>>11304124610-17 aren't that bad
there are defiantly a good amount of decent episodes in those seasons. its just that they are painfully formulatic. They always have a music montage in each episode
The early HD seasons are even worse tbqh. they're just boring and depressing. Like all the characters are even written to be tired of their status quo. the color palette is even hard to look at
Its not until they improve the animation things get better
