* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'': Fans tend to give this to the show starting in season 6. The writing and plots became more bizarre, almost every episode was filled to the brim with fourth wall jokes (especially for a franchise well-known for its [[NoFourthWall insanely meta humor]]), and any recurring character that wasn't Floyd or Nermal was getting retired. It doesn't help that the new intros for this and season 7 (especially the rap intro) weren't well received and the show was experiencing budget cuts. While these seasons got decent reviews, it was clear the show was losing its audience - coincidentally around the time that Saturday morning cartoons were going extinct.

Added DiffLines:
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'': Fans hold the second half of Season 1 in less regard, particularly due to Daffy's {{Flanderization}}, taking his usual JerkWithAHeartOfGold behavior and amplifying it to outright sociopathy. The main culprits of this are "French Fries" (for Daffy ending his friendship with Porky over him eating what he thought were ''his'' French fries, when they were really for the table, and Porky's JerkassBall) and "The Float" (where Daffy is at his most unlikable by guilt tripping Bugs into getting him a yacht to replace his parade float, tricking Porky into giving him all of his money to afford said yacht, and eventually getting himself and his friends stranded out at sea). Thankfully, the show would [[GrowingTheBeard hit its stride]] after this.

*** While Season 8 is considered to be a slight improvement over Seasons 6 and 7 with a closer to mixed reception among fans, it is still yet another offender, with the flanderization and gross-out humor continuing, as well as such reviled episodes as "Smooth Jazz at Bikini Bottom", "[[GreyAndGrayMorality Demolition Doofus]]", "[[SuicideAsComedy Are You Happy Now?]]", "[[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty Pet Sitter Pat]]", and "[[NightmareFace Face Freeze!]]".

** In turn, most people agree that Season 9 is a major improvement on Seasons 6-8, with most of the episodes being praised, especially after the release of the second movie when creator Stephen Hillenburg returned along with many of the original writers. The exceptions being "[=SpongeBob=] You're Fired" (which was perceived as a massive TakeThat at unemployment along with Mr. Krabs' petty excuse for firing [=SpongeBob=]), "Squid Baby" (for being 11 minutes of baby gross-out), and "Little Yellow Book" (where Squidward's {{Jerkass}}ery hits its high point and he gets away with reading [=SpongeBob=]'s [[spoiler:personal]] diary), which are all in the first half of the season. Fans often consider the episodes produced before the second movie to be "Season 9A" and the episodes produced afterwards to be "Season 9B".

* Of the three of Creator/{{DiC|Entertainment}}'s ''[[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic Super Mario Bros.]]'' cartoons, ''WesternAnimation/{{Super Mario World|1991}}'', the final one, is considered to be the worst by many. Most of this is due to the budget cuts NBC made which resulted in the animation quality (which wasn't even all that great in the first place) completely going down the toilet, writing out Toad completely and [[ReplacementScrappy replacing him]] with the less memorable Oogtar, and the plots becoming much weaker and running on nonsensical logic compared to those of the first two shows. That said, the show does still have a following [[SoBadItsGood for just how ridiculous it gets]] and spawned a mountain of internet memes (in particular the entirety of "[[Recap/SuperMarioWorldEpisode13MamaLuigi Mama Luigi]]").

* The third and final season of ''WesternAnimation/SuperWhy'' is usually regarded as the worst. Problems that fans cite with this season include the downgraded and unintentionally creepy animation (as most of the shading was lost and the animation became more stiff and lifeless despite being produced in 2015), and the fact that most of the stories the Super Readers entered were original and no longer based on fairy tales, which defeats the whole point of the show.

** Season 5 is widely considered (apart from a handful of positively received episodes, such as "Hurl Interrupted" and "Camped!") ) to be the weakest season thus far. In spite of playing NothingIsTheSameAnymore by having the characters age up by a year (after numerous complaints from viewers over the cast remaining the same age between several annual special episodes like the Halloween or April Fools ones), many fans have claimed the show officially went downhill as soon as the season 5 premiere special "Schooled!" aired, with the main criticisms being that the flanderizations kicked in even harder and there were many more rehashed plots. A few also complained about some plots being less grounded in reality than past seasons via the addition of fantastical elements that they perceive as breaking the show's slice-of-life flow.
** Season 6 was initially met with a divisive reception by the fanbase, until the second half of season 6 onwards, where fans have noted that said flanderization has been dialed back, and while the show hasn't quite [[WinBackTheCrowd won back the crowd]], they feel that it's at least a step in the right direction.
