I agree that the first three seasons and the movie of SpongeBob are the best and yes, it lost its quality when Stephen Hillenburg left. However, most episodes of the fourth and fifth seasons still have some laughs because some of the original writers still did some episodes but most of them left during those two seasons. By the time season 6 started it got very unfunny and it hasn't changed for season 7 and 8 neither.
