I keep hearing about seasons 1-3 being the only good ones. Is it true? Never watched Spongebob before. Recently watched a few episodes and considered watching the whole series.
The first movie and anything before that is good.
Avoid anything post first movie.

How is that physically possible? I'm actually kind of impressed

This, really. Apparently the first movie was supposed to be the finale, if I remember correctly.

OP here, I've heard that stuff about anything after the first movie. What happened after the first movie? What makes everything after it suck?

I've never seen a full episode either. It's easier to not care than you think

A bunch of people left the show, including the creator. The characters act differently and the jokes are worse.

Showrunner changed, tone and emphasis shifted. The plots actually became pretty barebones in my opinion. They have like 3-4 episode plots and they just do the same thing over and over again nowadays.

Didn't he come back for the latter half of S9 and the upcoming S10 though?

they're the best seasons, and the show definitely gets worse after the movie, although there's still the occasional decent episode afterwards, and supposedly some of the most recent episodes have improved by a lot due to the creator returning
I like seasons 1-3 the best. 1st movie is great. 2nd is good to watchable at best
