I used to watch Spongebob and I'm watching Netflix right now, but I feel like this is stupid and not at the "kid level" anymore, like on TV.
Is there somehow taken "hops" or are the consequences also on television?
Depends on it, as you have developed over the years, also Spongebob has not developed, unfortunately, not for the good, annoying new dubbing voices, bad dahingeklatschte actions, etc. I would recommend you to continue with your episodes of the past because they are still the best. So the first 4 seasons, some episodes of seasons 5-6 & that's it.
