For now, let's wait and see. That's different. KND and Teen Titans had stable continuities. While Gumball is an episodic animated sitcom emphasizing mainly on comedy. And I'd hate to see Gumball suffer the same fate as The Simpsons, Family Guy and SpongeBob. Gumball ending with season 6 would probably be the best thing that could happen to the show since it would allow it to end with dignity and be remembered as the creative, imaginative, funny show that it is. And besides, the show is nothing without Ben, he's the visionary behind it. I mean, look what happened to Asterix after René Goscinny died. Or what happened to Family Guy when the best writers left the show for American Dad. Comedy shows eventually dry up if they continue for too long. So as much as I don't like it, Gumball needs to end permanently with season 6.
