* Initially ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyMakeYourMark'' was seen as inferior to the comedy-focused ''[[WebAnimation/MyLittlePonyTellYourTale Tell Your Tale]]'' spinoff due to its attempts at more substantive stories being seen as underwhelming and main story plodding. Chapter 4 was the point it started delivering on the EmotionalTorque that had been built up; the heroes directly confronting the villain, Misty's HeelFaceTurn, and the plot stared advancing in high gear, that it became as good as it got and seen by many as the higher quality work.

* ''WesternAnimation/BarneyBear'' benefited from taking cues from Avery and applying [[DenserAndWackier improvements in timing and pacing to the later shorts]], and giving Barney a [[ArtEvolution much-needed redesign]].

The final batch of shorts directed by Dick Lundy between 1952-1954 are near-unanimously considered the best ones.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'':
** The show started off as adaptations of comic stories with original stories written for the series. They were mostly slapstick-based with little to no hints of story. Johan and Peewit were introduced in the second season, but that's not saying much. Season 3 was when the show started to improve. Episodes became more story-based, new characters were added (such as Marina and Laconia), and Handy's inventions started to resemble more or less to modern technologies (such as telephones and wheelchairs).
** In Season 6, the animation quality started to improve as Hanna-Barbera farmed their work overseas to foreign studios (namely Wang/Cuckoo's Nest, Toei Animation and Fil-Cartoons).

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'': The series itself has gotten noticeably improved after Season 1, specifically the CharacterDevelopment, an increase in continuity, and multiple backstories. Season 3 is considered even better, due to its nature averting the status quo by having Gloria open her own restaurant and amping up the backstories and characterization, in addition to a more serialized plotline with the Greens returning to their old farm.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' started out as a show about a robot girl trying to be normal. The latter 2 seasons put this on the backburner and focused more on important stuff. Plots became more dynamic and less predictable, characters get some much needed development, relationships start forming more, plot arcs become more common, and the Cluster MythArc led to an epic season 2 finale.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' started off as good, but Season 2 saw it become ''great'' by turning [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ray and Kreiger]] into main characters, having more interesting and unpredictable plots, giving characters emotional depth without sacrificing the humor, giving the series a proper villain in the form of Barry, and generally having funnier, sharper jokes.
