Eh, I really think your discrediting how vanilla Gumball's personality is. Sure, he's not the most complex character, but I do legitimately think there is some consistency and depth to his character. From Season 3 onwards, we see that Gumball is a pretty actually compassionate guy who hides his insecurities and falling under a wall of sarcasm and ego. Certain aspects of this personality may be favored more than other traits at, but this personality is continuous throughout the series.

Regardless, I actually like all of Ms. Simian's major roles. I found "The Apology" to be one of the best episodes of Season 2; the dynamic between her and Principal Brown was quite nice to see. I also found "The Ape" to be some Season 1's better days.
