I hope it doesn't, i hope it goes on incessantly. It is inscrutable why so many people are critical to the new episodes. I love them. The writing is great. The ones that arn't really split-you-sides-from-laughter are still very enjoyable to watch. They aren't monotonous in the least in my stong opinionated opinion. They are using Mr. Eugene H. Krabs more often, further maddeing me towards the adverse critics. He has always been the best and funniest character, as I'm sure you all know. These new episodes crack me up. Why do some people think it needs to come to an end? If the writing is still so good, and the sho such a joy to watch, then WHY?!!! I don't think the show will ever be cancelled in the visible forseeable future. It is the most phanominally popular show ever to air on Nick. They make so much money in merchandise. So many, many people love it, they can't afford to end it. That is why I think we will enjoy many more new and glorious episodes, for years to come.
