Talk:Season 19/@comment-252417-20160630142353

I finally did it. I not only resumed watching, but I finished both the last two seasons. When 9 Story took over, I not only thought the writing deteriorated, but adding Ladonna and her family made things worse. While I still may not completely like them, I can somewhat stand them (and that's depending on what's happening in the episode). Also, I found that Bailey had been greatly reduced in the beginning, and had to work his way back up.

Season 19 was a vast improvement, and probably the best out of the last four. "Arthur's Toy Trouble"/"Spar the Course" had good storylines that helped me see past the animation to the point that after, I suddenly remembered that it was animated by 9 Story. "Maria Speaks" was a good episode. But I did go from finding the stutter believable to thinking it was just a cartoon that couldn't really display it properly. Then there's "The Last Day", a nice conclusion the the kids' and Ratburn's time in 3rd grade. I also thought D.W. had a good side story.

I'm glad they stopped the double stories for characters (like with Brain and Sue Ellen), as I don't think I could've put up with that for an entire season.

Not much of a review, but that's what I have to say. I did think about giving up by the end of season 19. Maybe there's another season left in me, after all.
