For example, the first 3 seasons of Rugrats were humorous. Had adult stupidity through the eyes of babies. Satire and irony to the max. Angelica calling people idiots, etc.Then the 4th season the babies seem to devolve into googoo gaga poopy jokes. The nuance is gone, its just inane slop.This is why I take issue with people saying "Pokemon is a series for children, why are you complaining?"No shit its for kids, but they fail to realize it doesn't have to be toddler level slop.WTF
It's a kids show, dude. Why are you complaining?
>>152145835it's not that bad but that's what happens when shows run long
>>152145835Those first 3 seasons are a completely different writing team and they're one production order of 65 as was the style of the timeRugrats got huge in reruns and Nickelodeon started to realize Nicktoons was working but by the time they ordered new seasons the main guy who had co-created the show, the guy whose baby Tommy was based on, had left to go make Recess
>>152145835>Then the 4th season the babies seem to devolve into googoo gaga poopy jokes. The nuance is gone, its just inane slop.Paul Germain left to do Recess and took all his writers with him. It's that simple.
Yes I understand the writing crew left, but at the same time it seems like most series get absolutely transformed the further along it goes.They try to reach a bigger audience but dumb it down in doing so.
>>152145835the creative juices run out, the jokes become horses in the glue factory, the life experience is spent, what you had to say has already been saidened, and new blood from new writers just isn't enough to revitalize an entire series orelse it becomes a different interpretation or entirely new flanderization character.
dil ruined everything
>>152146143This, happens to the best of 'em
>>152147383This is a great example of the same problem, Futurama started getting half its writing staff cut by season 4By the revival, half that again and add new staffComedy Central half that again and add new staffBy Hulu we have what could almost be called a ship of Theseus problem
