I gave up on the show after episodes that were really mean-spirited like The Thing and A Pal for Gary aired, I've seen only a few episodes of Season 8 and 9, which were the Bumper to Bumper episode, Demolition Derby, the mini golf episode, the Plankton's dog episode, and the Christmas episode, are the rest of the seasons decent and actually remotely funny to all audiences like this or did it return to rcok bottom writing again? I haven't really checked out the new episodes.
