S10 a marked improvement

I actually enjoyed it from start to finish, whereas season nine was a real drag. Sure, in many ways it's still the same old formula, but at least a lot of the jokes landed this time and the celebrity guests were used expertly.

Big fan of the ending, too. They'll probably just start off next season by bringing Julian straight back, but I'll reserve some hope that they'll use his departure as a reason to take all the boys out on the road. Or at least have some minisodes on their swearnet platform about the search for Julian.

The show at this point has run out of steam and ideally the best way to go about it is just leaving as it is. Julian leaves Sunnyvale, whilst Ricky and Bubbles live their life on the park as they've always did.

It isn't the feel of the classic seasons, but even with its faults I still love the characters and feel like I'm having a fun time when i watch. Snoop and friends showing up worked better than I expected as well, I wasn't sure how they were going to play that angle. I'm looking forward to season 11.

Best season for this show since Trevor left IMO.

That's my main problem with it. It's the same thing over and over again. Ricky is trying to go straight. The boys are at risk of getting kicked out of the park so Julian comes up with some scheme to get rich but it goes wrong. Julian acts like a dick and Ricky and Bubbles get mad at him. Lucy gets mad at Ricky for doing the scheme and Ricky gets mad and does something stupid. Lahey falls off the wagon and goes berserk. The boys manage to do another scheme and get enough money to save the park.

I didn't hate this season. I liked it better than the last one. I still think I'm done with the show. I laughed a few times but, really, I'm just tired of the same formula over and over and over. The show hasn't been really good since Season 6. I hated the celebrity cameos this season. I hated Candy. I hate JROC's kid. Everything else was just OK. There were some good jokes here and there, but no enough to keep me interested. What happened to Ricky didn't affect me at all because they already did the heart attack thing before. Lahey's confession seemed way out of left field. I didn't like it at all. I have a feeling that if you watch the early seasons, that there's probably some continuity problems with it, too, but I don't know. The next time I rewatch the early seasons, I'll look for one.

Big fan of the series since the 00's and was looking forward with anticipation. For the most part, It just was not that good. Like some has said above, they follow the same tired formula. I disliked what they did with Lahey, the storylines were dumb, I fast forward any of the JRoc and kid scenes. I liked the transvestite Donna, hated making her a thug. The celebrity cameos, why? Snoop Dogg is hilarious and think should have his own tv show, but others might disagree.Tom Arnold needs to go back to Iowa, and sticks. Shotgun in his mouth.

Honestly, there is a bunch of stuff and stories that can be done here. But this old routine is getting stale.

Loved this season, best season since 7.
It would be prefect if they just leave it here, fantastic ending.

Season 7's season finale was perfect to end the show there but Season 10's season finale could very well end everything. Y'know, since Julian's distanced himself from the rest of the Sunnyvale members and Ricky/Bubbles.
