Well, I'm a long-time fan. I'm disappointed in the new episodes, and I'd be glad to share why.

Spongebob's voice. Just, just, just compare it to the other seasons. Not too, I don't know, high-pitched any annoying? And his laugh... it's sorta changed. He doesn't really laugh with that sheep sort of accent anymore.

The writing and plots. They're not the same. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but yes, few. Before, the episodes draw you in, with clever writing, funny jokes, well-fitting music, and the plain old charming characters. Now the scenarios aren't really that funny, or interesting. And have you seen the best day ever? Sounds like a five or six-year old wrote it. And there aren't as many funny or interesting jokes or scenarios anymore. Also, what happenned to the interesting endings? Most of the beginnings are good, but not so much the endings.

 For example, Reef Blower drew the viewers in with a plot and theme reminiscent of old black-and-white shorts with no voice acting; which is pretty much what the episode was. Especially the fitting music.

For the endings, yeah, they leave the viewer with the thought that something's missing, as iff the end of the episodes just been clipped off. The other seasons weren't like that. You'd feel you've seen the whole episode, nothing missing, nothing clipped off. Like Sandy's Rocket. Sure, you didn't see what happenned next, but it doesn't feel rushed or clipped off, which is what the endings in the new episodes are like.

Well, I hope there's a season 5.

If the trene with shallow episodes continues, it might go down the drain.

Or worse. Go down the drain with an episode like "The Best Day Ever" as the series finale.

Yeah, I agree too, abby. Plus I find that somtimes its humor can be rude. I liked the 2002 episode the best.

Ever since the movie, it wasn't the same.

I don't like season four because they took all of the characters personalities and exaggerated them to extremes. Okay I'll show you what I mean.

SpongeBob: He was originally sort of dumb and kinda hyper. Now he's just hyper to absurd extremes bouncing all over the place and not having a second of intelligence.

Patrick: He used to be dumb, but still had his moments of intelligence. He also used to have his mentally ill moments. Now he's about as dumb as a rock. Now he's mentally ill 24/7.

Squidward: He used to be nice and feel sorry for people sometimes but was mostly grouchy. Then he had a reason to be grouchy. Now he gets ticked off for no reason whatsoever.

Sandy: Used to be smart, sweet, and southern. Now she's a genius. She's not as sweet anymore and all she ever does is smart things. I really miss the southern references.

Okay I think you get my drift. The only characters that stayed the same for me were Karen and Plankton. Mainly because their personalities are hard to be exaggerated I guess.....or maybe it's just because I love Plankton..... 

season 4 was getting less of the happy fun spongebob feel that usually comes along with seasons 1 through 3 season 4 comes with exaggerated humour and taking the jokes a little toooo serious it feels so rushed like the creators wanted it to be done and get it over with i hate that feel for example,dont you feel that wigstruck episode was too rushed?and too many of the same stuff repeated over and over again,i mean come on!the characters have changed too

squidward now gets angry over nothing bleagh!i really look down on season 4 compared to seasons 1 through 3.wow,that was corny
