Hi there, while I am not an active member on this wiki. I feel like your blog mostly summarizes my thoughts on the show as a whole. I understand that it's mostly a humor-centered show and It isn't going to be serious all the time. But if you're going to make a serious episode and start an arc with it, you might as well finish it and actually do something with the arc that you created instead of ignoring it.

I feel like Penny and Carrie's arcs have problems in that the show showed that they wanted to devote time into making episodes about them, but then ignores it later on. (Penny has almost zero focus in seasons 5 and 6, Carrie has almost no episodes focusing on her relationship with Darwin after "The Matchmaker")

I believe season 5 is like season 6 of SpongeBob for this show, the show drops in quality and there's a lack of actual good episodes. While the humor is still there and all, there's really a lack of actual serious episode and episodes that actually matter to an arc. Like I said, why bother creating an arc if you're not going to finish it up and actually devote time into making such episodes for it? I know continuity is non-existent most of the times, but if you're going to show the audience that you can do continuity, why make an episode about characters like Rob when you could have just retired the character in a good way? (Talking about you "The Ex")

I can excuse continuity not existing for other shows such as SpongeBob as there aren't many episodes that exist with continuity. But for shows like Gumball, I feel like they can't decide whether continuity should exist or not. Either focus on the arc you started and finish it, or just don't do it at all. That's just my thoughts. Your blog really describes the problems I have with the show, so I must commend you on that.
