But it was rumoured that Stephen Hillenburg was leaving Spongebob. This turned out to be false, as insrtead, he was moved top executive producer. Along with this, several other writers for the show were replaced as well. With Stephen Hillenburg no longer being the show runner, and a majority of the writers being replaced, it was obvious that Spongebob was going to change. But it turned out this change was for worse. I mean, honestly, what was wrong with the show inetionally that made Nickelodeon to think it was a good idea to change all of the writers? Well whatever was running through their minds, I'l never know, and thus begining the era I cal "The Season 4 Era". Why do I call it this? Well the show wasn't mind blowingly entertaining as it was before, but it wasn't terrible. It was far from it. Actually, I think Season 4 was pretty decent. It felt like a cartoon, it made me laugh, it made me intruiged, and the writing wasn't the best, but it wasn't horrible. I consider season 4 to be the last moments where Spongebob was good. For one thing, the show still had a bit of good ideas left in it, like gary running away, Ms. Puff being replaced, it's all good ideas being pulled off in good ways. Plus, even with the original writers gone, I still laugh at some of the things that spongebob does. It still feels unique, anmd it almost feels like the original writers never left...almost. One real gripe I have against the show is how it looks. Is it me, or does Spongebob look more bright yellow than he should be. I feel like it has a stranger tint to it. It looks so awkward, I can tell season 2/3 episodes from season 4 just by looking at a screen shot. Also there are still some stuff that feels a bit dumbed down compared to previous episodes. I guess they wanted the how to appeal more to younger audiences and not older audiences, but that's just stupid. The voice acting is good as always. Tom Kenny is, once again, genius, and everyone else does just fine as well. But the thing is, everything that Season 4 did right, Season 2/3 did better. It looked better, it sounded better, It made me laugh more ("My Wallets"), and it was just a better show. If Spongebob continued in this direction, the show wouldn't be half bad. It'd be pretty good. Unfortunately, no. I have no idea what happend. Go to season 5+ for my review of the years of "The ughh... Era". Oh, god.… Full Review »

That's a bit unfair because it only declined a tiny bit. The stupider Patrick gets really, the funnier he gets and even Plankton is becoming more 3-dimensional. The only real criticism I agree with is that Patrick sometimes behaves overly mean to Spongebob which is really out of character for him. But despite all this it's still the same show we all love. Trust me, it's still a very good cartoon.… Full Review »
