There have been past Nicktoons that have been better than TLH, and while the old Spongebob is one of them, it needs to end. It's been nearly 20 years now. It's gotten played out like the Simpsons. People overpraise it because it's technically a 90s cartoon, not because they've been putting on great material year after year.

There's a reason why TLH has beaten the Sponge numerous times in the ratings and has gotten the praise it gets, even if I don't 100% agree with it. In early 2016 the network that everyone adored was on life support.
