Line 295:
* Season 4 of [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] due to the show never being the same; Stephen Hillenburg notably changed his position in the production after [[The Movie]] which was supposed to be the finale.
** It should be noted that the post-movie seasons are seen as being anywhere from watchable to actually good depending on the episode, barring season 5 and 6 and mostly anything by Casey Alexander and Zeus Cervas, which most people wouldn't disagree fits here.The show has also gotten much more grotesque compared to the earlier seasons.
*Chris Savino's run of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' (seasons 3 and 4) and ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' (seasons 5 and 6) were heavily criticized by fans due to the fact that these seasons made [[Executive Meddling|without the original creators]] after the shows were [[Uncancelled]] due to boring plots, ungodly amounts of [[Flanderization]], and a really unfitting art style. Plus, with ''Dexter's Laboratory'', they got rid of the Justice Friends and Dial M for Monkey segments.
* Fans of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' have wildly varying opinions on which seasons were good and which ones sucked, but you will find very few supporters of Season 11.<ref>(For reference, this is the season that killed off Maude Flanders, had Barney give up drinking, made Apu and Manjula the parents of octuplets, and presented whimsically self-referential episodes like "Saddlesore Galactica", "Missionary: Impossible", and "Behind the Laughter".)</ref> It was, for lack of a better way to put it, sort of the bridge between "Old Simpsons" and "New Simpsons"—for fans of the former, it was the season that killed the satirical, yet heartwarming humor of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' in favor of being a [[Lighter and Softer]] (yet still wacky and crude) ''[[Family Guy]]'' clone. For fans of the latter, it was an uncomfortable in-between season which was trying way too hard to decide whether it should go back to being the way it was in its early days or go in a new direction. To this day, it's ''still'' trying to decide.
* While ''[[Futurama]]'' is consistently good, it has an in-universe example in the form of ''Everybody Loves [[The Hypnotoad|Hypnotoad]]'', which has been going downhill since season three.<ref>according to someone immune to the mind control which is its main draw, anyway</ref>
