I see Spongebob as a perfect representation of a baseball player. In its prime, it was the best around. No other show could match its intelligent wit or clever writing style. But then, its prime years passed, and now it struggles to prove that it still has what it takes to be an all-around good show. I mean, it's not terrible. Nickelodeon has certainly produced far worse hit-and-miss shows. But Spongebob is no longer the witty, clever, funny show it was in its prime. It still has its moments, but for the most part, the new episodes are pretty forgettable.

Meanwhile, Phineas & Ferb is just entering its prime now. The episodes continue to maintain a high level of production without taking cheap shots or shortcuts, and Across The Second Dimension back in August of '11 was the highlight of the show's run. They could've easily turned Candace into a replica of Squidward, as a person who hates everything fun and stops at nothing to hurt or spoil Phineas & Ferb's fun. Instead, they keep her as a concerned, somewhat overprotective sister who simply doesn't want her little brothers to hurt themselves. And what else can be said about the hillarious Dr. D - Perry subplots.

People can say what they want about the show being rigged. But the point is, PnF could go years and years without ever winning a blimp, and it would still be an awesome show. A blimp does not speak for a show's popularity, and anybody that tells you otherwise is deluding themselves.
