Once again, this is formatted like my Season 2 & Season 4 tier lists:
Best, Good, Medicore, Bad, Worst & Good But Overrated.
I honestly think this season is a step down from Season 2. I know that most people think the good stuff in this season is better than the good stuff in other seasons, but in the case of Season 2, I was able to name 4 episodes that tied for my favorite and 5 more that were super close seconds. Here, aside from SpongeBob Meets The Strangler
(which is my favorite episode of the entire series) and one or two others, I think any of the 9+ episodes in Season 2 that I called my "favorite" or "close second favorite" are better than the good episodes on here.
Also, I think this is worth explaining.
"Ugh" and "The Sponge Who Could Fly" are Mediocre because of their outstanding Patchy segments. If you don't want to count Patchy as a part of the episode, both of those would be in the bad tier, and The Sponge Who Could Fly would be the "Worst" episode.
In the case of "Wet Painters", I only put it under the "Overrated" category because I think there are better episodes in the season. I still think that's a pretty good episode, just not one of the best in Season 3.
And for the record, New Student Starfish, despite being the "worst" is not that bad. It would've been a high-mediocre/low-end good episode if Patrick got punished and not SpongeBob, considering it was Patrick's fault all the bad things happened to SpongeBob in the first place. Also the scene of them saving Roger is alright. Just not enough to save the episode.
Anyway this is still a good season. However, I think there are better seasons out there, and this season is not quite as good as people say it is in my opinion.
