I hated SpongeBob from Day 1: such a mind-numbing show (something which has actually been proven by science). But, I mean, there's plenty of shows out there that have lasted longer for five seasons that have managed to stay fresh - it would seem like aging the characters up and such is a decent measure to take to keep things interesting and from growing stale.

Besides, this should be considered lucky: way back when, a cable cartoon series was LUCKY if it lasted beyond a typical four-season with 52 episodes contract (even though shows like LH have seasons that are twice as long now).
