I used to watch Spongebob occasionally. The series became crap right after Season 2. Season 1 was produced by Stephen Hillenburg, and it was somewhat enjoyable due to the unpredictability nature of the characters and art style that made the show funny. Season 2, produced by Derek Drymon, was still fun to watch because the hilarity was still preserved. And then came Season 3 and the rest that followed, which were taken over by that prick Paul Tibbitt. The animation style was completely changed - I suppose it was done via computer animation software like Flash, and the previous satirical humour is now lost, replaced by unfunny slapstick humour.
IMO Spongebob now easily qualifies for one of the most annoying TV characters ever. Such a shame that people who had no idea what made the first 2 seasons so amazing are now at its reins.
