>>106329709>>106329948Fuck off, S4 had plenty of kino episodes.
Krusty Towers
Have You Seen This Snail
Selling Out (possibly the best Krabs episode in the show)
Dunces and Dragons
Smart Patrick ep
Chimps Ahoy (quite possibly the best Sandy episode in the show)
Wishing You Well
etc.
Really, generally, S4 was better than S3. Sure, S3 had higher highs, but as a whole, it was pretty mediocre.
People need to stop this meme. It's not like the majority or even half the writers left after the movie. No, a lot of shitty episodes from later seasons were actually written by people who helped write some of the classics.
The real jumping off point for Spongebob should be not the movie, but the S05E01 episode "Friend or Foe", detailing the backstory of Krabs' and Plankton's rivalry. It's pretty good and is perhaps the closest the show ever came to telling a coherent somewhat serious story. It's a perfect note to end on, really.
