I haven't kept up with the show since season 10, but I've regained interest lately and I do plan on rewatching the old seasons and catching up on what I've missed. Anyways, here is my ranking from memory.Good Seasons 1: Season 22: Season 13: Season 3Order of the first 3 seasons is very subject to change. Season 3 is below 1 and 2 because I remember not liking how Season 3 barely used Sandy, and it had 3 mediocre specials and a few other lackluster episodes toward the end of it. Its still a fantastic season of course.4: Season 9B - This was an insane breath of fresh air. This still has its duds which is the only reason this is lower than Seasons 1-3. Overall, all of the characterization issues are fixed, the episodes are jam packed with humor and charm (with a good variety of dialogue humor and more cartoony humor), the side characters are given chances to shine, and the concepts are the most varied and creative the show has ever been to this point. Okay Seasons: 5: Season 4 - first half of it is actually really good, but 2nd half fell hard into mediocrity.6: Season 5 - so many fantastic episodes, but also so many duds sadly. Future seasons should have kept the shorts, it works well for Spongebob.7: Season 8 - unlike seasons 6/7, the show actually tries a lot of interesting and creative ideas and uses Sandy a lot, and there is much less Squidward torture here. And they actually learned how to do good specials here! Sadly, characterization is still flawed in many episodes (Patrick is still way too jerky), and there is just not enough humor. 8: Season 9A - Very similar to Season 8, but imo the good episodes werent as good, and the bad episodes werent as bad (with the obvious exception of Spongebob You're Fired).(1/2)
9: Season 10 - Plenty of good elements here, but man I just found that the storytelling was dumbed down and it was way too focused on hyperactive cartoony gags and slapstick. And I remember it having much less creative plots and more repetition than 9B. This was very disappointing after how great 9B was.Bad Seasons:10: Season 7 - This is above Season 6 because there is less Squidward torture and it doesnt feel quite as repetitive or gross. Still, most episodes are bad or mediocre and characterization is not good.11: Season 6 - Awful, just awful. A handful of good episodes doesnt save the sea of bad and mediocre episodes with a lack of humor, grossness, bad characterization and repetition.(2/2)
imo anything after the movie is absolute unwatchable garbage, I literally can't sit through a minute of it. That's what happens when you hire writers with no life experience and only references to experiences.
>>153326093I geniunely do recommend season 9b if you haven't seen any of it, that season fixed so much of what was wrong with the show post-movie.
>>153325781>Ranking>>>/v/
>>153326275Huh? This is about the cartoon, not video games
>>153325781Season 3 is weird because it starts off with some of the best most memorable episodes in the whole series, but then its last like third is honestly pretty unremarkable and the specials were indeed pretty bland. I've heard that near the end of the season the writers were really split between working on both it and the movie, and it shows.
>>153326275>/v/ invented ranking stuffTake a load of this newfag
>>153326093Eh, some of the very late Season 3 episodes are about equal to the best of Season 4. Pranks a Lot, The Sponge Who Could Fly, SpongeBob Meets The Strangler, = Krusty Towers, Mrs. Puff You're Fired, Skill Crane
>>153326782>implying
>>153326733Honestly, the first half of season 4 may be slightly better than the second half of season 3
Bump
I like season 5 better than 4.
>>153329707Season 5's good episodes are better than season 4's good episodes and season 5 certsinly has more energy, the issue is that season 5 has a lot more bad episodes than season 4 imo
