I agree, season 4 sucks beyond thought.

No It doesn't

It doesn't! And Patrick IS funny! Mr. Krabs is a funny character, so he deserves to be in almost every episode! The only things wrong with it are SOME of the storylines. The other thing that sucks is that they're forgetting characters like Larry the Lobster and Scooter!

I made of list of Spongebob characters that season 4 don't seem to want to show a lot of (or haven't
shown at all yet).

1. Gary
2. Sandy
3. Mrs. Puff
5. Larry
6. Scotter
7. Plankton
8. Patchy the Pirate (in his own home)
9. Potty the parrot
10. Pearl
11. Spongebob's Parents

Taking Gary for example, how many episdoes will it take before they finally show them?

The cause of all this is that Stephen Hillenburg was fired from working on the show for having SpongeBob and Patrick being gay(which I TOTALLY disagree with). Only the writers are in charge now, and they forget minor characters(which do help the show in some way because they make sense to be part of the storylines) and some main characters don't appear as much as before. Sandy hasn't been appearing much lately, due to her minority appearence in season 3(which was an improvement). The episodes have to be fast-paced to fit into the limit of 21 minutes. Blame Nickelodeon for that because every show is now fast-paced on that network! Season 4 may be just as good(or a little worse) than season 1, but it is still good. I just wished that Nick didn't fire Hillenburg, the "mastermind" behind the show.

Come now, Season 4 isn't that bad. Mr. Krabbs is a liitle overused i guess, Gary & Larry and Mrs. Puff are in few episodes, but they aren't forgotten, cuz i saw Larry in 3 eps this season. Pearl's been in like 7, i don't think she's a minor cheratar anymore. SpongeBob's voice has changed, but it was low in Help Wanted, and it's gotten higher the whole show, maybe it's hard for Tom Kenny to keep doing it the same way all these years, i don't blame him.

Season 4 isn't that bad, i don't like good negihbor or karate island that much though, Meramd man and barnicle boy 6 isn't so bad, and where's gary either.

I only saw Larry in Good Neighbor. What other eps does he appear in?

FINALLY I meet some people who understand what's happening to poor SpongeBob! His voice has changed, and the show has gone from witty and hilarious to slapstick-like, stupid humor. SpongeBob has kind of lost his personality (his emotions were never that obvious before). Now he cries or laughs at ANYTHING, which is OOC. Dunces and Dragons was OK, but there were some OOC quotes and actions I noticed:

-Patrick saying, "I'm not sure there's anything I can add at this point" was totally out of his character. It makes me wonder whether they were too lazy to try and think of a witty Patrick-like comment to put there, or if they're trying to change Patrick. Either one wouldn't be a good sign.

-Okay, I'm not going to try and be nice here, I'm just going to tell it like it is: Giving the jellyfish dragon a Krabby Patty to make it stop attacking them was a very pitiful excuse for an ending. What happened to good endings? Personally, I thought it would have been better if they had kept it in the jellyfish net (that way, it would have ended in character for SpongeBob and Patrick, cause they love jellyfishing, and giving them the jellyfish net as a weapon earlier would have fit in better).

Now, it wasn't THAT bad. Some of the quotes were perfect, like the "How's that mutton, Patrick?" "Me thinks it's Mutton-tastic!" diologue. The other episodes were pretty bad, though.

Like Funny Pants! That one was OOC for SpongeBob, and again, way overboard with his emotions. SpongeBob doesn't laugh about EVERYTHING! They just wanted to overdo that because that was the entire point of the eppi. Honestly, it was too OOC to do a plotline like that, so why did they do it? Because they were out of ideas. I could really tell they were out of ideas when I first saw the commercial for All That Glitters. That commercial just ANNOUNCED that it was going to be a bad one. They could only think of ONE line to say that rhymed (Situation serious, this is no joke, what's a sponge gonna do when his spatula's broke?). And honestly, making an entire episode around the fact that he breaks his spatula? That's pathetic! Besides, if he can't get a replacement spatula because he misses his old one so much, why does he want those new spatulas so much in Working Pearl? Ugh...

Come on, Nick, you can do better than this! Come up with some better episodes or BRING STEPHEN BACK!

D: Awwwww.... I miss Stephen too.

He did do a good job, i agree with Kaybee_2.
