The article isn't too far off from GA status, but still has a bit of a ways to go (mainly due to its prose). I'll place the article on hold while you take a look at my comments, and will add this review on my watchlist as you respond (so please respond here when finished with your edits/replies). I will return and give it a final review. Thanks!  Ruby  2010/  2013  02:02, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * That first sentence in the lead is rather long; I suggest breaking it in two, perhaps after June 11, 2011.
 * Done.
 * The lead seems a bit sparse overall, as it is meant to summarize each section of the article body. Please add more content from the sections on Production, Cast, and Reception.
 * Done?
 * I'm not sure the Brown Johnson quotes need [...], since they are not breaking up any of his wording
 * Removed.
 * "Nickelodeon said on Wednesday, January 27, thatSpongeBob SquarePants..." -- space needed in there
 * Fixed.
 * No need to mention Brown Johnson's qualifications twice (the first time is sufficient).
 * Done.
 * "... to try something new where we can give SpongeBob's 16 million fans on Facebook a first look..." -- italicize SpongeBob
 * Done.
 * "...a miserly crab obsessed with money and SpongeBob's boss at the Krusty Krab;..." --> "...a miserly crab obsessed with money who is SpongeBob's boss at the Krusty Krab;..."
 * Done.
 * Watch out for tense shifts, especially in the Cast section: "Goodwin also guest starred..." but then you say "She lends her voice..."
 * Done? I'm sorry but I need you to check it again.
 * "The series received several recognition..." -- this doesn't make grammatical sense
 * Fixed?
 * Is Ian Jane referring to the overall series, or the seventh season? If the latter, it might be good to rephrase this to: "In his review of the seventh season for DVD Talk..."
 * Fixed.
 * You're using a lot of Ian Jane quotes; per WP:QUOTEFARM, is there anything you can rephrase into your own words? Same with the Josh Rode quotes.
 * Done?
 * "As for the character of SpongeBob, he criticized its voice ..." -- isn't SpongeBob a "he", not an "it'?
 * Fixed.
 * Are there any other reviews of the season out there? Perhaps on individual episodes?
 * Sorry but I can't find any more reviews. &mdash; Mediran  [talk]  06:58, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Ruby2010! Thanks for your comments! Sorry if it will take longer for me to work on the article because I'm very busy. Friday/Saturday maybe. Thanks! &mdash; Mediran  [talk]  10:12, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
 * No problem, take your time!  Ruby  2010/  2013  16:34, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Your changes look good. I am now passing this for GA status. Nice work!  Ruby  2010/  2013  20:40, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
