The section on Legend of Korra has this paragraph:
"Notably, since season 2 was the only season where Bryke had complete creative freedom (in season 1, they still had to introduce the new cast and handle the plot in 12 episodes, whereas seasons 3 and 4 where produced with the help of additional writing staff members of the original show)."
This is blatantly false information. Season 2 was *also* produced with the help of the original writers Tim Hedrick and Joshua Hamilton, by any reasonable metric Season 1 was the "only season where Bryke had complete creative freedom." I would recommend this section be changed to reflect that.

Just cut that part. Not necessary for the trope so no reason to add if contested.
I think the Thomas the Tank Engine example should be updated, considering the fact that a lot of the longtime fans of the show dislike the changes to the show's format in Season 22 onwards, namely kicking Edward and Henry off the Steam Team to make way for Nia and Rebecca for a more gender-balanced Steam Team, each episode having a fantasy sequence, and the series being a lot less grounded in railway realism to compete with faster-paced preschool shows like PAW Patrol.
You think that American Dad’s Roger being flanderized by season 9 is really an example because I think the flanderization was intended by the shows creators because I think that they wanted him to be a hate sink with these intentions becoming more and more blatant with each passing season

Well, here's the thing: he was never supposed to be liked, necessarily, but you were supposed to find his psychopathic behavior funny. This was the basis behind such classic episodes like Great Space Roaster and The One that Got Away. By the time of season 9, his psychopathic behavior was no longer funny, it was just insufferable. Love: AD Style is one of the most hated episodes of the show because of Roger's horrifying stalker behavior. And him pushing Jeff into space at the end of Naked to the Limit One More Time kick-started the infamous Jeff in space arc.
Can we add Season 6 of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic? I personally liked it, but the majority of episodes (with a couple exceptions) have gotten pretty lukewarm reception.

Should the 8th and final season of Regular Show be included? From what I've seen of it so far, moving the show into space robbed it of what made it so unique (much of the fun was watching this batshit crazy stuff happen in what otherwise seemed like an ordinary setting). To put it bluntly, season 8 feels like a generic sci-fi comedy.
Well, I suppose I should wait until the season's over.
- Book 4, though generally seen as an improvement over 2, is still regarded as one of the show's lower points by many. Korra's PSTD over her Near-Death Experience at the end of season 3 is played very realistically, turning her into a broken shell of a woman for much of the season. Kuvira, the main antagonist, was just an ordinary Earthbender (in contrast to Amon, Unalaq, and Zaheer who all had special powers or at least used their bending in new and creative ways) who still manages to defeat and humiliate the heroes at every turn, causing detractors to call her a Villain Sue. Her ultimate weapon, a Humongous Mecha known as the Colossus, was seen as too advanced -and corny- for the Steampunk-fantasy based setting. Toph finally returned, but many felt her appearance was wasted, and thought the Hand Wave excuse as to why she, Katara and Zuko couldn't help out more with the current crisis (they're too old) didn't make any sense (as characters older than them had previously been shown as active fighters in the Avatar series). And then there's the finale's reveal that Korra and Asami are bisexual and get together, which caused a lot of controversy as to both whether it was an appropriate subject for the show's target audience, and whether it was adequately set up or a Shocking Swerve.
________ I'm not totally sure about this. According to Imbd, some Book 4 episodes are among the highest ranked (the finale, Korra alone, Operation Beifong,...). And the Broken Base for this season wasn't worse than Book 3(people getting airbending, Kai, the conflict between the Beifong sisters or Zuko who contributes little arguably less than Toph in book 4)

Well, I will say that book 4 was slightly weaker than book 3, because of pacing issues early on and a dreaded clip episode, but on the whole, people still consider it up to the high standard set by season 3. Kuvira was praised, and the ending was also praised despite some controversy regarding the subject matter (personally, while I do think it's a little questionable to include bisexuality in a children's film, I thought it was built-up well and handled subtly enough that I didn't mind).
Should we add Daria due to its hatred for the introduction of Tom Sloane at the end of season 3?
Has Adventure Time suffered a Seasonal Rot yet? Do ya think Seasons 3, 4, or 5 is unliked by anyone?
Since we have an opinion on the quality of Bob's Burgers, I would like to share my current opinion on Bojack Horseman. Personally, I think Bojack also had a slight decline in season 5's first 1/3 because nothing meaningful really happened in "Planned Obsolescence" (except for Todd and Yolanda breaking up) and "Bojack the Feminist" is the worst episode in my opinion.
