As for my example, Family Guy.

Weren't the later seasons animated by a completely different studio?

At least they had the decency to rename the crap season.
>>
>>92951914
I though Seasons 5 and 6 were great, but Season 6 just felt unnatural. All the old writers had gone to different projects, there was a new influx of writers who didn't really get the feel of the show, and the character dynamic suffered with Starlight Glimmer being plopped in the main cast. 2016 was a bad year, and seeing both MLP (and South Park; Season 20 went off the rails after Trump won) decay like that didn't make things any better.

Season 7 has been a huge improvement, though. I just regret spoiling myself by watching all the episodes early on Treehouse (long story), because now there won't be anything to watch until July.
>>
>>92951424
AMAZING it was on when I was a kid in the '80's. It was a joint Japanese/Italian (?) production, the characters were great, it was all very comfy....I don't think it went completely to shit though, desu.
>>
>>92953624

6 had some few good episodes, but 7 is better, there hasn't been any really bad episode yet, at least not for me.
>>
>>92953624
I still have hope for South Park. S18 and S19 were weird, but they weren't straight up crap like S20 was. I feel like they just got way too balsy with the Memberberries storyline, and when Trump won the whole fucking script just fell to pieces.
>>
>>92951717
Actually, it got better and better.
>>
>>92951797
They decided to pander to bronies. The show was great at first, when it was a "girl power series with actual combat but also SOL shit" like Powerpuff Girls was, but then they decided to shit it up by writing specifically for bronies.

http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Slice_of_Life

This episode shows everything wrong with modern MLP. They took all the shitty fanfic ideas and made them cannon. They named a generic brown horse with an hourglass symbol "Dr. Hooves", and they gave him a scientist job (which conflicts with his cutie mark in canon) and a fucking british accent for a Dr. Who parody, they made a DJ and a fancy violin player live together and gave them the shitty fanfic names the fandom gave, they added a literal horse-mask joke, and that's the tip of the iceberg from a single episode.

>>92957474
Your kind of purist whiners is the worst.
>>
>>92957474
dude it was one episode and it was the 100th one, no expected it to last that long. It was a fuvking thank you to the fans who made it possible, and NONE of that shit has been brought up in future episodes. It was a fucking "have fun" episode.

get over yourself, you act like the entire show was like this episode after this one.

Meant to say Seasons 4 and 5.

>>92951797
Disregard everything that the other posters are saying, I will tell you the real reason.
When Twilight became an Alicorn it disrupted both the character dynamics between the Mane 6 as well as her own role and dominant traits. She was no longer the level-headed book horse, but instead became this fucking Jesus figure of friendship. Not only that, but the show was starting to veer away from the D&D type fantasy elements it originally had in an effort to make the ponies seem more anthropomorphized (which was made more apparent when the animators stopped trying to build the world within the realm of pastel-colored equine quadrupeds), and thus episode plots began to border on the mundane than the magical in terms of subject matter.
Season 6 was going back up in quality, and 7 is shaping up to be a rebound for the series. Glimmer is a great replacement for Twilight, being much more in line with her S1/S2 role but having a complete different set of traits and background to work with, giving a nice amount of variety to the show's usual flare.

Season 7 already had the best episode in recent years. I am alright with what's going on for now but I know the movie is going to fuck everything up somehow.
Also holy shit we're talking about mlp on /co/ are the mods asleep?

I know OP said great cartoons, but when something like pic related starts at a low point one wonders how it ever got even lower than that over the years.

I'm so sad the killed the protagonist at the end of s3, and what we see is twilight's purgatory.

they can get away with everything now.
>>
>>92960577
It started slow, then got to the point where it had pretty great potential, then it lost that potential and became shit. Right now we're back in that 'potential' stage with the Lars thing and all that.

It doesn't help that we wait for so long with the hiatuses. It just leads to greater disappointment when episodes finally do air and they're trash.

I just started rewatching Dogtanian this other day and it's fucking cozy as shit.

>dogtanian starting fights with everyone over anything
>dogtanian getting beat to shit with wooden poles planks and sticks all the time
>Juliette actually being kinda badass despite getting kidnapped constantly (seriously, that cabin shit where she's tied up and like in a bag or whatever and she drops onto a dude and desperation escapes the potato eater was great)
>meanwhile dogtanian starts a fight with ALL THREE MUSKATEERS on the SAME DAY one after the other
>a big plot point is that he loses a letter of introduction and he doesn't need it at all.
>that sword fight where his shitty sword gets stuck in the sheath and the witnesses think he's keeping it sheathed as a sign of respect and really he's just got a broke ass sword that he got for half a days labour shining other swords.

I love all that 80s shit japan did where they partnered with random countries. Ox Tales was another great one I used to watch as a kid, pic related. Dogtanian was spanish and Ox Tales was dutch I think.

I've heard s2 of dogtanian is a bit shit due to switching the team and voices but so far I'm halfway through s1 and loving it.

>Tfw dogtanian is voiced by 1987 Leonardo.

>At least Turtles Forever and the Lost Season redeemed it.

Why the fuck can't the 87 TMNT release an audio "commentary" track for that movie which overdubs those terrible "soundalikes" they got. I mean seriously, why do a crossover with 87 when you can't get the voices? What's the fucking point.

Also ninja tribunal never happened. And was still better than FF because for as retarded as it was, Usagi showed up. Didn't he?

Because the show in itself became too much of a meme during S3, having way too carelessly written meme plots about character quirks instead of good morals and cozy problemsolving.
Meanwhile, actual children who didn't care about memes had trouble following the plotlines. My friend's daughter dropped it after S4 for being "too weird".

"meme plots"

the fuck even is a meme plot? this sounds vague as shit to basically mean "anything I dont like."
>>
>>92950789
Season 2 of Attack of the KIller Tomatoes still had decent writing, but the animation took a diving and the opening was a mix of wtf and pure cringe.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch (from the 60s) became a bit worse after the introduction of the monsters.

>>92951914
>Maybe nthing changed and it just got old fast
nope

Twilicorn started a slippery slope, later they got rid of the library for that castle, then the stupid map (come on, is it THAT hard to come up with better explanations o have them travel around?!), then shoving a character in the middle of the ones you give a damn about. Not to mention the sudden burst in progress like >>92960324 said.

Don't get me wrong, you can see the writers still put effort into it, but the status quo changes since s3 don't help.

>>92960388
Pic related? Because the comics kinda did that basic story better a few years ago.

>>92964281
The first good episode with no monkey paw twists was the one from today, in my opinion.

I thought this was the opposite.
Aqua Unit Patrol Squad and Aqua Teens Forever were two of the best seasons

Season 3: Green af
Season 4: Black

Season 6 has kinda weak season finale, but I remember when people went crazy when Twi gets wings. Jumping the shark? Not really.

Yes, why don't you watch more than the first episodes?

>>92964256
While not necessarily mind blowing or anything, Season 3 does kind of save it a bit or at the very least makes that chart have a faily high peak compared to the rest of it.
