I agree. Season 1 was only mediocre at best. Though there were few good episodes. Such as The Meddler, The Helmet and The Fight. But yeah, the show was way too focused on Gumball only while the others were just...there. Season 2 kinda rebooted the whole thing, even the characters (Gumball is no longer hyperactive, Darwin is more independent instead of Gumball's shadow, Nicole and Richard are more developed, Carrie is more of a rock enthusiast than an emo, Bobert has a personality now and countless others are given that as well etc.).
