I agree. While Season 4 isnt BAD, it is... lacking. What about the classics, like Pizza Delivery and Band Geeks?
I think the SB Movie was the first in the trend of less-good Spongebobs.
Slightly off topic: Does anyone else ABSOLUTELY HATE that stupid "Patchy the Pirate"? I think he sucks, and I wish Spongebob had NEVER been associated with something so stupid. When i watch episodes with Patchy, i cringe. they're better off without him. i fast forward past all the Patchy parts on my DVDs, but I can't help but see that idiot cavorting around on screen in 8x motion. hate him.
