Here we go, we're talking about a show I love right now. let's gather 'round the Mickey ears and read this post. Kikiwaka! (My sharing my story and love for a show about a summer camp in Maine and later a Ranch in Wyoming)

So like everyone here, i obviously grew up with Disney Channel. but at a different point

See I was born in 2002, meaning I'm 23 years old now (Jesus), and I start watching Disney Channel until the 2010's

Meaning that I have watched Liv and Maddie, Austin & Ally, Lab Rats, Gravity Falls, Kick Buttowski, KC Undercover, among others

And the show that is related to the topic of this post, Jessie

But by around 2014-2015, when Bizaardvark, Girl Meets World and others were new. I wasn't watching

Not because I grew out of Disney, but because YouTube and the YouTubers I watched had pulled me in more than any other year.

Fast forward to Covid times (2020-2021), and my family goes to the camp grounds to see some extended family

At some point in the night, I ask my second cousin who let's call M (she's old enough to be my aunt, so that kind of second cousin), if I can go in her camper and watch something on the TV

She says I can and so I do, I open Netflix and scroll a bit when I see a show, called "Bunk'd"

And I recognize Emma, Ravi and Zuri. I go "oh I remember watching Jessie growing up" and I press play

And I soon fall in love with the series, no genuinely, I do. even after Season 2

Then a while after, I'm not watching the show and I watch other stuff. even pushing down how much I like it, never mentioning it online unless I genuinely wanted to/had to

Because I was worried about the backlash I would get, then earlier this month I decided to watch Seasons 6 and 7 on Netflix (and Disney+ but that was before my mom's old account was gone and she made a new one. because she was fixing like what services she was paying for)

And it reminded me just how much I love the show

Because the show had kept my love for Disney and my Disney Magic alive, I genuinely think that had I not watched Bunk'd, had I not found that show about three of the Ross Kids going to a summer camp in Maine, I wouldn't have watched other Disney Channel (and even Nickelodeon) shows that I like/love very much, even non-Disney Channel shows

Like Liv and Maddie, Andi Mack, Stuck in the Middle, Coop & Cami Ask the World, Sydney to the Max, Modern Family, Hey Arnold!, Bubble Guppies and The Owl House. I attribute a little bit of the drive for me to watch those shows, to the fact that I watched Bunk'd, because otherwise I would've stayed sucked into YouTube and never watched any show on any streaming service

So yeah I want to show off my love for Bunk'd, even beyond the first two seasons. because I'm sick and tired of hearing the same complaints of how the show was better when it was just about the Ross Kids going to a summer camp and stuff like that, I get that different opinions exist but when that's the main opinion I hear. it starts to feel like online no one likes the show after the Ross Kids left in Season 3

I hope this doesn't come off as rude or an attack on those who do feel that way, because it's not. it's just coming from someone who loves Bunk'd so so much because of what it did for him and now doesn't want to shy away from being a fan of it anymore
