they said the contract they signed was only for 3 seasons. But probably Disney didn't want it to end and because it's summer camp just changed cast and I'm surprised they kept one main character from season 1.
The only reason Tiffany is there is because she lied to her mom it was a science camp and I only know that because I got a comment when I asked form Alex Mayer’s video still that doesn’t make sense because Y would you stress about your mom you doing well at camp witch wouldn’t matter since it not the camp she wanted her to go to
I was aged out of the target demographic when Bunk'd started, and have 0 emotional attachment to it. The fact it lasted this long having been a spin-off of a (I presume) previously popular show is wild. I low-key hope you reach your view goal because I'm curious what it is about this show that made it last this long. (I could watch for myself but as you said...that's 7 seasons and there's nothing in it for me if I watch it other than pure curiosity lol)
@@JASuper19 I remember I lost cable support in my house as a kid by the time bunk'd came around so I only remember like the first few episodes. I honestly didn't think the show would last very long but I'm just NOW learning from this video that its been running this entire time?? Like I haven't even heard of it again until now o_O
I love how some cast members like Kevin Quinn and Nina Lu are doing very well now! Kevin is a Christian Singer (I saw and met him at Winter Jam) and Nina is a Tiktoker who makes a lot of videos about the ignored racism towards Asians. And then we have Skai Jackson who is now pregnant, engaged, and IN JAILLLL.
21:55 I do hope that we do get that many views the only problems that I’m seeing this like a week after you made it and it just hit my side of the algorithm
Crazy I’m now in freshman high school and now seeing this on my feed. Been watching the show ever since elementary and now it ended but it had to since it started getting dry.
While I like the show, I also HATE the first episode. As someone who has watched every episode of Bunk'd, I can tell you that the pilot episode is the worst episode in the show. There are some other episodes of season 1 that are still pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as that one. And slowly but surely, the first season does improve a TINY bit. I think season 2 is also an improvement from season 1 - but again, the quality of season 2 is only slightly better than season 1. I think the storylines in season 2 are just a little bit more interesting/entertaining. However, I don't really like neither seasons 1 or 2 that much. I did like Emma and Xander's relationship - which yes, Emma and Xander actually become a couple and it actually is a significant plot line in the first two seasons. Believe it or not, their relationship gets WAY more development than Parker and Victoria's, despite the fact that they end up getting married lol. Anyways, while I did like the storyline with Emma and Xander's relationship, as well as the friendships that Lou had with Emma and Xander, I really didn't care that much for seasons 1 and 2. There are some good things about the first two seasons... but you also have to sit through a lot of mediocre and sometimes just really bad storylines as well. Season 3 is probably the weakest season of the show. I wouldn't say it's as atrociously bad like some of season 1 was and season 3 actually does a few things better than the first two seasons. But it also takes away the few good things that seasons 1 and 2 had as well and overall, season 3 is just a very boring season. The only great thing about season 3 is that we see how much Emma has developed as a character and that's about it. When season 4 started and I realized that the Jessie characters would no longer be on the show, I actually didn't care about it. While I did like Jessie, I mainly liked the show because of Jessie herself and Bertram. I never cared that much about Emma, Zuri, Luke, or Ravi and the quality of the writing in the first three seasons didn't make me care that much more about them either. But also, the show was just so much better once the Rosses left, so the Rosses leaving didn't matter that much to me like it did to everyone else. Season 4 is definitely the best season of the show, with season 5 being the second best season. Season 4 and season 5 was when Lou was at her best as a character, they gave Lou more interesting and relatable storylines during those seasons. Destiny and Matteo, who originally were in season 3, became much better characters starting in season 4. And the new characters like Gwen, Noah, and Ava are definitely better than characters like Zuri, Tiffany, and Jorge from seasons 1 and 2. I also preferred the humor of the seasons 4-7 over the mean-spirited humor in the first three seasons. Seasons 6 and 7, while not as good as seasons 4 and 5 in my opinion, were still good seasons and still were better than the first three seasons. Season 6 and 7 had some great aspects to them - Noah became the best and most hilarious character in season 6 and 7 - like seriously, his character improved SO much between season 5 and season 6. Destiny also became an even more amazing character in seasons 6 and 7 and Noah and Destiny's friendship in season 7 was the best too. I also like the wild west theme in seasons 6 and 7 and the new characters Jake, Bill, and Winnie were also good characters. Although, the second half of season 7 kinda disappointed me with a lot of storylines I just didn't care about - they really rushed Parker and Victoria as well as Lou and Ryder's relationships SO much and I'd honestly rather no romance than have two ships that were just incredibly rushed and ships where we barely got to see their relationship develop. Victoria, who marries Parker, was only in SIX episodes of the entire show, we barely get to see her character or get to know her as a character, and yet she still gets married to Parker??? And they actually had so much time to develop their relationship more, but they wasted so much time and just chose not to focus on their relationship despite the fact that they ended up getting married. Lou and Ryder surprisingly are a better ship than Parker and Victoria, despite being even more rushed, with Ryder only appearing in THREE episodes in the entire show. Again, I would've rather no romance if they just weren't going to do a great job with the ships. Aside from that and a few other criticisms I have, seasons 6 and 7 overall were still good and seasons 4 through 7 are MUCH better than the first three seasons. People are just nostalgic about the first two seasons, that's why everyone thinks they are better. I'm sure most of the people who complain that the show got terrible after the Jessie characters left didn't even bother to watch any of the episodes after they left. I wish more people gave seasons 4-7 an actual chance and stop being biased because of their nostalgia and actually see how the writing in the show became so much better. You may wonder why I watched every season of the show. Well, I had been watching the show for years before that, but it wasn't until last year that I started appreciating the show a lot more. I was going through a difficult time in my life, but watching this show was pretty much the only thing that made me happy for a while. I know it sounds incredibly silly, but it's true. I became a huge fan of the show after that and I spent over a year being a big fan of the show, until the second half of season 7 aired and then I found myself a bit disappointed with some of the writing decisions. I don't consider myself a big fan of the show anymore because of that, but I still really like the show. The series finale is basically like the the season 3 and season 5 finales combined into one with a wedding added into it, so I don't think the series finale was the best way they could've ended the show. However, I don't think it was bad, I think it was just an okay episode. But overall, I still really like Bunk'd and appreciate the show for how much it improved during and after season 4. I have a lot of good memories with watching the show and I would've never had those memories had the show ended in season 3, so I'm glad that I was able to enjoy most of seasons 4 through 7 of the series. When it comes to this show, I could talk for hours, but this comment is already long enough lol. Thanks for making this video Mr. Nostalgia, I hope you'll have a great day!
Noah and Destiny are my favorite characters in Bunk'd - not that anyone cares lol, but I just wanted to share who my favorite characters in the show are. My favorite characters used to be Lou and Parker, but I didn't like them as much during seasons 6 and 7. Noah and Destiny were DEFINITELY the best characters in the last two seasons. Noah is absolutely hilarious and he's such a fun character. And Destiny had so much character development, she went from only caring about pageants and fashion to becoming more passionate about saving the environment and activism/helping other people. And I can definitely relate to how much of a perfectionist she can be lol😂
I've BEEN saying that seasons 4-7 is better than the first three seasons, so I'm glad that both you and Alex Meyers are noticing how the quality in the series finale is much better than the pilot episode. I'm pretty sure that in a few years, people are going to recognize just how much better seasons 4-7 were. It really seems like the only reason people like the first three seasons more is because of nostalgia. I wish more people would realize how much better the writing is in the seasons where Lou becomes the main character, especially in seasons 4 and 5, because those seasons are the best seasons of the show in my opinion!
Bunkd becoming it own series after the ross siblings left reminded me so much of Different World when Lisa Bonet left the shows after season 1 turning Kadeem Haddirson and Jasmine Guy as the true mai stars and thank god it wasn't banned on tv & streaming after the cosby fiasco a decade ago
The first two season hold a special place in my heart, and I think because of it I’m a bit of a hater towards the newer season and have never watched them. I will say, as for Tiffany, she gets less uptight over the course of the first and second season thanks to zuri
Bunk’d premiered when I was 17. I was already aged out of the typical audience for a show like this, but I still wound up watching multiple episodes from its first season here and there. Like Jessie, I found all of the characters and jokes to be absolutely insufferable. Just hateful joke after hateful joke. Haha! The camp counselor is a sad, lonely woman. Haha! This character is stupid or unlikable! Haha! This character is gross and ugly! On and on and on and on and on. I never thought I’d critique a children’s sitcom for its morals, but Jessie and Bunk’d are vicious in terms of how often they’re punching down, and I worry how these kind of jokes could impact the kids watching. I’m glad to hear by the series finale that Bunk’d had toned down these elements. There’s room for ‘edgy’ humor is kid’s shows, but the level of harsh interactions between the kids on these shows was seriously off putting.
I can’t be the only one rapping the songs that are being played in the bg in my their head bruh “IM BETTER IM BETTER IM BETTER IM BETTER!-” “Sticking to the code, all these hoes for the streets-“ “Sydney Sweeney, Sydney Sweeney!-“
I think the note they ended bunk'd was perfect honestly. I like how the show managed to do a commentary on how miranda may (lou) has been rhe constant both in and out. Also matteo and gwen are the best ship in this show. While season 5's finale works better as the true ending to bunk'd, this wasn't far off in quality
I too only watched the first episode of Bunk'd. I think that it was part of a marathon where Disney was running all the pilots of the shows they had at the time. I didn't remember anything that happened in that episode, but some of the scenes you showed looked familiar to me, especially the bigfoot-looking creature at the end.
13:58 she did once in the shows fifth season. It wasn’t anything special. Keep things short Emma got nervous in the job she was doing and fled back to camp for a bit
This show is very strange. They made a Spin Off show to Jessie and they not only last longer than the original but the second half of that show is with out the characters from Jessie. Why?
Wednesday August 21st, 2024 Up Up and Away BUNK'D: Season 3, Episode 16(09/21/2018) Timmy: Hi, my name is Timmy, what's yours?

This is also Timmy's last speaking appearance/appearance as he is never seen or mentioned after the events of this episode.
I have watched almost every season except for 6 and 7. I wish that they could have ended it maybe in season 4 or 6 with people imagining with Lou, Noah, Destiny, and Parker would do once the camp would go worldwide. I wonder why they never actually had the camp go worldwide in at least season 2 or 3. They could have done more in the series.
This shows like odd squad. It goes through like three main cast changes. The Ross kids was not gonna lie the weakest part of the show. And then we have Ava and that crew which goes for the last part of Camp Kiki Waka. That was actually the best part in my opinion and then we have the final half which is Camp touc I think I might be saying that wrong and I that way you can just tell Disney was kind of like milking it but overall the characters fucking matured crazily which automatically gave it like a good ending so at this 21:01 when he says the latter half was better it most definitely was because the Ross kids, even though that they matured the jokes and shit was just so cringe and old and it just didn’t work but then season four up, which is without the Ross kids is great
No they changed the camp site after it got burned down in one of the early show parts finale by a candle I think season 2 finale I could be wrong though
I haven't watched this show since season 3 ended which was the last season that involved the Ross siblings as main characters. The moment they left, Bunk'd ended for me. Not even their returning as recurring characters increase my interest. It's absolutely insane how this series went as long as they possibly could, even more than Jessie. Who even is watching this series right now?
I stopped watching bunkd around the time when they had a crossover ep with ravens home i recognise most of the cast beside the guy from zombies, his wife and Lou’s boyfriend
If do you go off the deep end for a full retrospective then you should do a list of the ways Hazel harasses Xander. I find it hard to believe this was considered comedy even nine years ago. Even though Hazel isn’t validated in her position it’s still not behaviour you want kids, pre and early teens to mimic.

Bunk’d was certainly an interesting show. Each individual season pretty much felt like a different show because of all the cast changes. Well, actually, the first two seasons had the same cast, and seasons 6 and 7 had the same cast. Also, you said you didn’t expect Peyton List to come back. She actually did come back in the first episode of season 5. You also said you didn’t think the Kikiwaka would be referenced after the first episode. There was actually an episode in season 1 where Ravi and Tiffany encounter the Kikiwaka and they try to prove to everyone that the Kikiwaka exists, and the Kikiwaka was in an episode in season 3 too. I think it would’ve been fine if Bunk’d got cancelled after season 2, to be honest. But I think the reason why they decided to make more seasons was because the show got really popular on Netflix. I don’t know that for sure though. This was another great video, keep it up 👍😊
@@jakobwhite730 I think the Kikiwaka appeared in the season 3 finale which imo is more of a reason as to why the show should’ve ended there
@@RealogOnlyBrodie yeah, the Kikiwaka did appear in the season 3 finale, I remember. I think the show should’ve ended at season 2 or season 3, or maybe even season 5 before the setting of the show changed to Kikiwaka Ranch
I think the direction they went post season 3 was the best decision for the long haul to keep the show going in a way that made sense. Lou loves the camp and she found her love for teaching there. It made sense for the Ross's to sell it to her.
@@darwinbowman8512 yeah, you’re right, it did make sense. But it didn’t make sense when the setting of the show changed to Kikiwaka Ranch. I thought the seasons at Kikiwaka Ranch were stupid. The show should’ve ended before Kikiwaka Ranch was introduced
Show went from a less interesting Jessie sequel due to Luke being gone to just it's own weird thing for the next gen of actors. Early part always sorta interesting but a camp is limited on ideas
@@ivanbluecool I feel like Luke was the only one of the kids from the Jessie cast that could’ve carried his own show within the same universe. He’s the only relatable Ross kid despite being rich. I could’ve seen a Luke and Ravi spin-off where they went to like a boarding school or something but that would’ve been too similar to Zack and Cody.
@@RealogOnlyBrodie yeah but he was probably busy with descendants before passing away. His bunkd episode was tbe best though
@@RealogOnlyBrodiewell he was offered to lead his own show which is an opportunity he had to take and I think he was filming Descendants around that time
@@ivanbluecoolhe was doing gamers guide to pretty much everything and descendants too around that time
@@RealogOnlyBrodiewait that boarding school plot could’ve been interesting
Ngl that Wizards reboot needs a Endgame like crossover because no way Bunk’d will end the Disney Channel Universe off with this mid 😤
Well Raven’s home is getting a spin off
@@skibot9974 yeah, it just hasn’t been picked up officially by Disney as a series yet that’s why I didn’t mention it
I still can believe this show went on for as long as it did. And now with it's finale, this actually closes the door on the world that started all the way from Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
This universe still isn't over. A Wizards of Waverly Place sequel show is coming out soon.
@@SecretMagician Yeah I get that the crossover universe is continuing, I just directly mean Suite of Zack and Cody because the creators of Bunkd, Jessie and Suite Life on Deck got started there as a writer.
Is suite life In this uni??
Honestly the show should’ve been done when the Ross kids left after the 3rd season
Fr tbh.
The show was originally going to end after the Ross kids left. But the show was apparently so popular on Netflix that they decided to renew it for another season
Honestly that’s exactly when I stopped watching. Only came back when Emma returned and then left again😂
Parker and Victoria's actors are dancers in real life, had just got married irl, and met doing a teen dance show together called The Next Step :) I love mentioning this fact on videos like this cause it's funny to see people meet Trevor (and Jordan) in stuff like Bunk'D and Zombies while I and many others met them through TNS yearsss ago haha.
@@dancingsun2 I know him from Zombies but he I could tell he is a professional dancer cause damnn
Me in 2015: oh yeah the kids from Jessie and some other guys
Me right now: WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!
iirc i think Tiffany had a small arc of learning to be less stressed about her grades (as much as you can do in a show like this) though not by too much (her mother appears in an episode and has a development arc believe it or not revealing she gained her tendencies from her own mother)
13 days it’s been since it went off the air
Miranda and the cast miss it so much it makes them want to do it all over again
i cant believe i never noticed that glady is freddy's mom from icarly and i used to watch this show all the time.
It's crazy that this show has only one character that was in all seven seasons of this show.
i respect her for getting that bag
Actually, Bunk'd (including Bunk'd: Learning the Ropes) has 161 episodes, not 109, so you'll have to watch 159 episodes if you do end up doing a Bunk'd retrospective😂
Parker and Victoria's actors are pro dancers they even acted in this Canadian series called The Next Step about dancers.
Emma was in season 5 episode 1 she left for molding and then Parker Preston played by bucky in zombies and meg as well when I watched the last season it was heartbreaking because they focused on their future just like raven's home
I wonder if changing the setting, and thus the name, was to exploit a contract loophole by Disney Channel. Or if it was a way to revitalise the show since this happened at season 6.
parker comes from a RICH family in season five (he is from the family that started the camp so there’s conflict with him accommodating to wildlife as well as owning the camp since lou finally got ownership that season!!) i believe…his actor started on the next step which is a canadian dance show and that’s where he met his wife jordan who he married in bunk’d, but also last year they legit married!! or maybe 2022…anyways he (trevor who plays parker) is also in zombies!! his wife and him are trained and professional dancers, hence why they danced like that at the end!! his wife jordan actually won or at least participated in so you think you can dance season 2 i believe!!
Thanks for the info
fun fact the two characters who got married on the show also got married in real life and were apart of the family (i guess a subsidiary of Disney channel) show 'the next step'!!! it was very popular, at least in Canada and im pretty sure its still running its on its 9th season
favorite dancers on next step back when I watch it.
Not a part of Disney at all. That’s why My Babysitter’s a Vampire was cancelled actually😊
@@crimson_sky is that on the family channel. is next step still going
on and that was on family.
13:54 technically she did. From what I heard she was in a season 5 episode. I imagine she reluctantly agreed to do that
i think she only did it because im pretty sure she directed that episode
@@tysangels no she didn’t. Karan directed an episode tho
@@incrediblekeenan1751 really? i remember her saying that she did direct one... but i'll take your word for it
It feels like the Tiffany character might’ve had a bit of racial stereotyping behind it in that first episode…
Nah Xander and Emma full on date from halfway through season one until the end of season 2 when he leaves
Interesting
Oh and the Kikiwaka appears in multiple episodes in the future as the a-plot
with it's son
And then Emma literally never mentions him the season she's there and he's not.
The way I see it, Bunk'd has the same, more or less, character arc as SpongeBob and Teen Titans Go. They slowly but surely become the biggest show on the network with the biggest ratings (as far as cable at the time goes and especially on streaming) even in spite of a long flop era of bad episodes and bad seasons. Making a majority of viewers hate the show and even some diehard fans admitting that maybe the show should end. Instead, the channel not only floods the schedule with almost nothing but that show, they renew the show for more seasons enough times that it becomes the longest running show in the history of that channel. Making the haters hate the show even more and even pointing at it as a scapegoat for the channel's downfall. Even though that's the channel's own fault and not the fault of people who are just doing their jobs making a single tv show.
At least with Nick and Cartoon Network, they don't limit how long a show lasts, but Disney Channel used to enforce a 65 episode limit even with their most successful shows which is bad enough. But then, you think of all the shows that were more deserving of lasting 5+ seasons.
Lizzie McGuire (the original and the Disney+ revival)
Wander Over Yonder
Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
The Spectacular Spider-Man
Sydney to the Max
Motorcity
Andi Mack
Tron: Uprising
Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion
The Ghost and Molly McGee
Secrets of Sulphur Springs
The Owl House
Kick Buttowski
DuckTales
How sad is it that out of all those shows that could’ve lived long enough for us to watch its’ young characters graduate from high school (I know some characters from these shows didn’t go to school but still) the only one ended up being Raven’s Home where we got to see at least Booker graduate from high school because most of the cast members’ contracts were already up because the show lasted that long!?!?!
Even after they eventually redeem themselves with great episodes and even great seasons, many people look at the show as an example of Disney Channel's favoritism and neglect of shows that could've gotten that same respect.
eh i never watched the owl house, the ghost and molly mcgee, tron uprising, motorcity, or any of the animated marvel shows, i hated sulphur springs, i thought kick buttowski was mid at best(to be fair i watched like 1 episode as a kid lmao), and i stopped liking andi mack when i realized ash*r angel is a shit person, and no one will ever change my mind and force me to give any of those a chance or 2nd chance(the only one of those i could ever be willing to possibly give a chance is ig kick buttowski lmao), so ion think any of those deserved past like 1-2 seasons lmfao(imma jus say kick buttowski deserved however long it aired ion know but its the most tolerable of the shows i said ion fw outta that list)i also honestly still like spongebob and teen titans go💀 but i do think that bunkd went to shit after season 3, and i like the other shows mentioned(ravens home, ducktales, sydney to the max, lizzie mcguire, wander over yonder, ultra violet & black scorpion)lmao

Fuck outta here.
@@chrisrockett5897Honestly, I still kinda like modern SpongeBob. But everything else? Yeah, I agree with you.
@@justanormalguy563 Yeah, I enjoy bits and pieces of them too but bro's tweaking.
The reason the show got less mean spirited and problematic was because Pamela Eells O’Connell, who’s made a career from this sense of humor from writing and producing The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, codeveloping and eventually show running The Suite Life on Deck and creating Jessie and Bunk’d, left the show along with the Ross siblings and other main characters in their last season except for Lou and the new kids. And the executive producers of GOOD shows, Good Luck Charlie and Andi Mack, were brought in to shepherd the show’s direction. Which is why some fans are extremely defensive about season 4 onwards. To them, it felt like the show earned all the season renewals.
Which sounds great but I’m not interested in catching up to it right now. I care about The Villains of Valley View getting renewed at some point. It’s the last decent narrative driven live action show from either Disney or Nickelodeon left and the only one that isn’t a spin-off nor sequel series. It wouldn’t be fair if they pulled the plug just because one actor is booked for another role that’s ultimately temporary.
I have read Disney Channel's subreddit discussing this, with a comment bringing up that she confirmed she has August all to herself. The only other live action kids show that’s had this long of a hiatus that I know of was The Bureau of Magical Things, which I watched and thought was pretty good but it’s from Australia and I don’t know any US kids network as patient as whatever channel that show was on.
i honestly think the show got more tolerable when the ross kids left and the mean spirited humor tone down sorry but i don't find characters being mean spirited assholes 24/7 funny it just makes me wanna punch them
I DO remember all those shows being really mean spirited 😭 that makes perfect sense
@@Valentineatelier it made the show jessie unwatchable for i don't find characters being assholes 24/7 funny it just makes me want to punch them....that's why i think bunkd actually improved when the ross kids left i don't think its a coincidence that the mean spirited humor tone down when the ross kids left
@@AJ-xc4qe Gladys definitely feels like Miss Tutweiller from On Deck with how her lines tend to be about her perpetually unfulfilled love life (Emma, new to the camp, is snarking about it episode two!). There’s also Hazel’s Sierra from Total Drama level obsession with Xander, which although played for laughs and not treated seriously by everyone, who are fully aware, doesn’t work for comedy as it may have been thought to. The only possible explanation I can think of is that Hazel is the niece of the camp director, so she’s not getting any punishment or simply that Gladys is very selective of when she imposes authority and it’s usually when she’s jilted or inconvenienced.
@@Valentineatelier They really weren't.
Tbh, I liked Bunk'd at first when it was on Netflix, but the more I watched it and thought about it, it definitely felt like after the first or second season, I basically turned my brain off to watch it. So I'd it's it's alright, but definitely a one and done watch. I watched the first episode of season 6 on Netflix and I wasn't not that good, so I'm probably not gonna watch the rest of it, though I don't have a choice now cuz I canceled my Netflix subscription.
Mr Nostalgia is gonna pull an L S Mark and watch every episode of bunk'd. may Celestia have mercy on him.
@@berniedavis6676 There’s Quinton Flynn, who watched every episode of iCarly, Victorious and Sam and Cat, or Keyon Carlisle, who has done full retrospectives on Lab Rats, Mighty Med, Lab Rats Elite Force, Wizards of Waverly Place and both Suite Life shows. And that was covering every episode plus looking at merchandise.
This show somehow went from a Jessie spinoff to a The Next Step spinoff.
I was gonna say, somehow James and Giselle get married? Granted I quit TNS like halfway through, so for all I know they are married in that show too.
@@anony-missy nah James and Riley are still together in TNS. But the actors for James and Giselle are together IRL.
@@dangerbuffrocky Oh well that makes sense then for why they’d have her play his wife.
I keep seeing comments like why did they continue after the Ross kids from Jessie left. I don't remember if it was Zuri or Ravi but they said the contract they signed was only for 3 seasons. But probably Disney didn't want it to end and because it's summer camp just changed cast and I'm surprised they kept one main character from season 1.
Can’t believe I’m seeing Mr. Nostalgia offering to sell his soul to Bunk’d happening in real time.
4:54 Xander and Emma actually dated until xander left the show
The only reason Tiffany is there is because she lied to her mom it was a science camp and I only know that because I got a comment when I asked form Alex Mayer’s video still that doesn’t make sense because Y would you stress about your mom you doing well at camp witch wouldn’t matter since it not the camp she wanted her to go to
Anyone thinks it was a waste not to have Jessie appear in one Episode ?
I was aged out of the target demographic when Bunk'd started, and have 0 emotional attachment to it. The fact it lasted this long having been a spin-off of a (I presume) previously popular show is wild. I low-key hope you reach your view goal because I'm curious what it is about this show that made it last this long. (I could watch for myself but as you said...that's 7 seasons and there's nothing in it for me if I watch it other than pure curiosity lol)
@@JASuper19 I remember I lost cable support in my house as a kid by the time bunk'd came around so I only remember like the first few episodes. I honestly didn't think the show would last very long but I'm just NOW learning from this video that its been running this entire time?? Like I haven't even heard of it again until now o_O
Words can not describe how much I want a Bunkd retrospective
I love how some cast members like Kevin Quinn and Nina Lu are doing very well now! Kevin is a Christian Singer (I saw and met him at Winter Jam) and Nina is a Tiktoker who makes a lot of videos about the ignored racism towards Asians. And then we have Skai Jackson who is now pregnant, engaged, and IN JAILLLL.
Check out Kevin's podcast episode with Mighty Med duo (Bradley and Jake) it is honestly great
21:55 I do hope that we do get that many views the only problems that I’m seeing this like a week after you made it and it just hit my side of the algorithm
Crazy I’m now in freshman high school and now seeing this on my feed. Been watching the show ever since elementary and now it ended but it had to since it started getting dry.
same
Omg yall are so young
Me from late elementary school to now college in 2 weeks lol…
Not that crazy your pretty young
Same
Emma and Xander actually had a relationship until Kevin Quinn left the show which was at the end of the second season
While I like the show, I also HATE the first episode. As someone who has watched every episode of Bunk'd, I can tell you that the pilot episode is the worst episode in the show. There are some other episodes of season 1 that are still pretty bad, but not nearly as bad as that one. And slowly but surely, the first season does improve a TINY bit. I think season 2 is also an improvement from season 1 - but again, the quality of season 2 is only slightly better than season 1. I think the storylines in season 2 are just a little bit more interesting/entertaining. However, I don't really like neither seasons 1 or 2 that much. I did like Emma and Xander's relationship - which yes, Emma and Xander actually become a couple and it actually is a significant plot line in the first two seasons. Believe it or not, their relationship gets WAY more development than Parker and Victoria's, despite the fact that they end up getting married lol. Anyways, while I did like the storyline with Emma and Xander's relationship, as well as the friendships that Lou had with Emma and Xander, I really didn't care that much for seasons 1 and 2. There are some good things about the first two seasons... but you also have to sit through a lot of mediocre and sometimes just really bad storylines as well. Season 3 is probably the weakest season of the show. I wouldn't say it's as atrociously bad like some of season 1 was and season 3 actually does a few things better than the first two seasons. But it also takes away the few good things that seasons 1 and 2 had as well and overall, season 3 is just a very boring season. The only great thing about season 3 is that we see how much Emma has developed as a character and that's about it.
When season 4 started and I realized that the Jessie characters would no longer be on the show, I actually didn't care about it. While I did like Jessie, I mainly liked the show because of Jessie herself and Bertram. I never cared that much about Emma, Zuri, Luke, or Ravi and the quality of the writing in the first three seasons didn't make me care that much more about them either. But also, the show was just so much better once the Rosses left, so the Rosses leaving didn't matter that much to me like it did to everyone else. Season 4 is definitely the best season of the show, with season 5 being the second best season. Season 4 and season 5 was when Lou was at her best as a character, they gave Lou more interesting and relatable storylines during those seasons. Destiny and Matteo, who originally were in season 3, became much better characters starting in season 4. And the new characters like Gwen, Noah, and Ava are definitely better than characters like Zuri, Tiffany, and Jorge from seasons 1 and 2. I also preferred the humor of the seasons 4-7 over the mean-spirited humor in the first three seasons.
Seasons 6 and 7, while not as good as seasons 4 and 5 in my opinion, were still good seasons and still were better than the first three seasons. Season 6 and 7 had some great aspects to them - Noah became the best and most hilarious character in season 6 and 7 - like seriously, his character improved SO much between season 5 and season 6. Destiny also became an even more amazing character in seasons 6 and 7 and Noah and Destiny's friendship in season 7 was the best too. I also like the wild west theme in seasons 6 and 7 and the new characters Jake, Bill, and Winnie were also good characters. Although, the second half of season 7 kinda disappointed me with a lot of storylines I just didn't care about - they really rushed Parker and Victoria as well as Lou and Ryder's relationships SO much and I'd honestly rather no romance than have two ships that were just incredibly rushed and ships where we barely got to see their relationship develop. Victoria, who marries Parker, was only in SIX episodes of the entire show, we barely get to see her character or get to know her as a character, and yet she still gets married to Parker??? And they actually had so much time to develop their relationship more, but they wasted so much time and just chose not to focus on their relationship despite the fact that they ended up getting married. Lou and Ryder surprisingly are a better ship than Parker and Victoria, despite being even more rushed, with Ryder only appearing in THREE episodes in the entire show. Again, I would've rather no romance if they just weren't going to do a great job with the ships.
Aside from that and a few other criticisms I have, seasons 6 and 7 overall were still good and seasons 4 through 7 are MUCH better than the first three seasons. People are just nostalgic about the first two seasons, that's why everyone thinks they are better. I'm sure most of the people who complain that the show got terrible after the Jessie characters left didn't even bother to watch any of the episodes after they left. I wish more people gave seasons 4-7 an actual chance and stop being biased because of their nostalgia and actually see how the writing in the show became so much better. You may wonder why I watched every season of the show. Well, I had been watching the show for years before that, but it wasn't until last year that I started appreciating the show a lot more. I was going through a difficult time in my life, but watching this show was pretty much the only thing that made me happy for a while. I know it sounds incredibly silly, but it's true. I became a huge fan of the show after that and I spent over a year being a big fan of the show, until the second half of season 7 aired and then I found myself a bit disappointed with some of the writing decisions. I don't consider myself a big fan of the show anymore because of that, but I still really like the show. The series finale is basically like the the season 3 and season 5 finales combined into one with a wedding added into it, so I don't think the series finale was the best way they could've ended the show. However, I don't think it was bad, I think it was just an okay episode. But overall, I still really like Bunk'd and appreciate the show for how much it improved during and after season 4. I have a lot of good memories with watching the show and I would've never had those memories had the show ended in season 3, so I'm glad that I was able to enjoy most of seasons 4 through 7 of the series. When it comes to this show, I could talk for hours, but this comment is already long enough lol. Thanks for making this video Mr. Nostalgia, I hope you'll have a great day!
Um how old are you if you don't mind me asking?
Fun fact: Hazel's actor has a youtube channel and unlike her character she is a sweetheart IRL.
Weird that DC’s longest sitcom was this random one and not one of the classics - still crazy to me that DC still exists tho
Hey Mr Nostalgia! Any news on that Teen Beach video? Cant't wait for it. Love your videos
First 15 mins r edited. Other half will b edited soon. Been on vacation
Noah and Destiny are my favorite characters in Bunk'd - not that anyone cares lol, but I just wanted to share who my favorite characters in the show are. My favorite characters used to be Lou and Parker, but I didn't like them as much during seasons 6 and 7. Noah and Destiny were DEFINITELY the best characters in the last two seasons. Noah is absolutely hilarious and he's such a fun character. And Destiny had so much character development, she went from only caring about pageants and fashion to becoming more passionate about saving the environment and activism/helping other people. And I can definitely relate to how much of a perfectionist she can be lol😂
2:38 please please PLEASE GOSHDANG PLEASE MAKE A SHOW ABOUT GAMER'S GUIDE TO PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING PLEASEE
I've BEEN saying that seasons 4-7 is better than the first three seasons, so I'm glad that both you and Alex Meyers are noticing how the quality in the series finale is much better than the pilot episode. I'm pretty sure that in a few years, people are going to recognize just how much better seasons 4-7 were. It really seems like the only reason people like the first three seasons more is because of nostalgia. I wish more people would realize how much better the writing is in the seasons where Lou becomes the main character, especially in seasons 4 and 5, because those seasons are the best seasons of the show in my opinion!
Bunkd becoming it own series after the ross siblings left reminded me so much of Different World when Lisa Bonet left the shows after season 1 turning Kadeem Haddirson and Jasmine Guy as the true mai stars and thank god it wasn't banned on tv & streaming after the cosby fiasco a decade ago
Fr, that show rocked.
I couldn’t even get past the first episode of this show. It’s mind boggling that it lasted almost 9 years
Didn't realize Payton was the older girl from Jessie, i just saw her as my favorite character from Cobra Kai.
The first two season hold a special place in my heart, and I think because of it I’m a bit of a hater towards the newer season and have never watched them.
I will say, as for Tiffany, she gets less uptight over the course of the first and second season thanks to zuri
I never fully watched bunk’s but I vaguely rember a plot were they get a weekend with their phones
Bunk’d premiered when I was 17. I was already aged out of the typical audience for a show like this, but I still wound up watching multiple episodes from its first season here and there. Like Jessie, I found all of the characters and jokes to be absolutely insufferable. Just hateful joke after hateful joke.
Haha! The camp counselor is a sad, lonely woman. Haha! This character is stupid or unlikable! Haha! This character is gross and ugly! On and on and on and on and on.
I never thought I’d critique a children’s sitcom for its morals, but Jessie and Bunk’d are vicious in terms of how often they’re punching down, and I worry how these kind of jokes could impact the kids watching. I’m glad to hear by the series finale that Bunk’d had toned down these elements. There’s room for ‘edgy’ humor is kid’s shows, but the level of harsh interactions between the kids on these shows was seriously off putting.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks Jorge is a Woody copy cat. He straight up uses lines woody said on suite life
Now I have to watch the 1st and last episode of Zeke and Luther
I can’t be the only one rapping the songs that are being played in the bg in my their head bruh
“IM BETTER IM BETTER IM BETTER IM BETTER!-”
“Sticking to the code, all these hoes for the streets-“
“Sydney Sweeney, Sydney Sweeney!-“
OMG IS A NEW VIDEO FROM THE KICKN IT GUY AAAAAHHHHHH
No he’s the zeek and Luther guy
I think the note they ended bunk'd was perfect honestly. I like how the show managed to do a commentary on how miranda may (lou) has been rhe constant both in and out. Also matteo and gwen are the best ship in this show. While season 5's finale works better as the true ending to bunk'd, this wasn't far off in quality
I too only watched the first episode of Bunk'd. I think that it was part of a marathon where Disney was running all the pilots of the shows they had at the time. I didn't remember anything that happened in that episode, but some of the scenes you showed looked familiar to me, especially the bigfoot-looking creature at the end.
Lou got thick, in between the first and last episode😳
disney sitcoms fell off after 2014
you say it's not funny but watching the scene where they try and scare off the creature on 1.5 speed had me wheezing😭
Bro I honestly thought Jessie would make a cameo in Bunk’d. But I lost hope after the Ross kids left 😔.
13:58 she did once in the shows fifth season. It wasn’t anything special. Keep things short Emma got nervous in the job she was doing and fled back to camp for a bit
Disney sitcoms are just hard to watch now, especially when you’re getting older.
This show is very strange. They made a Spin Off show to Jessie and they not only last longer than the original but the second half of that show is with out the characters from Jessie. Why?

Up Up and Away
BUNK'D: Season 3, Episode 16(09/21/2018)
Timmy: Hi, my name is Timmy, what's yours?
Doug: Doug
Timmy: I've given up on ever getting into Camp Kikiwaka, do you guys wanna be friends?
Doug: Friend
*Timmy: Thanks
*The last word of season 3. This is also Timmy's last speaking appearance/appearance as he is never seen or mentioned after the events of this episode.
I have watched almost every season except for 6 and 7. I wish that they could have ended it maybe in season 4 or 6 with people imagining with Lou, Noah, Destiny, and Parker would do once the camp would go worldwide. I wonder why they never actually had the camp go worldwide in at least season 2 or 3. They could have done more in the series.
This shows like odd squad. It goes through like three main cast changes. The Ross kids was not gonna lie the weakest part of the show. And then we have Ava and that crew which goes for the last part of Camp Kiki Waka. That was actually the best part in my opinion and then we have the final half which is Camp touc I think I might be saying that wrong and I that way you can just tell Disney was kind of like milking it but overall the characters fucking matured crazily which automatically gave it like a good ending so at this 21:01 when he says the latter half was better it most definitely was because the Ross kids, even though that they matured the jokes and shit was just so cringe and old and it just didn’t work but then season four up, which is without the Ross kids is great
The guy that played Parker was also on that dance drama show the Next Step is why he dances so well
That shitty fake grass being all torn up when we cut the last episode made me laughhhh
My question is, why are there no actual kids in the last episode?! It looks like they're all late teens/adults 🤔
No they changed the camp site after it got burned down in one of the early show parts finale by a candle I think season 2 finale I could be wrong though
6:09 LMFAO 😂😂😂 the best part of the video
it does actually fuck me up a little to think that anyone on earth was watching this television show
"at least someone in the Jessie franchise gets married" 💀
I haven't watched this show since season 3 ended which was the last season that involved the Ross siblings as main characters. The moment they left, Bunk'd ended for me. Not even their returning as recurring characters increase my interest. It's absolutely insane how this series went as long as they possibly could, even more than Jessie. Who even is watching this series right now?
Peyton List was definitely never coming back! Saki Jackson is in jail! Ravi just didn’t care to come back!
Break it down in groups Seasons 1 2 and 3 then 4 5 6 and 7
It makes it way more entertaining knowing all these random characters are technically in the mcu
people who still loves bunked even after its death
Trevor and Jordan are actual professional dancers. They danced on the show of the next step. And they're actually a couple.
James and Giselle

I'm commenting so you can make the Bunk'd video. We boosting this one boys!
I stopped watching bunkd around the time when they had a crossover ep with ravens home i recognise most of the cast beside the guy from zombies, his wife and Lou’s boyfriend
Not Parked being Bucky 💀
Bunkds fall off needs to be studied 😔
17:30 those clouds aren’t even MOVINGGGGGGG
For this show to run for 10 years on Disney is wild
Xander left after the 2nd season him and Emma started dating in season 1
18:55 Well their was on show called the next step! Which was about dancing!
Have u never seen the next step
I can't believe my dumbass use to like this show. Now looking back YIKES
If do you go off the deep end for a full retrospective then you should do a list of the ways Hazel harasses Xander. I find it hard to believe this was considered comedy even nine years ago. Even though Hazel isn’t validated in her position it’s still not behaviour you want kids, pre and early teens to mimic.
