Is it just me or is seasons 4-5 of spongebob extremely underrated. They are such good seasons and as good as 1-3. In my opinion, it got bad in season 6

Maybe a couple years ago, but I think now most people agree that they're at least okay. Yeah there's that "The show went to complete garbage after the movie" crowd, but literally every show with more than 1 season has people like that.

It was back then. People disliked/hated it, because it was "different" compared to Seasons 1,2,3.
Today, nobody really talks about it anymore and there has bee much less SpongeBob discussions around the Internet latelt.

Why is this in the Season 4 episode discussion page? Regardless, these seasons used to be very underrated. People used to compare 5 to 6 and 7. I think PGR kinda switched the popular belief. Season 4 has always been thought of as a mix bag, I don't think it's underrated. It's more overrated to be honest you.

No, Season 4 and 5 are BOTH overrated as hell to me! While they both used to get a lot of flack, many people in the past 5 years have compared them favorably to the first 3 seasons, and I honestly can't agree with that. Season 4 is OK, I guess, and I will admit the first half is actually pretty damn good (outside of Good Neighbors and Funny Pants), but the second half has very few good episodes and a lot of meh and just plain bad episodes. Season 5 in my eyes is still a bad season, though I will be fair and admit that it is still better than 6 and 7. 5 had a lot of nasty episodes (Fungus Among Us and To Love a Patty), a few squid abuse episodes (Boat Smarts, Good Ol' Whatshisname, and Breath of Fresh Squidward), and of course the infamous TV Movie (Atlantis Squarepantis). While I do applaud the season for attempting to be more experimental, a lot of it just isn't fun to watch at all IMHO, even if it wasn't quite as bad as what would come in the next 2 seasons.

While both seasons do indeed have their great episodes (such as Fear of a Krabby Patty, Skill Crane, Dunces and Dragons, Kristy Towers, Best Frenemies, Patrick Smartpants, Krabs a la Mode, Friend or Foe, Sing a Song of Patrick, and Roller Cowards, just to name some off the top of my head), I think people vastly overpraise them these days. I do understand how some people might've eased up to them over time due to how bad Seasons 6 and 7 were, as well as the hate getting so bad for some people that they simply got over all of it, but in general I think they get far too much praise nowadays regardless.

So no, I would not consider them underrated. Quite the opposite in fact. I honestly think seasons 9, 10, and maybe even possibly 11 are better than 4 and 5.
