Line 290:
* Season 7 of ''[[Family Guy]]'', due to the amount of episodes [[Anvilicious|focused]] [[Writer on Board|on]] [[Author Avatar|Brian's political views]], as well as a few terrible episode premises (i.e. "Not All Dogs Go To Heaven"), massive [[Flanderization]] of the whole main cast (i.e. Peter's reckless behavior in "Baby Not on Board"), and, of course, [[Non Sequitur Scene|a five-minute long Conway Twitty cutaway]]. Part of the reason behind the seasonal rot can be attributed to the 2007-2008 WGA strike that plunged a lot of shows into getting canceled, going on hiatus, or suffering through seasonal rot.
*[[SpongeBob SquarePants]] experienced a steady decline in quality between the first and second movie after Stephen Hillenburg resigned as showrunner and was replaced by Paul Tibbet.
** Season 4 is generally considered to be the start of the decline. However, this season is still considered good and has since
**Season 5 isn't too bad either, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. While it has some memorable episodes, like "Friend or Foe", "Roller Cowards", "Spy Buddies" and "Pest of the West", it also has some infamous episodes, like "Fungus Among Us", "To Love a Patty", "Atlantis SquarePantis" and "Whatever Happened to SpongeBob?"
**Season 6 was a turning point for the series. It took the decline to new levels of low and worsened the problems of Seasons 4 and 5, with massive flanderization of characters, an overuse of gross-out humor ("The Splinter" is a prime example) and is the first season where the bad episodes outnumber the good ones.
