Good season, but there's not much here that's remarkable, besides the episodes I consider great. Definitely a step up from the previous 3 seasons though.

I really really hope Season 9b isn’t lumped into the dark age with the rest. It isn’t surprising people burned out on 9a but I still love almost every episode this season.

9A is just awful. There are maybe like two good episodes.
9B has some great episodes (Tutor Sauce, Sanctuary, Sharks vs. Pods, Sold) but most of the rest just feel way too chaotic and WHOA ZANY for me. Some episodes have interesting concepts but poor execution (The Executive Treatment, Mutiny on the Krusty) others have some really good jokes or scenes that get lost in all the WACKY ADVENTURES (CopyBob DittoPants, Snail Mail, Salsa whatever the hell the name is). It's definitely better than seasons 6-9A but I completely disagree that it's seasons 1-3 level, maybe even not as good as 4 or 5. I miss the dialogue-based humor.

While there is some improvement over seasons 4-8, I still don't think this episode is on par with the first three seasons. In fact, it's not even close in my opinion. The biggest problems that were rampant here were, to me, the extremely hyper characterizations of the characters, most of the gags being visual with barely any dialogue-based humor, and many of the episodes feeling really underwhelming, not helped by how absolutely weird and zany some of the plots are.

Overall, the season receives a 6/10 from me.

The first half of Season 9 is very similar to Season 8, particularly because of the animation.
The second half, on the other hand, is much closer to Season 5.

As a hole, Season 9 sure is an improvement over the Seasons 6-8. This season did many things right, such as having the main characters in character most of the time. Patrick is a good example, even in the first half. :whoo:
And like Pieguyrulz said, Season 9A sure was creative when it came to Plankton.

Wait, did I say every main character was in character for the most part? Um... I take it back.
There's one character who mostly was NOT in character: Squidward. :squidugh:

I know I'm harsh on Squidward all the time, but it's mostly because of most SB reviewers out there. But it's also because of this very season. I HATE Squidward in this season! :mad: With the exception of The Sewers of Bikini Bottom, Yeti Krabs and Mutiny on the Krusty, Squidward is really nasty in almost every episode he appears in. People say he was never flanderized, but this season is a clear evidence of that.

Episodes like Patrick! The Game and The Whole Tooth need to be made more often, as Squidward got proper punishment for being such a meanie. And those two episodes were particularly satisfying after Little Yellow Book, Squid Plus One and The Executive Treatment.

Squidward's treatment in The Fishbowl was also satisfying to me after cameos like Picture Day and Sun Bleached.

Most overrated episodes: Squid Plus One and The Executive Treatment.
Most underrated episodes: Patrick! The Game and The Whole Tooth.
Most overhated episodes: Squid Defense, Spongebob, you're fired! and The Fishbowl.
Most underhated episodes: Little Yellow Book, Squid Plus One and The Executive Treatment.

I don't have any particular Bottom 5/ Top 5 yet, but let me share my current opinions on some episodes anyway:

Least favorite 9A episode: Little Yellow Book
Least favorite 9B episode: Squid Plus One

Favorite 9A episode: Plankton's Pet
Favorite 9B episode: The Whole Tooth
