    For me, Season 5. But Season 6 got it going up again.

    Everyone will say Season 4, however I still disagree!

    Yeah, I have noticed that quite a few season 4 episodes have gotten decent ratings on TV.com as compared to the season 5 & 6 episodes.

    I am starting to like Season 5 a bit now. I don't understand it though: One episode is good, the next is bad, then good, bad and so on.

    The second half of season 5 was bad.

    Well, after seeing The Two Faces Of Squidward, I cannot disagree. It was appaling. However, the first half was very 50/50.

    It got bad with Money Talks/SpongeBob vs. The Patty Gadget/Slimy Dancing. What was up with all the 3-story episodes in that season?

    Maybe they thought using that idea would get more viewers or add something new to the show. Unfortunately, all it did was make fast-paced, annoying episodes. They tried to cram so much into such a short amount of time. I even think Sing A Song Of Patrick was fast-paced, even though I loved it.

    I think it's to air after movies. I'm pretty sure Nick asked them to do it. Kim Possible is the same way. Usually it's the full 22 minutes, but there is probably two 11 minute episodes per season. At least I think so.

    Season 4 was when it started going downhill

    Season 5 was extremely horrible

    Season 6 is starting to get better but it is no where near season 2 and 3 level

    I agree with you PokeSponge, I actually thought the Season 4 episodes were pretty good.

    Yeah I've noticed a change in the writing but I wouldn't say it's going downhill.

    Well, I guess a lot of fans still have mixed opinions.
