In Season 1, the main flaw was that almost everyone including Gumbal himself is absolutely one note tropes. Gumball is an absolute knucklehead who causes troublejust becauseor whatever is in his deluded mind, Darwin is also one but with a bit of morality yet still blindly follows Gumball's antics, Anais is the smart sibling, Richard is just deadbeat and Nicole is just stress. Eventually, future seasons gave them more traits as Gumball can be smart, Darwin can have a backbone to callout Gumball, Anais can be self serving, Richard steps up instead of just laying around. And finally, Nicole is not just her stress and rages but one person with lost dreams and opportunities.

Gumball really never got bad because most shows get loonier or more abnormal. (Take Craig of the Creek for example, it went from realistic but imaginative to just plain nonsense). Gumball somehow only minorly dropped on episode ideas and it stayed its uniqueness. Every episode has some sort of character to experiment with, which makes every episode epic. If they ever run out of characters, they can literally just make a new world and experiment those characters with the Watersons. Dynamics are endless, so it never gets stale.

[@gerogie51]

Although Gumball never got bad, I'm still very worried for Season 7 of Gumball. One thing i noticed in Season 6 was that the quality of the show dropped, but like, it was only a very minor drop, but it was still noticeable if you compared the episodes to Seasons 4 and 5. I've heard that Ben doesn't want to work on the show anymore, mainly because on his Twitter, he said that he's trying to do other things now, and thats what makes me more worried, too. Mic Graves IS gonna return for S7 most likely, but that doesnt mean the show is saved. Just because OG writers will come back doesn't mean it's gonna be good, a huge example of this is Spongebob. Kaz, one of the writers from Season 3, came back for Season 9 and still writes for the show right now. He wrote famous episodes like "Nasty Patty", "Wet Painters", "Chocolate with Nuts", and alot more. However, when he came back, it was pretty obvious that he lost his shine, because he wrote episodes like "Pat the Dog/Horse", "Frendiversary", and most infamously, "Ink Lemonade".

[@the_ejumper_0804]

Same

[@sunsetvibe1063]

I think the reason the show never dipped in quality was that it knew what it had to start with & just kept adding to what they started out with. By the end of the series. I can count on 1 hand the amount of background characters that don’t get at least one episode dedicated to them. Compared to other animated shows that tend to forget previous characters & replace them with new ones that don’t feel as special. Usually if the show introduced a new character, they would only have 1 episode dedicated to them. Then they would either leave that same episode, or just be another background character. They always knew who the core cast was & never strayed away from them. The core cast never got stale either. ‘Cause the show wasn’t afraid to evolve them a bit in order for new comedic possibilities. They weren’t fall on story arcs. But they were subtle developments that helped add to their characters instead of making them those traits. E.g. both Gumball & Darwin got girlfriends by the show ended. But they weren’t defined by having a girlfriend. Again, unlike other animated shows. Or even just other shows in general.

[@demomainintf2963]

Rob Void arc is a good example of Gumball not being an episodic show

[@sunsetvibe1063]

@@demomainintf2963 That’s another good example of the show adding to what it already had. Rob technically appeared in seasons 1&2, it wasn’t until season 3 that they started to do stuff with him instead of creating a new character from scratch.

[@Sacapills]

Yes and the void lore that is meant for all the removed drafts and forgotten background characters in season 1 that is used to bring them back and add lore to them was genius. The way they put together and added depths to all the common traits of a cartoon and used them for the plot made the show so interesting the episode The Finale is a good example.

[@gummypuss69]

On the contrary I think one of the show's few major flaws is that Penny basically only exists to be Gumball's love interest and doesn't have enough of an arc or backstory of her own. The closest they come to giving Penny her own story is in The Romantic, and even then (as the title suggests) she's only important because of her relationship with Gumball.

love this show, been watching it since early 2010's

[@Coolestdogever360]

I actually thought of something about the episode The Job. Where there's a scene where Nicole gets scared of her husbands picture with her and her kids. Reason as to why is that photo of Richard with Nicole and the kids. Is that because of camera. It had that one effect that older phones in general haven't had in a long time. Where it made your eyes go red. I actually talked this with my Dad a few years ago. He said why not try it. Of course because I didn't want to become blind that never happened. But, ad of recent if thought about that scene and that talk with my Dad. About how older phones used to do that when you finally took the picture. Phones thses days don't do that. And because of this episode coming in a time where phones used to do that when finally taking the picture. I've become or I'm a little nostalgic for that one thing. And thanks to this episode and me thinking about it. I give it a watch for that and rest of it's quality's. Especially give a watch with that other episode of gumball. One where the family loses there money and have to do a ad to save there world. Before it becomes how the show is made. That scene of just that is why I think you should watch that episode. It's really funny. Like Larry's line of "Then hurry up before it's too late". And for the other quality's like the scene where the hole town becomes less detailed. Really good. Really funny. Also same for The job.

It's not that shows always go bad after a long time It's just that they change. In a way they die and get reborn into some kind of Frankenstein of itself. American Dad has gone on for years and it didn't go bad it just changed, Adventure time has 10 seasons and now a spinoff series but it's still good if not better. It went from your average kid's show to something deeper, it got depressed and existential for a little while and then started getting more realistic/relatable. As relatable as it could get for a show with magic and vampires. All in all, I think it depends on the show, some times it really should have just ended with a few seasons but other times a show can grow into something entirely different. Sometimes it's bad and sometimes it's good.

You may observe that games of that sort take more from Batim than Fnaf. That's Fajr. I think my main point is that while games like Poppys playtime would exist, the idea of making them into mainstream sold goods is fundamentally started by Fnaf. I think my previous statement was unfair, it didn't ruin the whole genre, but it ruined the indie mascot horror branch of it. Which is more mainstream. Fnaf makes me angry because it goes against everything it means to be a Horror game. It became a movie? Movies and games are not a simular sensory experience. It waters down the main product more than it was already a distillation of mascot horror. The only thing it adds is lore implications, and I feel like the lore in question is inane and contrived. It seems like it doesn't have a clear vision of anything and just adds and adds without a clear point of reference. Let's simplify this, what exactly do we have here? A game that's outer shell of horror is based on cheap jumpscares, a lore that is hilariously dark and contrived for such a simple game, lore itself that is just adding without revealing stuff already there. And an end product that let to the consumerist nightmare that is modern mascot horror

Some things get worse as they get older and some get better Gumball always stayed the best

[@KapustaNicholai]

but this cartoon never been better, even at the begining

[@marcinmcula99]

1:33 man how did you forget about afventure time? The perfect example of a show that grew up with the audience and stayed pretty consistently good

[@tobennaokoli4450]

I would say Regular Show also had an amazing transformation. It went from your everyday episodic plot to slowly transforming into a seasonal plot with actually arcs every season. There were hints of it before (Exit 4B) but I would say it wasn’t until the dome came in that Regular Show fully released its potential.

[@Surgemaster2012]

Actually I found Billy and Mandy's final season to be a minor case of Seasonal Rot, its easily the weakest of all the Seasons. (Dexter's Laboratory also had it worse than all the CN shows tbh) Though it didn't get as bad as the shows mentioned. Though I think its more common for final seasons of some shows to be their worst. I think Ed Edd n Eddy had the same problem, in that I feel its last season was a case of Seasonal rot. But yeah, I agree Gumball is one of those examples that got better with each passing season. Where Season 1 is the worst, it just grows from there.

[@rickyronny4019]

Idk. If the drop in quality is very minor, you rlly can’t say Billy and Mandy suffered from seasonal rot

[@scottlentfert1827]

Agreed with you're statement, though i whould whould say yes to the Dexter's Lab, Ed Edd n Eddy seasonal rot. Even the original powerpuff girl's last 2 seasons were'nt that good@@rickyronny4019

TAWOG literally has a total of one episode out of 240 that I hate (The Nuisance if you're wondering). I've always been blown away by shows that can maintain a consistent output, especially when they exceed about 100+ episodes, and I think Gumball's one of the only shows I can assign that to.

[@suspiciousstar7547]

I remember when i watched the trailer for the series when i was 8 years old. I found it weird and unique so i decided to watch it. And i kept watching it until season 5 i think. But recently i watched some clips from the show to catch up. I really loved the show. I can say it was actually my favourite among modern CN series. (With the second being Regular Show)

Ive always been fascinated by how gumball has been on CN for so much years, its nice to see someone noticing too

[@OrthodoxByzantineBall]

Hot take: Gumball dipped in quality in season 6. Personally I thought in comparison to previous seasons, it just wasn't hitting the same. My personal preference, but it felt like every episode had a song and it just got really boring and repetitive. Any time a new episode came out, I'd watch it and almost always at around the 5 minute mark they'd sing a song which to me just got really irritating. Plus, the VAs just didn't hit like the previous did. Call me crazy, but when it was Logan Grove (S1-S3) and Jacob Hopkins (S3-S5) playing gumball at their respective periods, their voices sort of blended in and there felt like more continuity. Cantu has a very noticeable voice and there was a clear difference as season 6 went on. Started off ok in season 5, but as season 6 progressed, it felt less like Gumball and more like someone trying to play Gumball and not really immersed in the role. Meanwhile, Darwin's VA became WAY more squeaky, which is ironic given the piglet on helium joke from S2, but the VA just sounded really irritating to listen to in comparison to the others. Also, Darwin was way dumber in season 6 and that was also almost a pain to watch. They pretty much screwed up his character to just become comic relief. One thing that sticks with me is how he acted in The Vision compared to in The Neighbour, in that he makes the "throat slit" sign to reference dying, yet in the Neighbour, he assumes it is "pretending to be a duck" . He'd really dropped in intelligence and it was for no real reason at all. Ironically, the episode I enjoyed the most in Season 6 was The News, which pretty much gave Gumball and Darwin the least screentime aside from The Singing. I guess at that point, I'd just grown to dislike them. Again, call me crazy. Just my opinion. Don't kill me, please. TLDR: IMO Gumball dropped in quality in S6 due to a variety of factors (VAs, irritating songs, Darwin becoming dumber and more irritating)

[@philipb7400]

I think at the end of the series, the jokes got way worse too. I think the show started to think that it was smarter than it actually was.

[@OrthodoxByzantineBall]

@@philipb7400 Agreed. We went from clever and actual funny jokes in S1-5 to Gumball and Banana Joe doing the floss in S6. Tragic.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! And what I'm gonna say is just... THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL IS AWSOME SHOW AND I LOVE IT SO-SO MUCH!!! It is one of the shows that gave me my childhood (I've know it since 9 years old); I've always been connected with it; and about 1 year ago I remembered it (I am in the high school now) and I....I just love it SOOOO much ❤ I am true-hearted and big fan of this show, and I am very happy that people know about tawog and there are big fans of it either 💗

[@scottlentfert1827]

Agreed! I used to be very obsessed towards everything Gumball, i fellowed every new episode when they came to danish tv, checked the wiki to see pictures for upcoming episodes, and played the flash games. My friends looooove Gumball too, and i am happy that it always stayed great throughout it's runtime😄 Also if you are into dark humor and sploofs like gumball you should check out the other cartoon network show that never went downhill Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy (plus the grim and evil episodes) That was what i watched before gumball came out and tbh i love B&M even more, the cast includes a stupid character (With an IQ of -5 btw lol) hanging out with an smart character who "hates" him combined with The Grim Reaper as their caretaker and you have an awesome cartoon just like The Wattersons😀

I learned how Gumball can still be refreshing and so does other cartoons. I was only a preteen when I first watched it and during its airing, I honestly wish I had grown up with the show a lot more. Long-running cartoons could learn from this show and so does other shows like Ed Edd n Eddy (the show I grew up watching as a kid).

Or improves

[@cherrytonshawty9120]

Gumball was very different from a lot of its counterparts, because of how it could adapt to the ever changing Internet Age. It also went on long enough to be considered an all time modern classic, but not too long where it would grow stale and aged. A seventh season could have easily happened, but the six we got of the OG show are more than enough to prove its staying power long-term. Most shows these days seem to barely get 1 season out, nevermind two or more. Very few see beyond a second or third season, and remain grounded in their identities as a visual presentation.

As a fan of TAWOG since the beginning, the only complaint I have towards the later seasons is Gumball becoming more of a jerk and having some of the family members missing within episodes. However, this never made the show bad, as it still had its funny moments and never really went too far.

[@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome]

The problem is that "seasonal rot" is really just a preconceived notion. Shows like this (imo) dip up and down in quality no matter where it is in Season.

[@Scoitol]

I think that having a jerk as the main character makes the show much more funny, I linke when characters have flaws, it's way more realistic

@@Scoitol I do too, but you really need to have more character development to make them likable.

[@E3257.StudiosEverythingAwesome]

@@rickyronny4019 I meant Darwin. Gumball was okay but the dynamic between him and Darwin (with Darwin CONSTANTLY griping on him for every little thing) made him appear less heroic in my opinion and I didn't like that. Sometimes they exaggerated and had Gumball be a jerk for legit no reason, like in that episode where him and Darwin make fun of Richard.
