Bunk'd (seasons 1 and 2)

Bunk'd (titled Bunk'd: Learning the Ropes for the sixth season) is an American comedy television series created by Pamela Eells O'Connell that premiered on Disney Channel on July 31, 2015 and is a spinoff of Jessie. Seasons 1 and 2 both consist of 21 episodes. Season 1 premiered on July 31, 2015 and ended on May 20, 2016. Season 2 premiered on August 23, 2016 and ended on May 24, 2017.

Despite these seasons we're mostly well-received by fans the show went downhill during seasons 3-onwards that received negative reception from fans due to the highly radical changes and that Disney cares more about Quantity over Quality, because of this, most fans keep rewatching this era of the show.

Season 1
Bunk'd centers around Emma, Ravi, and Zuri Ross leaving their glitzy New York penthouse and heading off to a rustic summer camp in Maine, where their parents happened to have met as teenagers. Ravi discovers that a fellow camper has a crush on him while Zuri becomes smitten with a new boy who’s out-of-this-world! Emma and Xander’s survival skills are put to the test when they lead the kids on an overnight trip. And, when the gang realizes how outdated the Kikiwaka website is, they decide to live stream from camp to bring it into the 21st century and and try to save it so wouldn't shutdown. Along with their new friends, Emma, Ravi and Zuri try their best to adapt to their new “home away from home” and settle into their exciting new lives at Camp Kikiwaka.

Season 2
Hello Campers! Get your “Woodchuck Salute” ready for more fun at Camp Kikiwaka!, Emma excited to reunite with her best friend at camp, Ravi continuing to be the family’s voice of reason and Zuri charming campers alike with her clever and spirited wit. Emma and Ravi resume their role as CIT’s (Counselor In Training) bringing with them the experiences from their first summer at camp. Together with Zuri, her best friend and bunk-mate Tiffany, the cheerful head counselor Lou, the camp heartthrob Xander, and the hilariously imaginative Jorge, the campers embark on new and exciting adventures during their stay at Camp Kikiwaka. The friends welcome an unexpected camper with a dubious past named Griff, Xander gets to showcase his musical talents, familiar faces return for a visit and special friendships are formed and solidified, all the while overcoming unforeseen encounters that arise.

Why We Want To Go To Camp KIKIWAKA!

 * 1) These seasons are a nice follow up from Jessie, as the Ross Kids have grown up and become more mature.
 * 2) The Ross Kids are still their old and charming selves.
 * 3) It is faithful to its parent series Jessie (until season 4)
 * 4) The new characters are very likable and have diverse personalities.
 * 5) * Lou is a tomboy farmer girl.
 * 6) * Tiffany is a child prodigy.
 * 7) * Jorge is a goofy and fart-fueled boy.
 * 8) * Gladys is a cynical camp runner.
 * 9) * Hazel is Gladys' crazy niece and Emma’s new rival.
 * 10) * Xander is Emma’s guitar playing boyfriend.
 * 11) * Griff is a former juvenile delinquent with a heart of gold.
 * 12) The Ross Kids being at summer camp is an interesting concept.
 * 13) Good chemistry between the characters.
 * 14) Decent acting.
 * 15) * Nice humor that has the same standards as the humor in Jessie.
 * 16) There are lots of funny and memorable moments, such as the running gag of Hazel competing with Emma for Xander's affection and the Woodchuck Cabin’s salute.
 * 17) Xander is a great love interest for Emma.
 * 18) The show can also be serious and emotional at time.
 * 19) * In "Dog Days of Summer", Lou finds out her dog died and almost leaves camp because of said reason.
 * 20) * In "Xander Says Goodbye", Xander's father wants him to leave camp to do football training and Emma doesn't want him to leave.
 * 21) * In "Live From Camp Kikiwaka", Emma, Xander, and Lou host a live stream to save the camp from closing down.
 * 22) The theme song is amazing and well-sung by Kevin Quinn.
 * 23) * There are also several episodes (such as Tidal Wave) that show off Kevin Quinn’s awesome guitar and singing skills.
 * 24) Even though he’s not the main character, Luke guest stars in the episodes, "Luke's Back" and "Luke Out Below".
 * 25) * Speaking of which, "Luke Out Below" was Cameron Boyce's final role as Luke Ross before his death in 2019.
 * 26) Other characters from Jessie return as well, such as Bertram in "Griff is in the House!" and Christina Ross in "Mother May I?"
 * 27) Awesome and realistic looking set designs.
 * 28) Good transitional music.
 * 29) Unlike most modern Disney Channel sitcoms, the laugh track is actually well used and doesn't play at almost every line.
 * 30) These seasons teach good morals, such as "real friends are better than online friends", "don't judge a book by its cover" "and work as a team".
 * 31) It is the first Disney Channel spin-off to have reach more then 4 seasons, though Seasons 3-6 we're not well-received.
 * 32) * It is also the first Disney Channel spin-off to get a season 4 despite the seasonal rot.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Jessie has never returned for a guest appearance in the show.
 * 2) A few of the characters can be unlikable at times, such as Gladys, Hazel, Jorge and Zuri.
 * 3) There is some gross-out and toilet humor:
 * 4) * Jorge farting in "Welcome to Camp Kikiwaka", the first episode of the show.
 * 5) * Lou's line "my belly button could be a hot tub for a gnat" in "Friending with the Enemy".
 * 6) * Tiffany's line "don't get your adult diaper in a bunch" in "Can You Hear Me Now?".
 * 7) Like in Jessie, Emma is still a dumb blonde stereotype.
 * 8) "Bride and Doom", "Camp Kiki-slasher" and "Fog'd In" can be scary for younger viewers.
 * 9) Tries to be hip and current at times, with modern slang like "besties" and "OMG" and the campers using smartphones.
 * 10) The Season 2 finale, "The Great Escape", only aired once on TV. Luckily, it can be watched on Mh:freshwebsites:Netflix.                                 (Or Mh:freshwebsites:Disney+ depending on where you live.)
 * 11) After these seasons, the show underwent a lot of unnecessary changes that caused it to go downhill.
 * 12) * In Season 3, Xander, Tiffany, Jorge, Gladys, Hazel (though she made a guest appearance in Season 4) and Griff (season 2) are removed without any explanation and are replaced with three pointless new characters, Destiny, Matteo and Finn. To make matters worse, said characters from the first two seasons aren't even mentioned, like they never even existed in the first place!
 * 13) * Season 4 is even worse, as Emma, (although she did guest star in the Season 5 premiere) Ravi and Zuri are removed from the series entirely, more pointless characters are introduced: Ava, Gwen and Noah and from this season onwards, Bunk'd is now considered its own separate show rather than being part of the Jessie franchise.
 * 14) * Season 5 is no better, if not worse, as Gwen is removed without any explanation and another pointless character is introduced, Parker Preston, whose is extremely annoying and unlikable.
 * 15) * Season 6 is another useless season, Ava, Finn, and Matteo have been removed with a explaination and being replaced with more pointless characters introduced Winnie, Jake, and Bill.
 * 16) Some bad episodes, even before Season 3.
 * 17) One particular minor character, Timmy, is written as nothing more than a Butt-Monkey.

Reception
The first 2 seasons of Bunk'd received mixed to positive reception from Jessie fans. However, the fact that Luke wasn't made part of the main cast and Jessie never made a guest appearance was disappointing for fans.

Trivia

 * It is the first Disney Channel show to reach more than 4 seasons.
 * Season 3 onwards of Bunk'd wasn't well received by fans.
 * Most of the actors of the first 2 seasons sadly didn't come back due to Disney remove them.
