I completely agree, and I am a big defender of the new episodes. This episode would've been much better in Season 11. Actually, Season 11 did have a sequel episode (Doodle Dimension) to another beloved classic episode (Frankendoodle), and it was much better than Squidiot Box. And yeah, SpongeBob's voice has really gotten weaker. Tom Kenny can't do the Season 9 voice anymore. I wish they would have him do a lower voice, maybe closer to Season 1. As for the writing, I've been noticing more problems with the writing since the tail end of Season 13. Unlike Seasons 6-8, there's nothing super frustrating going on with the characters or the storylines. The problem now is that they just feel really dull and lacking. This occasionally could be a problem with Seasons 10-12 (like Library Cards), but it didn't happen nearly as often as it seems to now. But there is still much good to be found (Bassward). I haven't lost hope yet.
