>>96474519I agree with you on Chowder, but Harvey Beaks can’t really be “bland” because there’s straight-up nothing else like it on TV, and probably hasn’t been since Moomins.
It’s so sincere and sentimental, which is pretty different from the stuff in the current zeitgeist, which is all descended from Adventure Time’s hip and cool millenial speak. I like that it’s not wacky and has a heart, likable cute characters, great music and beautiful backgrounds.
Also Carl wrote so many absolutely amazing classic Spongebob episodes that he can’t possibly be a hack
