Hah, couldn't agree more. I wouldn't say this season was overall bad, because it wasn't. Buut...it indeed felt sort of...lacking. I can understand that, though, we're talking about a show made by talented, yet very irreversibly imperfect people who sometimes debate between appealing to a larger audience (incomes are needed) that's hungry for less witty comedy and plots and doing what they best do: pull off a truly original cartoon that almost always flawlessly stands over everything else, even if it's not really appealing for everyone. Well, basically, what you exposed under the last title. However, I also agree it did quite some stuff very good, very...Gumball's style. Overall, it's right in the middle of a good and a bad grade. Just...not as good as other seasons, but definitely not awful. Few episodes felt truly amazing, but I could digest the remaining ones that were simply regular. You already mentioned everything it did wrong and what it suceeded at, so I'll just nod eagerly, hah. Great analysis, and...well, same as you and everyone else: I'm pretty excited to know what season six has in store for us.

A/N: Your blog is great, by the way. I secretly read a bunch of entries a while agobut never mentioned it, hah.
