Sorry to say it but Hannah Montana was a copy or really inspired by that’s so Raven that’s so Raven was really popping in the early 2000s even broke records for Disney channel Hannah Montana was just a white version of raven if you look closely they had so many similarities 2 girls hiding a secret both loved to disguise themselves, both fathers was more in their life , they had 2 best friend a boy and a girl ,also had Stanley and Rico was basically a Stanley for Hannah Montana I felt they did Hannah Montana cause how raven was so successful
@@SoSaD-gl5xe it’s not copy of That’s So Raven. The same man that created Hannah Montana, is the same man that created That’s So Raven. Plus, Rico is Hispanic not white.
@@JoyOgbatue are you slow ? like I said they were really inspire by Raven and like It or not they were a lot of similarities in that show and for me he still white
@@JoyOgbatue and you just say it yourself lmao the same man that created Hannah Montana is the same man that created that’s so raven lmao well are you that slow ? 💀
Tbh once the original cast left the show, it was time to cancel it. Disney wanted to use Bunk’d as a quick cash grab because they knew they didn’t really have anything else carrying the brand besides Ravens Home. But like you said the idea of this show is genius because the revolving cast aspect is something Disney never thought to do.
I can see why it got cancelled. Disney Channel is now focusing more on animated programming than live-action nowadays. This was a good change because their live-action stuff did went stale after K.C. Undercover. (With some exceptions)
They never thought to do it even tho Dylan and Cole Sprouse literally suggested it to them when they wanted to continue Suite Life for another season. Disney decided against it and just cancelled it without a proper series finale.
@@kootunesscrewy huh? Considering they cancelled their biggest animated property, Owl House, I’m surprised. I thought they didn’t want animation anymore. Maybe after the success of the show and their failure to capitalize on it, they “learned their lesson”. Too late imo, I hope the channel dies for its sins lol
Lol true, even Friends' spin off, Joey only had like 2 year show run then got cancelled compare to Friends which had 10 year run and successfully ended in a satisfying note
The only other show I can think of that laster longer was family matters as it was a spinoff of perfect strangers and that only had like 3 seasons I think and family matters had 9
Honestly, the idea of Bunk’d being able to go on indefinitely by just cycling actors is kinda big brained. Wouldn’t be surprised if Disney tries that strategy again with a new show
The sprouse twins pitched that idea to Disney with their pitch for Suite Life to be a revolving door with a new kid in the Tipton hotel every few seasons. Disney laughed in their face and pitched the same idea back to them a few weeks later. It’s kind of like Disney put their idea to use later down the line except they used the camp instead of the Tipton hotel.
@@RealogOnlyBrodiein a sense they did kinda take up the Sprouse twins ideas with Jessie only instead of a revolving cast the went with a different cast but in the same scenario
Season 5 and 6 of bunkd had to be the worst I didn’t even bother watching it because most of the cast are gone. No Ross kids, No finn and no Mateo. They just gave us some random kids.
To be honest I stopped watching after Finn Matteo Gwen and Ava left the only reasons why I watched season five is because Gwen came back the other reason why I watched season six is because Finn came back but other than that after season five ended I stopped watching now I’m looking forward to watching it again since Gwen Finn Matteo and Ava are coming back for the series finale
my hot take is season 4 is the best season (followed by 2). 1 is overrated and 3 was bad. But season 5 started strong till parker (or whatever the guy was called came) and the 2nd half of season 5 was horrible. 6 was where i gave up, I could live with the ross kids going but no Ava and mateo was painful to watch. Another take is the reason i find the ross kids overrated in bunked is Zuri was just derailed to the ground,Ravi was made to look even weaker, although he had good moments. Emma was the only one who actually got heavily improved from Jesse and wished stayed.
For me, Bunk'd ended at season 3. The moment the Ross Siblings weren't the main characters anymore as season 3 was their last appearance as the leads, that's where i quit the show. It was meant to be a Jessie spin off in the first place that i liked at first, now it just feels like a stand alone show with a bunch of characters that i couldn't even bother to care unless the Ross Siblings were there as the leads
Plus, with Cameron Boyce's death, it didn't feel the same knowing one of the Ross siblings can never come back, and I wish the show got cancelled sooner.
I feel like Lou isn’t even the same character anymore, they just wanted to keep one og character on there so they kept her name and face (and she’s from the county I guess) then called it a day
When they brought back Hazel (who was a rival to Emma) it felt awkward and pointless because both of the characters she had interesting relationships with were gone by that point even her actress said that Hazel's return felt weird for the same reason
I didn't even realize BUNK'D was still running. I was still in high school when this show premiere, now I finished college and this show was still going. At least it got 7 seasons, not many disney shows get that opportunity.
Not many Disney shows get that opportunity for sure but I think it's at best like that to not overstay it's welcome unlike Bunk'd. Probably the only show that I wish get more seasons or a spin off show is Good Luck Charlie
@@800Ms-k6n Yeah, many shows don't need 7-10 seasons, at least BUNK'D gets the chance to end on its' own terms. Like the saying goes "All good things must come to an end".
@@dannyphantom3090that’s cause they get a 3 season contract and when that comes up for renewal they usually cancel the show like girl meets world or they massively retool it like the suite life of zack and Cody that became the sweet life on deck cause if they retool the show they can technically renew it under the new title and keep paying the cast members that return same salary cause the Disney channel isn’t willing to let the shows grow up with it’s audience like a show like boy meets world did cause I got to grow up with it in the 90’s
@@kevin10001oh yeah Joey Bragg the actor who played Joey Rooney on Liv and Maddie mentioned that Disney changes the name of the 4th season to something subtitle bc it’s a “new” show so they pay the full amount but Disney supposedly kept swapping campers (actors) except I think like 5-6 characters so they got away with not paying as much I guess
what’s crazy is we’ve seen Raven for 10 seasons now. The last episode of season 6 of Raven’s Home did feel like a series finale to me. Raven getting her fashion dream and keeping the OG house, Booker going to college, Victor moving away to London with Tanya
Raven's Home deserves another season, but it definitely doesn't need one. The last episode was a good and satisfying finale. Other than following Booker's life at college, I don't see what direction another season would even go in.
7 seasons?! Disney really has to learn to not milk a franchise or TV show for just money. Freaking 7 SEASONS?!?! Why not give other show ideas a chance in the spotlight?
7 seasons for a jessie spin off that lost all the characters from the show yet the owl house was forced to be shortened cus it "didn't fit the Disney brand"
I liked how in Zuri’s interview Jenna Ortega was just chilling in the background, back when she was only on Stuck In The Middle and before Wednesday happened.
@@eclipsed-oracle Jenna was the whole reason they didn't butch Wednesday's character any further, had she been allowed more input the entire show wouldn't have sucked so much. Due to the show's success, and everyone realizing Jenna was right all along, I'm almost certain season 2 will be better. I didn't like the show either, but when season 2 arrives I'll give it a try the first episode to see how it is and make my final choice then.
I feel like calling it a cult following is not exactly right. I think the only reason you might not have heard about it is either A: You don't run in the same circles where that news would come up, or B: The people who watch it just don't feel like posting about it online. To me at least, a cult following is when a smaller number of groups are entirely dedicated towards the show. I think what happened here is that the kids cycle out of watching and not watching the show.
@@turnipcrazy I think what it is is that kids have kinda stopped watching cable TV compared to when this show first released. As such, the show has been buried underneath all of the pop-culture of Internet and movies so unless you're in the circle you mentioned then you're not going to know. For example, I don't watch nickelodeon or paramount+ as I've grown up, yet I still know rugrats had a Reboot without being anywhere near that circle.
Didn't Disney Channel had that 65 episode rule? And yet Good Luck Charlie (correct me if i'm wrong) was the first show that broke the rule so because of that, it applies to basically every show that came after GLC
@@800Ms-k6nactually, the 65 episode rule was broken before Good Luck Charlie. The first Disney Channel show to go past 65 episodes was That’s So Raven.
man i wish they cared that much back in the early early 2000s when the shows were really well written and clever. American Dragon got 2 seasons, Kim Possible was canceled and only came back by popular demand for a fourth two years later, and this just kept going and going lol
When it comes to Dylan and Cole when they left. That’s not entirely what happened. Yes they aged out but they were willing to do one more season. They wanted to make a third suite life series. It was to be about Zack and Cody returning to the Tipton and seeing how much the place changed since they left on the boat. Presumably set in the summer before college would start. Cody would have been fighting to get into a successful school presumably nearby or at Yail while Zack would show there was another route for those who didn’t get into college. All the while a new kid would move into the Tipton. Zack and Cody would have been mentoring this kid throughout the season but would ultimately leave at the end of the season. Allowing the writers to take the kid any any direction they wanted. They pitched it to the higher ups but were rejected. The two of them wanted executive producer credits since it would be the seventh season they would do. But the higher ups were against them. A week later they were contacted by those higher ups for a meeting. They basically pitched the same series back to them but with Selena Gomez and it be Miami. But they wouldn’t get get the executive producer credit they wanted. They laughed at their faces and walked away. Effectively scrapping any chances for a third suite life show
I feel like if they continued suite life, Jessie would probably not have taken off and in turn Bunk’D wouldn’t have either. And with that, either Austin and Ally or Good Luck Charlie would’ve replaced the giant hole that Jessie carved out for Disney Channel in the 2010s. Because if you think about it the concept of Jessie and suite life are so similar and Disney probably would’ve pushed for Debby Ryan to star in a musical show that would fail after one or two seasons
Funny how they denied the premise years ago but did it now also imo this would have been way better of a spinoff being still about the same thing but new this show I never watched but it’s a spinoff of Jessie but it just the same characters not continuing somthing more
@@mikemoralesG59To be fair, it is a story I had heard elsewhere, and if I recall correctly it came from an old interview with one of the Sprouse twins. Now the story's become somewhat more widely known because a bunch of "deep dive" TH-camrs made videos featuring it on their Disney Channel videos.
Crazy that Bunke'd lasted 7 seasons. My younger sister had a Disney channel phase and we would watch the show pretty often, but it was around the time that the first 3 seasons were airing. Don't really know what happens in the later seasons, but it's always kinda bittersweet when a show ends
The show ended when the Ross siblings left the show. Lou is a great counselor, but it didn’t feel right without her bunk mates. I would’ve kept watching if we got a season where the siblings stayed & became counselors with Lou & then eventually hand the torch to her which would lead to the new cast.
Wouldn't that be something if the entire "Disney Channel Universe" started and ended with Raven? Or I guess if Raven's not renewed, it will have ended with Urkel's Christmas special last month
Yeah, That's So Raven kicked off the universe when it crossed over with Suite Life and Hannah Montana which came after it, then since then they crossed over with the other shows that were coming out (Wizards, Good Luck Charlie, Austin & Ally, Jessie, etc.) and then we had sequel/spinoff shows and with Bunk'd ending, that leaves only Raven's Home as the last of the universe clan IF that show gets renewed.
If you want to go back even further from Disney's Friday family night lineup, there was Sabrina: The Teenage Witch's time ball crossover with Boy Meets World, You Wish and Teen Angel. Boy Meets World spun-off Girl Meets World, which crossed over with Liv and Maddie and Best Friends Whenever.
I think a great comparison to this idea is Degrassi. You start the show with a group of characters in this high school and each season is about one school year. As the seasons go on and the students grow and new characters are added along the way and eventually take center stage as the show pushes forward. The writers of that show were able to squeeze out a whopping 26 seasons with that formula so if Disney were to include that kind of show in their new lineup there’s definitely proof of it being successful
Basically how i felt about every season of Bunk'd seasons 1- 3: wow this show is actually cool though I think it's not getting anymore seasons considering the main cast is gone. season 4: oh new season, well I guess it makes sense because Lou is running the show so that could be cool to see. season 5: Alright now it's ending right? A few months later: season 6 - 7: Why is this still continued? This is gen 3 now and only 1 original character left. Now: oh, it's canceled now. About time because it has been way too long so yeah. cool
Yeah I think Raven's Home is done as well since the last episode involved the kids going to college, the dad moving to London, and Raven getting her own fashion brand, where, upon seeing herself on the cover of a magazine, she closed out the episode saying "Yep, that's me"; throwing all the way back to the beginning in 2003.
So many people get mad at the show for removing the Ross kids because “it’s no longer a spin-off”. I’ve been saying for years that it makes sense to remove them because kids only go to summer camp for so long, and new campers come in. So glad someone else finally said it. Also I might be the only person who’s watched a good chunk of this show and it’s honestly not that bad. I feel like if it was on when I was a kid I would’ve watched every episode
Yeah I understand your point of view but, it should have stopped after Season 3 and the Ross kids left. It stopped being good after Season 2 when they kicked off most of the main characters. I was very invested in the show until S3 started and the characters I loved were replaced with like 6 year olds who were nowhere near as interesting as the characters from the first three seasons and just seemed like knock-off replacements. And many shows on Disney are much better than Bunk'D and deserved to have more than 3-4, seasons but Bunk'D isn't one of them. Bunk'D should not have been the first show to get more than 4 seasons on Disney. The only character from the first Season now was Lou iirc, and tbh I don't like her that much.
Yh, it was cute for what it was, and I appreciate what they were going for from s3 onward, but it always was the ‘Jessie Spinoff’ and that’s all people saw it as, so when it tried developing its own identity, people got scared, per usual, with changes.
i remember bunked came out jus as i was gettin too old for disney, like 9-10 or sum. and i was wishing they cancelled it then😭😭. surprises me it ever went on that long
Bunk’d’s concept is VERY evergreen. You never have to worry about characters not getting resolutions (or whatever counts as a resolution in episodic content, but I mean things like the usual “person aspiring to become popstar becomes popstar in the finale!” stuff) because they’re expected to come and go, and that is very valuable. Kinda crazy that they aren’t continuing it, since it can basically just be a skit show with whatever personalities they want to use for a season.
True but honestly the main problem for me was that they NEVER CHANGED PERSONALITIES. Every season had the 1. Stupid gross kid comic relief 2. Smart/Sarcastic kid who does something weird 3. Confident kid, but also has some emotional baggage They need some new characters for sure
Yeah, they definitely didn’t use the concept particularly well, but it’s still something I think a lot of writers would be thrilled to have going for them. I’m not sad to see it end, though-maybe they’ll actually try something new for once
@@darkchoco1836 if you think about it, they’ve been reusing the same tropes from the suite life of Zack and Cody, to on deck, to Jessie, they all had the same type of characters and have a similar team of writers
I grew up with this show and as I’ve been growing up I have watched almost every season but I definitely agree that it mostly lost my interest after season 4. I did keep watching it anyways because honestly why not, but I’m honestly not super upset it’s ending.
Season 4 surprisingly enough is my favorite season of the show. It's just really solid and a great return to form. And imho this was when the character writing got infinitely better for this show
This just popped up in my recommended and I cannot believe that this show is still running. I remember when they announced it coming out, I was just at the point where I was starting to get out of the age where I was interested in Disney channel shows. The fact that it has been on the air for that long is crazy to me
The idea of it was not terrible. Children only go to camp for so long so you could not keep the Ross siblings there forever. Besides, they had other ambitions non-camp related that traced back to before they even started going to Camp Kikiwawa so there was no way to keep them forever. It worked to just rotate new children on the show as to be more grounded.
I agree that children only go to camp for so long but it is completely unfair that Bunk’d is the first Disney live action series to have more than 4 seasons when there are better shows that deserved more seasons.
@@madisonyour5369 I won't speak on that as I didn't watch them to be sure of it but some shows don't work lasting as long as Bunk'd did even if they'd do well. I didn't watch all episodes of this series but the concept was not bad and frankly there's always the obsession with some characters so some were going to complain about the different children regardless.
I think the regeneration model would have worked better if it didn’t start as a spin off of Jessie. People watched it to see the Ross kids not the new characters but if they started it without them then while it might not have had so much traction in the start the overall formula would work better.
I didn’t think a Disney Channel show could ever last as long. It wasn’t even the same show halfway through when they got rid of literally every character from the series it was a spinoff from, and every character we learned about in the first two seasons, except for the one counselor who is supposed to be a Side character.
If I remember correctly, the show was supposed to end back in 2018 when the Ross kids left. But the network ultimately decided to change their minds and renewed it for another season
The next show that could be coming is Wizards. Both Henry and Selena are heard to be working on a continuum show where henry is now a wizards teacher and has a new group of students. I also heard that Selena will only make a guest appearance on the show. Who knows whats gonna go down. Well have to wait and see.
Honestly it's impressive that a show that has lost all of it's original cast expect for one manage to kept going. Normally that's a death sentence for any show but like you said the idea of switching characters in and out constantly made it feel somewhat "fresh"
When talking about the trajectory of Bunk'd. It reminds me of Degrassi: The Next Generation. They did a similar thing where you'd follow a group of kids their 4 years of high school (minus the first generation in which it was grade 7/8-12). And every once in a while, a past character would make a cameo.
i see why you are mr nostalgia. just by calling it the prime universe. made me think about all the different shows i watched and they were kinda connected or related. great video
I think it was a mistake not to have Cameron Boyce apart of Bunk'd for it's first three seasons. They could have easily found someone else to star in Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything. I also think season three should have been a DCOM about them rebuilding Camp Kikiwaka after it was destroyed and at the end of the film the Ross kids get their parents to sell the camp to Lou and Xander.
2 reasons why I think Cameron wasn’t there as a main cast 1. Cameron Boyce was doing the Descendants Franchise so he had to devote his time to those films at the same time Bunk’d was going on 2. I think Cameron had to do hospital visits pretty often at that time seeing as he sadly passed away I believe about the same season 3 came out R.I.P. Cameron Boyce
@@doesthisIookinfected uh no they don't! At the end of season three all the Ross kids were gone doing their own thing. Give Luke a reason to leave and say he's currently doing that or something else and you don't have to kill him off. Take Fast & Furious for example. Paul Walker is dead but Brian O'Connor is alive raising his kid.
@@RomaroBrandon Sorry I didn't mean to literally kill him off on the show. I meant that since no one could predict his passing having Luke just disappear would be weird. But you made a point on how they could have phased him out of the show.
@@RomaroBrandonThey could’ve done an in universe death too tho. Chadwick Boseman is dead and T’Challa is dead too despite no signs of him being near death in the movies.
I remember only watching the 1st season when it came out, thinking it was a mid show and not really caring about it. I can't believe it actually lasted this long.
All honesty the first two seasons were the best part of the show but when season three hit it was kind of meh then later it just went all downhill from there
@@치추이 That happens to a majority of child/teen celebs. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber Macaulay Culkin, Robert Downey Jr, Judy Garland, etc.
Yeah, I agree. It would've been a great Disney show to have more than 4 seasons. Have the Duncan kids grow up, come back and visit maybe. Make it more kinda true to life, where good families like the Duncans never really fall apart, and kids would grow up and then move out, though, some might come back (I'm thinking PJ and Gabe would've probably moved back in at one point), and see their lives as Charlie and Toby become teenagers and adults, and Bob and Amy become grandparents, and great-grandparents, etc.
Personally I think, the fate of the Prime Disney Channel universe relies on if Raven’s Home & The Villains of Valley View gets renewed. cause in a tweet about the Valley View S2 Finale, there was an nod to Lab Rats (specifically “Rats On A Train”), that one of the creators confirmed that VV could be in the same universe as Lab Rats. But that’s how I see it, love the vids by the way🤙🏽
I’m so glad that Bunk’d is finally ending. I didn’t understand why it kept getting renewed for more seasons. The last season I actually enjoyed was season 4. After that, I got bored of Bunk’d. I thought season 5 was decent, but then in seasons 6 and 7, it became a western thing for some reason, and I was like, what? It wasn’t even Bunk’d anymore in seasons 6 and 7. But yeah, I’m glad that Bunk’d is finally ending. Raven’s Home on the other hand I think is still a really good show and I hope it gets renewed for another season 👍
Yeaaa seasons 6 and 7 have been a noticeable step down but I still think season 3 is the worst season imo at least. That said, I am bittersweet to the ending of bunk'd. Don't get it twisted it really should've ended in season 5 but it marks the end of a 13 year journey for me since I started watching jessie when I was in 7th grade and now its spinoff is ending right as I'm finishing college. I'm excited to see how these last 10 episodes pan out
@@jakobwhite730 my reasoning is that, to me, it feels like a phoned in season. It felt like the actors weren't giving it their all at that point. On top of them not really fleshing out the cocnept of the Ross's running the camp. Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany weren't properly written out. I really sincerely hated the stereotypes of the characters especially in this season with zuri and ravi. Ravi being the butt of the joke got old and zuri just became more and more unlikably selfish. The writing of Finn, Destiny, and Mateo was the biggest thing i hated the most of that season. Destiny and Mateo were basically young carbon copies of existing characters and finn was just painfully unfunny. However, they got exceptionally better by season 4 and got properly fleshed out. If you ask me, season 4 is my favorite season of the whole show and I remember wanting to hate it when it first aired. Seasons 6 and 7 aren't far off quality wise but I think there is more passion put in those seasons than season 3. It's not as bad other seasons of television but it just feels half baked.
@@darwinbowman8512 yeah, they definitely could’ve done a lot more with the concept of the Ross’s running the camp. I thought it was weird that Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany weren’t even mentioned at least once. Hazel did mention Xander in the episode when she returned in season 4, but that was it. There was no other mentions of Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany. Destiny, Matteo, and Finn definitely weren’t the best characters in season 3, but they were adorable. They got better in season 4. But I still think season 3 isn’t the worst season because it has the Ross kids in it.
I remember watching this back in like, 5th, 6th, or 7th grade, idk, I honestly felt like 12-year old me liked the show, but now growing up now, at age 15, it kinda felt like another Live-Action "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie-type show. And it was still running up until 2023? THAT'S INSANE
Even though I stopped watching the show a long time ago, this was still considered a Jessie spinoff. Futhermore Jessie was a big part of my childhood so this is kinda bittersweet for me.
Booker from Raven's Home made an appearance in Saturday's but since that got canceled, there's nothing outside of Raven's Home to keep the universe going. Here's hoping for something in Villian's of Valley View I guess.
@@AJ-xc4qe that just got cancelled..... i kinda don't get why Disney Channel's on a massive axing spree as of late (maybe it's because of Disney+ or them being impacted by company budget cuts or something)
It's crazy this show still went on after not having cable for awhile. I actually highly enjoyed this spin-off of being a continuation of Jesse. I thought that was a genius idea for a continuation of a story. I mean it makes sense to keep bringing in new kids between seasons to have it parralell with irl summer camp. That's gnious marketing. I give props to disney for keeping it on air this long even though most of the og crew already left by s3 onward. I sadly had to miss rest of s3 onward due to no cable. might have to give it a rewatch sometime. Sad to hear it's ending though. after all the years.
I’m a teenager and bunkd started when I was about 6-7 or so I think. It’s so crazy to see it coming to an end, it feels like it’s been around for most of my life. Ive still been keeping up the seasons and while its gone downhill since season 3 Its just fun to go back to when I was younger
Regarding the shared universe, it's possible that Villains of Valley View will establish itself as part of Disney Prime. It's stylistically so similar to the other sitcoms in Disney Prime and its superhero focus is just begging for a connection to Mighty Med or Lab Rats. I'm somewhat confident they'll connect themselves to the Mighty Med with a cameo or reference before ending the show.
well considering they tried to connect mighty med and labrats together before and we saw how that went...im not so sure they'll do anything with either of those old shows
So this has been a massive shared sitcom universe going all the way back to the black-and-white days, and it's finally ending? FINALLY, now I can start "I Love Lucy" from the beginning and catch up without worrying about more things being added.
After Season 3 began I quit watching Bunk'd. It jus wasn't the same without Jorge, Xander, and Tiffany. The were a big part of the show. So was Gladys and I forgot her name and the Weasels.
Yep, if this show had nothing to do with Jessie in the first place, I wouldn't have even watched it. The same way I wouldn't have watched KC Undercover if Zendaya wasn't the lead actress in the show
Friday January 12th, 2024 I was hoping that Bunk'd would end in 2025 since the series started in 2015. Also, take the season 3 finale for example. Towards the end of Season 3 (09/21/2018), the Ross kids sold the camp to Lou for $1. Lou then told them that she wanted to turn it into a camp for underprivileged kids with all 3 Rosses agreed to. Zuri also mentioned that Timmy can finally come camp but never came out of the woods in Seasons 4-7 & his name was never mentioned.
The only reason why I remember Jessie is because of the monitor lizard. Also because the characters were in a crossover Halloween special with Ultimate Spider-Man.
Fun fact: Bunk’d destroyed the Jesse cannon. The show Jesse had a crossover with another Disney show, Austin and Ally. We also know that Bunk’d is canonical to the universe because of the kids from Jesse showing up(sorry been so long since I’ve watched, forgot majority of the names). However, in later seasons, one of the actors from Austin and Ally shows up in Bunk’d, the one that plays the secondary female protagonist, but as a DIFFERENT CHARACTER. Not the same one she played in A&A. So the universe is in a paradox unless that character from A&A had a long lost sister or doppelgänger. Not 100% sure, but I think the actor for the secondary male character in A&A also showed up as a different character for Bunk’d. Could be wrong tho, but definitely the female actor was in both shows as different characters. Edit: Started ACTUALLY WATCHING the video and the names came flooding back, at least for the Jesse characters. But I think the female characters the actor from A&A and Bunk’d played was Trish, I think from A&A if I remember correctly.
The same thing happened with the Wizards, Suite Life and Hannah Montana crossover. Even though Miley and Selena didn't meet during those episodes, Selena had a small role in one of the Hannah Montana episodes. So there's 2 Selenas in the same universe as well. And there's also 2 Bridgits because of Good Luck Charlie and Wizards.
Yeah, I totally get what you're saying! Disney Channel definitely hasn't lost its magic. They're still bringing back some of their classic cartoons, which is super exciting. I think Disney Channel is always looking for new and interesting shows to keep us entertained. As for Bunk, I understand why people might be wondering about it. It was a spin-off of Jessie, right? And as for Raven's Home, I don't think the universe is ending just yet. Disney Channel has gone through some changes, but it's still the same channel we know and love. They might be doing things a little differently now, but they're still bringing us awesome content. Let's stay positive and see what cool things Disney Channel has in store for us!
I haven’t thought about this show till I saw a commercial a few months ago and realized none of the Jessie kids were there anymore I wonder just who was really still fucking with it after they left
Wow, I was surprised when it went past a 4th season and honestly thought this show would be never ending...or at least make it to a season 10. If it's cancelled to bring in new sitcom shows, then I'm glad because Disney Channel has really been slacking in that department lately. The only consistenly running live action shows they have are Ravens Home, Bunk'd, ans Villains of Valley View. 2 of these are now pretty much ending, so ya..they need new shows. It will be heartbreaking if the multiverse comes to an end.
Essentially, this is the tween sitcom equivalent of Grey’s Anatomy, where everyone except for one actor wanted to move on to other things because the show was going on for longer than they expected 😂
This is crazy this show lasted me in middle school, moving to a new high school after middle school and all of my 4 years in highschool + my college years.
But wasn't the whole premise of the show being a Jessie spin-off with ties to that show through the Ross kids? Seeing how they deal with life without their nanny and living in the wilderness? Season 3 was the logical ending.
Watched religiously from season 1-3 then watched 4 as it looked alright and I wanted to see how it was without the Jessie cast and the others, but only watched the first and last episode of season 5. Crazy how long it has been on for.
I was at my friends house and his a little sister was watching bunked and I thought the show got cancelled years ago and I said “there still doing reruns?” And my friends little sister said” this is a new episode” and my mind was blown. P.S. haven’t watched any of the new episodes though lol
Y'know, there was a show here in Brazil called "Malhação" that worked similarly to that! Every year it was a completely different story with a completely different cast and even different themes, all retaining a sort of visual identity. It ran for years from the 90s all the way to the 2010s and was really only cancelled bc of streaming killing any interest of the target demographic (that is teenagers) in brazilian works of fiction.
9:22 Yeah, so we all unanimously agree to just ignore the fact Full House was referred to as a TV show in Mighty Med in season 2 episode 14, correct? Granted though an easy explanation can just be that the events of full house in universe was adapted into a tv show where its story still happened. Like the Sonic and FANF universes
It's also possible that there's just a tv show called "Full House" in that universe that has a completely different plot from the actual show and has nothing to do with it. Considering we never actually see footage from what the show looks like from their standpoint
@@MrNostalgia That’s entirely fair and understandable. Especially considering almost every other pop culture reference made in Mighty Med has been a parady of existing franchise in our world and not the actual thing. So Full House being the only exception would be weird
I think it’s kinda interesting that this and Raven’s Home were the main shows that had been carried the network for a while. And while I don’t think their newer live action shows are bad, you can tell they are really struggling to find new ideas for their sitcom since they are now putting more focus on their animated shows. Which isn’t a bad thing. Honestly I think it’s kinda ironic how from the late 2000s to late 2010s, Disney Channel was pumping out so many live action shows and ideas that they barely had enough room for animated shows like Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, and Wonder over Yonder to air on the channel but around 2018-2020, they now have a lot of animated content and shows like Big City Greens, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and Hailey’s On It on their main channel more than the live action shows. Even animated shows that were exclusive to Disney XD like Star vs The Forces of Evil, Ducktales (2017), and Big Hero 6: the series aired and reran some of their episodes on the main channel.
i remember when i was around 3rd grade, every time we would have indoor recess or snack time, our teacher would put in bunkd for us too watch. that was around like season 3 when we started watching, and i had no clue they did 4 more seasons😭
Same reason doctor who manages to run since the 60s. When you have a built-in excuse to just change the entire cast whenever you want, theres nothing holding you back (other than quality, of course)
CN possible coming to an end this year, the Disney Channel prime universe possibly ending, Nick This could be a nightmare year for all of our childhood. Buckle up.
Imagine the early 2000s CN shows today; Power Puff Girls, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Labatory. Those shows I grew up with it wasnt till I was older that I started watching Disney However with how things have played out since 2020 I think those shows would get over more now
I watched Jessie but I never watched Bunk'd because I was 16 when that show started. It was the first time I didn't watch a Disney spin off of a show I had watched. I quit watching Disney pretty much right at that time. When I found out it had been renewed past the standard 4 season run of a Disney show, I got so annoyed because I wanted that so badly for my shows growing up. I understand why it would have never worked but I just wish Disney ran things a bit differently. Like shows on other networks. Such as Boy Meets World. Seeing the characters off to college, married, etc. I know that would never happen with Disney shows but I would've watched shows like Wizards and The Suite Life forever truly. Your comment about Bunk'd being able to bring in new kids reminded me of Degrassi. Those kids were rarely followed past high school(except for a few characters in the earlier seasons of TNG). Degrassi got away with the same thing. 16 seasons and a spin off because they could change the cast whenever they needed to.

Sorry to say it but Hannah Montana was a copy or really inspired by that’s so Raven that’s so Raven was really popping in the early 2000s even broke records for Disney channel Hannah Montana was just a white version of raven if you look closely they had so many similarities 2 girls hiding a secret both loved to disguise themselves, both fathers was more in their life , they had 2 best friend a boy and a girl ,also had Stanley and Rico was basically a Stanley for Hannah Montana I felt they did Hannah Montana cause how raven was so successful
@@SoSaD-gl5xe it’s not copy of That’s So Raven. The same man that created Hannah Montana, is the same man that created That’s So Raven. Plus, Rico is Hispanic not white.

Love your content ❤
Tbh once the original cast left the show, it was time to cancel it. Disney wanted to use Bunk’d as a quick cash grab because they knew they didn’t really have anything else carrying the brand besides Ravens Home. But like you said the idea of this show is genius because the revolving cast aspect is something Disney never thought to do.
Exactly bruh. It literally was based around the Ross kids and when they took off people and then started adding randoms I gave up on it
I can see why it got cancelled. Disney Channel is now focusing more on animated programming than live-action nowadays.
This was a good change because their live-action stuff did went stale after K.C. Undercover. (With some exceptions)
@@kootunesscrewy I agree
They never thought to do it even tho Dylan and Cole Sprouse literally suggested it to them when they wanted to continue Suite Life for another season.
Disney decided against it and just cancelled it without a proper series finale.
@@kootunesscrewy huh? Considering they cancelled their biggest animated property, Owl House, I’m surprised. I thought they didn’t want animation anymore.
Maybe after the success of the show and their failure to capitalize on it, they “learned their lesson”. Too late imo, I hope the channel dies for its sins lol
Its crazy how a spinoff 2015 -2023 lasted longer than the original 2011-2015
Lol true, even Friends' spin off, Joey only had like 2 year show run then got cancelled compare to Friends which had 10 year run and successfully ended in a satisfying note
Is it? SVU is still a couple seasons ahead of the original Law and Order
@@DigiRangerScott Neither person said it is the running spinoff.
The only other show I can think of that laster longer was family matters as it was a spinoff of perfect strangers and that only had like 3 seasons I think and family matters had 9
Es loco que un spinoof que al principio tenia a la mitad del elenco de la serie original termino sin ninguno
Honestly, the idea of Bunk’d being able to go on indefinitely by just cycling actors is kinda big brained. Wouldn’t be surprised if Disney tries that strategy again with a new show
The sprouse twins pitched that idea to Disney with their pitch for Suite Life to be a revolving door with a new kid in the Tipton hotel every few seasons. Disney laughed in their face and pitched the same idea back to them a few weeks later. It’s kind of like Disney put their idea to use later down the line except they used the camp instead of the Tipton hotel.
@@RealogOnlyBrodiein a sense they did kinda take up the Sprouse twins ideas with Jessie only instead of a revolving cast the went with a different cast but in the same scenario
+ More opportunity for actors! It's honestly just a genius idea lol. Studios should take suit
Tbh, Disney Channel has been going away from live-action since 2018. So I'm not surprised they want to rely on animation more nowadays.
Like a disney doctor who, sounds like it would either be atrocious or awesome
Blud did not see the Wizards Of Waverly Place sequel coming!
Tbf, I don’t think any of us did
@amazingunreleasedalbums she's part of it. behind the scenes at least. she knows how to make it funny. I'll still give it a shot
Season 5 and 6 of bunkd had to be the worst I didn’t even bother watching it because most of the cast are gone. No Ross kids, No finn and no Mateo. They just gave us some random kids.
To be honest I stopped watching after Finn Matteo Gwen and Ava left the only reasons why I watched season five is because Gwen came back the other reason why I watched season six is because Finn came back but other than that after season five ended I stopped watching now I’m looking forward to watching it again since Gwen Finn Matteo and Ava are coming back for the series finale
agreed
my hot take is season 4 is the best season (followed by 2). 1 is overrated and 3 was bad. But season 5 started strong till parker (or whatever the guy was called came) and the 2nd half of season 5 was horrible. 6 was where i gave up, I could live with the ross kids going but no Ava and mateo was painful to watch.
Another take is the reason i find the ross kids overrated in bunked is Zuri was just derailed to the ground,Ravi was made to look even weaker, although he had good moments. Emma was the only one who actually got heavily improved from Jesse and wished stayed.
For me, Bunk'd ended at season 3. The moment the Ross Siblings weren't the main characters anymore as season 3 was their last appearance as the leads, that's where i quit the show. It was meant to be a Jessie spin off in the first place that i liked at first, now it just feels like a stand alone show with a bunch of characters that i couldn't even bother to care unless the Ross Siblings were there as the leads
Plus, with Cameron Boyce's death, it didn't feel the same knowing one of the Ross siblings can never come back, and I wish the show got cancelled sooner.
Bro it ended at season 2 for me
I feel like Lou isn’t even the same character anymore, they just wanted to keep one og character on there so they kept her name and face (and she’s from the county I guess) then called it a day
When they brought back Hazel (who was a rival to Emma) it felt awkward and pointless because both of the characters she had interesting relationships with were gone by that point even her actress said that Hazel's return felt weird for the same reason
Agreed
I didn't even realize BUNK'D was still running. I was still in high school when this show premiere, now I finished college and this show was still going. At least it got 7 seasons, not many disney shows get that opportunity.
Not many Disney shows get that opportunity for sure but I think it's at best like that to not overstay it's welcome unlike Bunk'd. Probably the only show that I wish get more seasons or a spin off show is Good Luck Charlie
@@800Ms-k6n Yeah, many shows don't need 7-10 seasons, at least BUNK'D gets the chance to end on its' own terms. Like the saying goes "All good things must come to an end".
I don't think I've ever seen any Disney show get more than 3-4 seasons.
@@dannyphantom3090that’s cause they get a 3 season contract and when that comes up for renewal they usually cancel the show like girl meets world or they massively retool it like the suite life of zack and Cody that became the sweet life on deck cause if they retool the show they can technically renew it under the new title and keep paying the cast members that return same salary cause the Disney channel isn’t willing to let the shows grow up with it’s audience like a show like boy meets world did cause I got to grow up with it in the 90’s
@@kevin10001oh yeah Joey Bragg the actor who played Joey Rooney on Liv and Maddie mentioned that Disney changes the name of the 4th season to something subtitle bc it’s a “new” show so they pay the full amount but Disney supposedly kept swapping campers (actors) except I think like 5-6 characters so they got away with not paying as much I guess
what’s crazy is we’ve seen Raven for 10 seasons now. The last episode of season 6 of Raven’s Home did feel like a series finale to me. Raven getting her fashion dream and keeping the OG house, Booker going to college, Victor moving away to London with Tanya
it would be dope if it still would go on but idk tbh
I agree the way the season ended felt like everything was wrapping up even with Raven saying the line "Yep that's me" as the final line of the season
Raven's Home deserves another season, but it definitely doesn't need one. The last episode was a good and satisfying finale. Other than following Booker's life at college, I don't see what direction another season would even go in.
I feel this show has run its course. Tbh both the season 4 and 6 finale felt like series finales so they both really could end the show
@@samanthabancroft1021I talk about that in my Raven's Home season 7 video.
7 seasons?! Disney really has to learn to not milk a franchise or TV show for just money. Freaking 7 SEASONS?!?! Why not give other show ideas a chance in the spotlight?
for real, it's always ecause they want money, they don't even care 😔
7 seasons for a jessie spin off that lost all the characters from the show yet the owl house was forced to be shortened cus it "didn't fit the Disney brand"
@@aeweljrnold07 And what exactly is the Disney brand? Just making all their shows exactly the same with no original idea?!
So many shows lived & died before bunk’d even saw it’s end lol
@@aeweljrnold07 owl house unfortunately sucked
I liked how in Zuri’s interview Jenna Ortega was just chilling in the background, back when she was only on Stuck In The Middle and before Wednesday happened.
That's what's im saying
I was looking for this comment
Jenna Ortega is a good actress but I just don’t like Wednesday lol
@@eclipsed-oracle Jenna was the whole reason they didn't butch Wednesday's character any further, had she been allowed more input the entire show wouldn't have sucked so much. Due to the show's success, and everyone realizing Jenna was right all along, I'm almost certain season 2 will be better. I didn't like the show either, but when season 2 arrives I'll give it a try the first episode to see how it is and make my final choice then.
@@Dani_1012 Agreed.
I’ve never liked the show personally. Me finding out it was finally ending is how I’m finding out this show apparently has a cult following
Yeah me too, I loved Jessie but this show even at 13 felt like a cash-grab. I liked the characters but felt like the writing fell in Bunk'd
I feel like calling it a cult following is not exactly right. I think the only reason you might not have heard about it is either A: You don't run in the same circles where that news would come up, or B: The people who watch it just don't feel like posting about it online. To me at least, a cult following is when a smaller number of groups are entirely dedicated towards the show. I think what happened here is that the kids cycle out of watching and not watching the show.
@@turnipcrazy I think what it is is that kids have kinda stopped watching cable TV compared to when this show first released. As such, the show has been buried underneath all of the pop-culture of Internet and movies so unless you're in the circle you mentioned then you're not going to know.
For example, I don't watch nickelodeon or paramount+ as I've grown up, yet I still know rugrats had a Reboot without being anywhere near that circle.
BUNKD IS OVER WOOOOOO💃🪩🎉🥳🕺🎶🎵🍾💃🍾🪩🕺✨🎵🎶🎉✨🎉🥳🥳
@@turnipcrazy true
I am blown away that Bunk'd went on as long as it did on Disney Channel of all networks. I've gotta give it that at least.
Didn't Disney Channel had that 65 episode rule? And yet Good Luck Charlie (correct me if i'm wrong) was the first show that broke the rule so because of that, it applies to basically every show that came after GLC
@@800Ms-k6nactually, the 65 episode rule was broken before Good Luck Charlie. The first Disney Channel show to go past 65 episodes was That’s So Raven.
I didn’t even realize this show made it past 2020. I genuinely thought I ended it the 20 “teens”
man i wish they cared that much back in the early early 2000s when the shows were really well written and clever. American Dragon got 2 seasons, Kim Possible was canceled and only came back by popular demand for a fourth two years later, and this just kept going and going lol
@@800Ms-k6n yea it was that’s so raven first
When it comes to Dylan and Cole when they left. That’s not entirely what happened. Yes they aged out but they were willing to do one more season. They wanted to make a third suite life series. It was to be about Zack and Cody returning to the Tipton and seeing how much the place changed since they left on the boat. Presumably set in the summer before college would start. Cody would have been fighting to get into a successful school presumably nearby or at Yail while Zack would show there was another route for those who didn’t get into college. All the while a new kid would move into the Tipton. Zack and Cody would have been mentoring this kid throughout the season but would ultimately leave at the end of the season. Allowing the writers to take the kid any any direction they wanted. They pitched it to the higher ups but were rejected. The two of them wanted executive producer credits since it would be the seventh season they would do. But the higher ups were against them.
A week later they were contacted by those higher ups for a meeting. They basically pitched the same series back to them but with Selena Gomez and it be Miami. But they wouldn’t get get the executive producer credit they wanted. They laughed at their faces and walked away. Effectively scrapping any chances for a third suite life show
I feel like if they continued suite life, Jessie would probably not have taken off and in turn Bunk’D wouldn’t have either. And with that, either Austin and Ally or Good Luck Charlie would’ve replaced the giant hole that Jessie carved out for Disney Channel in the 2010s. Because if you think about it the concept of Jessie and suite life are so similar and Disney probably would’ve pushed for Debby Ryan to star in a musical show that would fail after one or two seasons
Funny how they denied the premise years ago but did it now also imo this would have been way better of a spinoff being still about the same thing but new this show I never watched but it’s a spinoff of Jessie but it just the same characters not continuing somthing more
Source:Trust me bro
@@mikemoralesG59To be fair, it is a story I had heard elsewhere, and if I recall correctly it came from an old interview with one of the Sprouse twins.
Now the story's become somewhat more widely known because a bunch of "deep dive" TH-camrs made videos featuring it on their Disney Channel videos.
5:22 I kind of agree. And as long as you give each character unique personalities and backgrounds, the show could go on with endless ideas.
Crazy that Bunke'd lasted 7 seasons.
My younger sister had a Disney channel phase and we would watch the show pretty often, but it was around the time that the first 3 seasons were airing. Don't really know what happens in the later seasons, but it's always kinda bittersweet when a show ends
The show ended when the Ross siblings left the show. Lou is a great counselor, but it didn’t feel right without her bunk mates. I would’ve kept watching if we got a season where the siblings stayed & became counselors with Lou & then eventually hand the torch to her which would lead to the new cast.
Didn’t they pretty much do that? The kids became counselors.
Wouldn't that be something if the entire "Disney Channel Universe" started and ended with Raven?
Or I guess if Raven's not renewed, it will have ended with Urkel's Christmas special last month
Aun nos queda oye primos
@@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511 mejor nada 🗿
Yeah, That's So Raven kicked off the universe when it crossed over with Suite Life and Hannah Montana which came after it, then since then they crossed over with the other shows that were coming out (Wizards, Good Luck Charlie, Austin & Ally, Jessie, etc.) and then we had sequel/spinoff shows and with Bunk'd ending, that leaves only Raven's Home as the last of the universe clan IF that show gets renewed.
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist- No one cares. Go away with that religion talk. This is not the video for it.
If you want to go back even further from Disney's Friday family night lineup, there was Sabrina: The Teenage Witch's time ball crossover with Boy Meets World, You Wish and Teen Angel. Boy Meets World spun-off Girl Meets World, which crossed over with Liv and Maddie and Best Friends Whenever.
I think a great comparison to this idea is Degrassi. You start the show with a group of characters in this high school and each season is about one school year. As the seasons go on and the students grow and new characters are added along the way and eventually take center stage as the show pushes forward. The writers of that show were able to squeeze out a whopping 26 seasons with that formula so if Disney were to include that kind of show in their new lineup there’s definitely proof of it being successful
Omg yes along with the next step
was just thinking this!! so true
@@miriamcousin the next step owned me when i was younger oml 😭
I fucking love degrassi and this is one of the biggest reasons it works
@@roralojane oh no it fully is, no competition lmao
4:50 the fact you said that and now THIS is your most watched is so sick lol, keep it up man first time watchin n i luv the vid style
Basically how i felt about every season of Bunk'd
seasons 1- 3: wow this show is actually cool though I think it's not getting anymore seasons considering the main cast is gone.
season 4: oh new season, well I guess it makes sense because Lou is running the show so that could be cool to see.
season 5: Alright now it's ending right?
A few months later:
season 6 - 7: Why is this still continued? This is gen 3 now and only 1 original character left.
Now: oh, it's canceled now. About time because it has been way too long so yeah. cool
Yeah I think Raven's Home is done as well since the last episode involved the kids going to college, the dad moving to London, and Raven getting her own fashion brand, where, upon seeing herself on the cover of a magazine, she closed out the episode saying "Yep, that's me"; throwing all the way back to the beginning in 2003.
It is possible I talk about it in my season 6 finale review.
Wait is that episode a time skip or did they lead up to it?
@@lylelylecrocodile2538 There is a several-month timeskip within the episode. The full episode is on TH-cam in case you wanted to see.
So many people get mad at the show for removing the Ross kids because “it’s no longer a spin-off”. I’ve been saying for years that it makes sense to remove them because kids only go to summer camp for so long, and new campers come in. So glad someone else finally said it.
Also I might be the only person who’s watched a good chunk of this show and it’s honestly not that bad. I feel like if it was on when I was a kid I would’ve watched every episode
Es como el final de community solo que llevado al extremo
Yeah it's got a certain type of comedy that a younger me would have loved.
IT WAS UNINTERESTING AND BORING
Yeah I understand your point of view but, it should have stopped after Season 3 and the Ross kids left. It stopped being good after Season 2 when they kicked off most of the main characters. I was very invested in the show until S3 started and the characters I loved were replaced with like 6 year olds who were nowhere near as interesting as the characters from the first three seasons and just seemed like knock-off replacements. And many shows on Disney are much better than Bunk'D and deserved to have more than 3-4, seasons but Bunk'D isn't one of them. Bunk'D should not have been the first show to get more than 4 seasons on Disney.
The only character from the first Season now was Lou iirc, and tbh I don't like her that much.
Yh, it was cute for what it was, and I appreciate what they were going for from s3 onward, but it always was the ‘Jessie Spinoff’ and that’s all people saw it as, so when it tried developing its own identity, people got scared, per usual, with changes.
i could've sworn this show was over years ago, i cant believe it just finally ending now. great vid as always nostalgia.
this show started when i was in fifth grade. i remember watching the premiere after the premiere of descendants. I'm in college now
OOHHH YASS QUEEN

@@randomaccount3574 the nursing home beckons us :')
i remember bunked came out jus as i was gettin too old for disney, like 9-10 or sum. and i was wishing they cancelled it then😭😭. surprises me it ever went on that long
Bunk’d’s concept is VERY evergreen. You never have to worry about characters not getting resolutions (or whatever counts as a resolution in episodic content, but I mean things like the usual “person aspiring to become popstar becomes popstar in the finale!” stuff) because they’re expected to come and go, and that is very valuable. Kinda crazy that they aren’t continuing it, since it can basically just be a skit show with whatever personalities they want to use for a season.
True but honestly the main problem for me was that they NEVER CHANGED PERSONALITIES. Every season had the
1. Stupid gross kid comic relief
2. Smart/Sarcastic kid who does something weird
3. Confident kid, but also has some emotional baggage
They need some new characters for sure
Yeah, they definitely didn’t use the concept particularly well, but it’s still something I think a lot of writers would be thrilled to have going for them. I’m not sad to see it end, though-maybe they’ll actually try something new for once
@@darkchoco1836 if you think about it, they’ve been reusing the same tropes from the suite life of Zack and Cody, to on deck, to Jessie, they all had the same type of characters and have a similar team of writers
I hope it ends with the Ross kids coming for a visit. It would probably be nice to have campers both past and present in the finale episode
I grew up with this show and as I’ve been growing up I have watched almost every season but I definitely agree that it mostly lost my interest after season 4. I did keep watching it anyways because honestly why not, but I’m honestly not super upset it’s ending.
Ha. There's a joke in this video that I know you'll like considering your name.
Nobody's caring
Season 4 surprisingly enough is my favorite season of the show. It's just really solid and a great return to form. And imho this was when the character writing got infinitely better for this show
Glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed season 4 after that the show definitely felt like it lost something
blud your a rando beefin wit people for no reason pipe down , yu need to calm down edgelord @@art23428
I forgot this show existed after season 4 until now 💀💀💀💀💀
Season 3 I meant
This just popped up in my recommended and I cannot believe that this show is still running. I remember when they announced it coming out, I was just at the point where I was starting to get out of the age where I was interested in Disney channel shows. The fact that it has been on the air for that long is crazy to me
The idea of it was not terrible. Children only go to camp for so long so you could not keep the Ross siblings there forever. Besides, they had other ambitions non-camp related that traced back to before they even started going to Camp Kikiwawa so there was no way to keep them forever. It worked to just rotate new children on the show as to be more grounded.
I agree that children only go to camp for so long but it is completely unfair that Bunk’d is the first Disney live action series to have more than 4 seasons when there are better shows that deserved more seasons.
@@madisonyour5369 I won't speak on that as I didn't watch them to be sure of it but some shows don't work lasting as long as Bunk'd did even if they'd do well. I didn't watch all episodes of this series but the concept was not bad and frankly there's always the obsession with some characters so some were going to complain about the different children regardless.
The fact this lasted longer than Amphibia and the Owl House combined is a crime
At least Amphibia got a decent ending; Disney’s shenanigans with The Owl House still piss me off to this day
😔 owl house didn't even get a real 3rd season
I forgot about those shows 💀
edit: THANKS FOR 12 LIKESSSSS xD
Matt braly wanted to end Amphibia at season 3. it would've dragged on too long otherwise
@@soup.decisionsame they weren’t even that good of shows
5:17 offtopic but that green screen may be the most obvious I've ever seen in a show
I think the regeneration model would have worked better if it didn’t start as a spin off of Jessie. People watched it to see the Ross kids not the new characters but if they started it without them then while it might not have had so much traction in the start the overall formula would work better.
I think the bigger surprise here for me is learning that it was STILL GOING ever since I stoped watching very early on…
I didn’t think a Disney Channel show could ever last as long. It wasn’t even the same show halfway through when they got rid of literally every character from the series it was a spinoff from, and every character we learned about in the first two seasons, except for the one counselor who is supposed to be a Side character.
Surprised to see a spinoff have more seasons than the original
I thought it ended around 2018 or 2019
But now is interesting
If I remember correctly, the show was supposed to end back in 2018 when the Ross kids left. But the network ultimately decided to change their minds and renewed it for another season
The next show that could be coming is Wizards. Both Henry and Selena are heard to be working on a continuum show where henry is now a wizards teacher and has a new group of students. I also heard that Selena will only make a guest appearance on the show. Who knows whats gonna go down. Well have to wait and see.
dude i remember watching this show in middle school/late elementary and im graduating high school this year and its JUST NOW ENDING 💀💀
I never watched Bunk'd but it feels surreal to hear that it's over.
Honestly it's impressive that a show that has lost all of it's original cast expect for one manage to kept going. Normally that's a death sentence for any show but like you said the idea of switching characters in and out constantly made it feel somewhat "fresh"
When talking about the trajectory of Bunk'd. It reminds me of Degrassi: The Next Generation. They did a similar thing where you'd follow a group of kids their 4 years of high school (minus the first generation in which it was grade 7/8-12). And every once in a while, a past character would make a cameo.
i see why you are mr nostalgia. just by calling it the prime universe. made me think about all the different shows i watched and they were kinda connected or related. great video
Wizards on Waverly place is coming back
I think it was a mistake not to have Cameron Boyce apart of Bunk'd for it's first three seasons. They could have easily found someone else to star in Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything. I also think season three should have been a DCOM about them rebuilding Camp Kikiwaka after it was destroyed and at the end of the film the Ross kids get their parents to sell the camp to Lou and Xander.
2 reasons why I think Cameron wasn’t there as a main cast
1. Cameron Boyce was doing the Descendants Franchise so he had to devote his time to those films at the same time Bunk’d was going on
2. I think Cameron had to do hospital visits pretty often at that time seeing as he sadly passed away I believe about the same season 3 came out
R.I.P. Cameron Boyce
I feel like things played out fine the way they did considering how they'd have to explain his death in universe if they kept him on up until he died.
@@doesthisIookinfected uh no they don't! At the end of season three all the Ross kids were gone doing their own thing. Give Luke a reason to leave and say he's currently doing that or something else and you don't have to kill him off. Take Fast & Furious for example. Paul Walker is dead but Brian O'Connor is alive raising his kid.
@@RomaroBrandon Sorry I didn't mean to literally kill him off on the show. I meant that since no one could predict his passing having Luke just disappear would be weird. But you made a point on how they could have phased him out of the show.
@@RomaroBrandonThey could’ve done an in universe death too tho. Chadwick Boseman is dead and T’Challa is dead too despite no signs of him being near death in the movies.
I remember only watching the 1st season when it came out, thinking it was a mid show and not really caring about it. I can't believe it actually lasted this long.
All honesty the first two seasons were the best part of the show but when season three hit it was kind of meh then later it just went all downhill from there
When I was as a kid, I honestly thought that being a child actor on a Disney sitcom would be great…..
I was a very naive kid.
Why so? Most turned successful later
@@sarvathavicharsheel7487success does not mean that much if you have a mind of a twelve year old at age of 24.
@@kingalastor936i don’t think that happens too often, they just have to separate the whacky disney show from real life
@@치추이 That happens to a majority of child/teen celebs. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber Macaulay Culkin, Robert Downey Jr, Judy Garland, etc.
2:03 I think that pilot she referred to did get made but under a new name, “Our Kind of People”. It was in 2022 but ended after one season.
Who wants liv & Maddie
I would rather see Good Luck Charlie getting more seasons and episodes than Bunk'd tbh 🤷
Personally, i would rather have one last season of I'm In The Band
Yeah, I agree. It would've been a great Disney show to have more than 4 seasons. Have the Duncan kids grow up, come back and visit maybe. Make it more kinda true to life, where good families like the Duncans never really fall apart, and kids would grow up and then move out, though, some might come back (I'm thinking PJ and Gabe would've probably moved back in at one point), and see their lives as Charlie and Toby become teenagers and adults, and Bob and Amy become grandparents, and great-grandparents, etc.
no doubt about it. i loved good luck Charlie,had a bunch of laughs
Personally I think, the fate of the Prime Disney Channel universe relies on if Raven’s Home & The Villains of Valley View gets renewed.
cause in a tweet about the Valley View S2 Finale, there was an nod to Lab Rats (specifically “Rats On A Train”), that one of the creators confirmed that VV could be in the same universe as Lab Rats.
But that’s how I see it, love the vids by the way🤙🏽
I’m so glad that Bunk’d is finally ending. I didn’t understand why it kept getting renewed for more seasons. The last season I actually enjoyed was season 4. After that, I got bored of Bunk’d. I thought season 5 was decent, but then in seasons 6 and 7, it became a western thing for some reason, and I was like, what? It wasn’t even Bunk’d anymore in seasons 6 and 7. But yeah, I’m glad that Bunk’d is finally ending. Raven’s Home on the other hand I think is still a really good show and I hope it gets renewed for another season 👍
Yeaaa seasons 6 and 7 have been a noticeable step down but I still think season 3 is the worst season imo at least. That said, I am bittersweet to the ending of bunk'd. Don't get it twisted it really should've ended in season 5 but it marks the end of a 13 year journey for me since I started watching jessie when I was in 7th grade and now its spinoff is ending right as I'm finishing college. I'm excited to see how these last 10 episodes pan out
@@darwinbowman8512 how is season 3 the worst season? It has the Ross kids in it
@@jakobwhite730 my reasoning is that, to me, it feels like a phoned in season. It felt like the actors weren't giving it their all at that point. On top of them not really fleshing out the cocnept of the Ross's running the camp. Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany weren't properly written out. I really sincerely hated the stereotypes of the characters especially in this season with zuri and ravi. Ravi being the butt of the joke got old and zuri just became more and more unlikably selfish. The writing of Finn, Destiny, and Mateo was the biggest thing i hated the most of that season. Destiny and Mateo were basically young carbon copies of existing characters and finn was just painfully unfunny. However, they got exceptionally better by season 4 and got properly fleshed out. If you ask me, season 4 is my favorite season of the whole show and I remember wanting to hate it when it first aired. Seasons 6 and 7 aren't far off quality wise but I think there is more passion put in those seasons than season 3. It's not as bad other seasons of television but it just feels half baked.
@@darwinbowman8512 yeah, they definitely could’ve done a lot more with the concept of the Ross’s running the camp. I thought it was weird that Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany weren’t even mentioned at least once. Hazel did mention Xander in the episode when she returned in season 4, but that was it. There was no other mentions of Xander, Jorge, and Tiffany. Destiny, Matteo, and Finn definitely weren’t the best characters in season 3, but they were adorable. They got better in season 4. But I still think season 3 isn’t the worst season because it has the Ross kids in it.
YEAH IT GOT BORING
I remember watching this back in like, 5th, 6th, or 7th grade, idk, I honestly felt like 12-year old me liked the show, but now growing up now, at age 15, it kinda felt like another Live-Action "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movie-type show. And it was still running up until 2023? THAT'S INSANE
Glad I saw this cause it wasn't until you went into Austin & Ally and That's So Random that I was CONVINCED, I'd enjoy watching
Even though I stopped watching the show a long time ago, this was still considered a Jessie spinoff. Futhermore Jessie was a big part of my childhood so this is kinda bittersweet for me.
Booker from Raven's Home made an appearance in Saturday's but since that got canceled, there's nothing outside of Raven's Home to keep the universe going.
Here's hoping for something in Villian's of Valley View I guess.
You haven't watched Secrets of Sulphur Springs? It seems to be more like your thing than mine.
saturdays got cancelled ??😭😭
@@realestsiennaSince the marketing was ass, are we really surprised? I found out about it by chance
@@andiman44 true, they didn’t really try 😭😭
@@AJ-xc4qe that just got cancelled.....
i kinda don't get why Disney Channel's on a massive axing spree as of late (maybe it's because of Disney+ or them being impacted by company budget cuts or something)
It's crazy this show still went on after not having cable for awhile. I actually highly enjoyed this spin-off of being a continuation of Jesse. I thought that was a genius idea for a continuation of a story. I mean it makes sense to keep bringing in new kids between seasons to have it parralell with irl summer camp. That's gnious marketing. I give props to disney for keeping it on air this long even though most of the og crew already left by s3 onward. I sadly had to miss rest of s3 onward due to no cable. might have to give it a rewatch sometime. Sad to hear it's ending though. after all the years.
I’m a teenager and bunkd started when I was about 6-7 or so I think. It’s so crazy to see it coming to an end, it feels like it’s been around for most of my life. Ive still been keeping up the seasons and while its gone downhill since season 3 Its just fun to go back to when I was younger
After the ross siblings left it became its own show instead of a spinoff
I guess you can say that this show has been DEBUNK'D!
Regarding the shared universe, it's possible that Villains of Valley View will establish itself as part of Disney Prime. It's stylistically so similar to the other sitcoms in Disney Prime and its superhero focus is just begging for a connection to Mighty Med or Lab Rats. I'm somewhat confident they'll connect themselves to the Mighty Med with a cameo or reference before ending the show.
well considering they tried to connect mighty med and labrats together before and we saw how that went...im not so sure they'll do anything with either of those old shows
So this has been a massive shared sitcom universe going all the way back to the black-and-white days, and it's finally ending? FINALLY, now I can start "I Love Lucy" from the beginning and catch up without worrying about more things being added.
It’s not dead the universe, a Revival for Wizards of Waverly Place is on the works with part of the og cast
After Season 3 began I quit watching Bunk'd. It jus wasn't the same without Jorge, Xander, and Tiffany. The were a big part of the show. So was Gladys and I forgot her name and the Weasels.
I thought the show was over last year…boy am I out of touch with Disney.
Finally can't believe that show lasted that long and with all those cast change, to me I lost interest when Ross family left the show
Same
Yep, if this show had nothing to do with Jessie in the first place, I wouldn't have even watched it. The same way I wouldn't have watched KC Undercover if Zendaya wasn't the lead actress in the show
I remember seeing a couple episodes and thinking, _Why is Emma acting like Jessie? This is a complete 180!_
Emma had best character arc and Lucy the worst, she became more and more shallow
Ravi was same since start to end
Friday January 12th, 2024
I was hoping that Bunk'd would end in 2025 since the series started in 2015. Also, take the season 3 finale for example.
Towards the end of Season 3 (09/21/2018), the Ross kids sold the camp to Lou for $1. Lou then told them that she wanted to turn it into a camp for underprivileged kids with all 3 Rosses agreed to. Zuri also mentioned that Timmy can finally come camp but never came out of the woods in Seasons 4-7 & his name was never mentioned.
The only reason why I remember Jessie is because of the monitor lizard. Also because the characters were in a crossover Halloween special with Ultimate Spider-Man.
Disney is literally the epitome of quantity over quality
Fun fact: Bunk’d destroyed the Jesse cannon. The show Jesse had a crossover with another Disney show, Austin and Ally. We also know that Bunk’d is canonical to the universe because of the kids from Jesse showing up(sorry been so long since I’ve watched, forgot majority of the names). However, in later seasons, one of the actors from Austin and Ally shows up in Bunk’d, the one that plays the secondary female protagonist, but as a DIFFERENT CHARACTER. Not the same one she played in A&A. So the universe is in a paradox unless that character from A&A had a long lost sister or doppelgänger. Not 100% sure, but I think the actor for the secondary male character in A&A also showed up as a different character for Bunk’d. Could be wrong tho, but definitely the female actor was in both shows as different characters.
Edit: Started ACTUALLY WATCHING the video and the names came flooding back, at least for the Jesse characters. But I think the female characters the actor from A&A and Bunk’d played was Trish, I think from A&A if I remember correctly.
The same thing happened with the Wizards, Suite Life and Hannah Montana crossover. Even though Miley and Selena didn't meet during those episodes, Selena had a small role in one of the Hannah Montana episodes. So there's 2 Selenas in the same universe as well. And there's also 2 Bridgits because of Good Luck Charlie and Wizards.
@@fosminclorin theres also two china anne mcclains because im pretty sure wizards and ant farm are connected
She's in descendents too
There’s a theory that there’s doppelgängers in the Disney universe or possible clones from spells in the wizard world
Yeah, I totally get what you're saying! Disney Channel definitely hasn't lost its magic. They're still bringing back some of their classic cartoons, which is super exciting. I think Disney Channel is always looking for new and interesting shows to keep us entertained. As for Bunk, I understand why people might be wondering about it. It was a spin-off of Jessie, right? And as for Raven's Home, I don't think the universe is ending just yet. Disney Channel has gone through some changes, but it's still the same channel we know and love. They might be doing things a little differently now, but they're still bringing us awesome content. Let's stay positive and see what cool things Disney Channel has in store for us!
9:10 wow ravens home was fr the first to come, and might become last to leave 😭 (for disneys part)
Omg I just realized that 🫢
Bro I honestly thought Jessie would make a cameo in Bunk’d. But I lost hope after the Ross kids left 😔
I haven’t thought about this show till I saw a commercial a few months ago and realized none of the Jessie kids were there anymore I wonder just who was really still fucking with it after they left
I really hope they renew Villains of Valley View. It’s the best show that’s currently on the channel.
Wow, I was surprised when it went past a 4th season and honestly thought this show would be never ending...or at least make it to a season 10. If it's cancelled to bring in new sitcom shows, then I'm glad because Disney Channel has really been slacking in that department lately. The only consistenly running live action shows they have are Ravens Home, Bunk'd, ans Villains of Valley View. 2 of these are now pretty much ending, so ya..they need new shows.
It will be heartbreaking if the multiverse comes to an end.
I still have Socks and Sandles stuck in my head for all of these years.
Essentially, this is the tween sitcom equivalent of Grey’s Anatomy, where everyone except for one actor wanted to move on to other things because the show was going on for longer than they expected 😂
This is crazy this show lasted me in middle school, moving to a new high school after middle school and all of my 4 years in highschool + my college years.
But wasn't the whole premise of the show being a Jessie spin-off with ties to that show through the Ross kids? Seeing how they deal with life without their nanny and living in the wilderness? Season 3 was the logical ending.
Watched religiously from season 1-3 then watched 4 as it looked alright and I wanted to see how it was without the Jessie cast and the others, but only watched the first and last episode of season 5. Crazy how long it has been on for.
Disney seems to be killing off all their live-action shows in favor of cheaper cartoons.
I really miss the 2010-2015 era.
ngl the fact that bunkd went thru all that js to have the show cancelled
I was at my friends house and his a little sister was watching bunked and I thought the show got cancelled years ago and I said “there still doing reruns?” And my friends little sister said” this is a new episode” and my mind was blown.
P.S. haven’t watched any of the new episodes though lol
Y'know, there was a show here in Brazil called "Malhação" that worked similarly to that! Every year it was a completely different story with a completely different cast and even different themes, all retaining a sort of visual identity.
It ran for years from the 90s all the way to the 2010s and was really only cancelled bc of streaming killing any interest of the target demographic (that is teenagers) in brazilian works of fiction.
Fun fact: Jerry Trainor made an appearance in one episode (i don't remember the episode)
9:22 Yeah, so we all unanimously agree to just ignore the fact Full House was referred to as a TV show in Mighty Med in season 2 episode 14, correct?
Granted though an easy explanation can just be that the events of full house in universe was adapted into a tv show where its story still happened. Like the Sonic and FANF universes
It's also possible that there's just a tv show called "Full House" in that universe that has a completely different plot from the actual show and has nothing to do with it. Considering we never actually see footage from what the show looks like from their standpoint
@@MrNostalgia That’s entirely fair and understandable. Especially considering almost every other pop culture reference made in Mighty Med has been a parady of existing franchise in our world and not the actual thing. So Full House being the only exception would be weird
Bunkd is like an American Tracey beaker with the replacement characters that are one note but dumping ground the spin off is currently 12 seasons in
I think it’s kinda interesting that this and Raven’s Home were the main shows that had been carried the network for a while. And while I don’t think their newer live action shows are bad, you can tell they are really struggling to find new ideas for their sitcom since they are now putting more focus on their animated shows. Which isn’t a bad thing.
Honestly I think it’s kinda ironic how from the late 2000s to late 2010s, Disney Channel was pumping out so many live action shows and ideas that they barely had enough room for animated shows like Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls, and Wonder over Yonder to air on the channel but around 2018-2020, they now have a lot of animated content and shows like Big City Greens, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and Hailey’s On It on their main channel more than the live action shows.
Even animated shows that were exclusive to Disney XD like Star vs The Forces of Evil, Ducktales (2017), and Big Hero 6: the series aired and reran some of their episodes on the main channel.
So this is how I find out BUNK’D was still going lol
Same💀 it’s honestly insane, I literally forgot abt this series and I think I only saw the fist 2 or 3 seasons
I used to Watch Bunk’d a lot during the first 2 seasons. I didn’t mind season 3 but season 4 was when I lost interest
i remember when i was around 3rd grade, every time we would have indoor recess or snack time, our teacher would put in bunkd for us too watch. that was around like season 3 when we started watching, and i had no clue they did 4 more seasons😭
Same reason doctor who manages to run since the 60s. When you have a built-in excuse to just change the entire cast whenever you want, theres nothing holding you back (other than quality, of course)
CN possible coming to an end this year, the Disney Channel prime universe possibly ending, Nick
This could be a nightmare year for all of our childhood. Buckle up.
Imagine the early 2000s CN shows today; Power Puff Girls, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy, Dexter's Labatory. Those shows I grew up with it wasnt till I was older that I started watching Disney
However with how things have played out since 2020 I think those shows would get over more now
I watched Jessie but I never watched Bunk'd because I was 16 when that show started. It was the first time I didn't watch a Disney spin off of a show I had watched. I quit watching Disney pretty much right at that time. When I found out it had been renewed past the standard 4 season run of a Disney show, I got so annoyed because I wanted that so badly for my shows growing up. I understand why it would have never worked but I just wish Disney ran things a bit differently. Like shows on other networks. Such as Boy Meets World. Seeing the characters off to college, married, etc. I know that would never happen with Disney shows but I would've watched shows like Wizards and The Suite Life forever truly. Your comment about Bunk'd being able to bring in new kids reminded me of Degrassi. Those kids were rarely followed past high school(except for a few characters in the earlier seasons of TNG). Degrassi got away with the same thing. 16 seasons and a spin off because they could change the cast whenever they needed to.
This is way past my time, but my little sisters grew up with it. and it’s like a classic for them. So definitely resonated with that age group
also the carti instrumental 😏
It got worse at season 3 and fell of completely at season 4 it got boring and lou just isnt lou. And the new cast just isnt the same
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SMALL CREATOR OMG YOU’VE GROWN SO MUCH!!
I WATCHED YOUR FIRST EVER VIDEO WHEN IT CAME OUT ABT THE DISNEY MULTIVERSE AND YOU HAVE EXPLODED OMG… DESERVED!!
