User blog comment:Jamesgrout/Top 5 Worst and Best Amazing World of Gumball Season 3 Episodes/@comment-30307603-20170308221639

I find it odd that you say that Season 3 became more bitter when I honestly believe that Season 2 was far more bitter and that Season 3 toned it down, finding a nice balance between the light-heartedness and the darkness. With episodes such as "The Hero" and "The Dream", I have a hard time understanding how anyone could find Season 3 meaner than Season 2. Whether or not you like the more "mean-spirited" nature is your call.

Honestly, I like all of the episodes you listed here, even the bad ones. I'm surprised you didn't mention "The Society", which is honestly the worst episode of the season.

Keep in mind, I am biased towards Seasons 3-5 as that's when I thought the show was in its prime, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt.
