Post the different art styles of each season

I feel like talking about this a little. Most of you might think each season has the exact same unique art and animation styles for each episode. But, if you have really good eyes, you'll notice that some episodes look different from others. For example, in a season 1 episode, you might think every episode is simply just cel-animated, but you might see an episode where a character is a different color, looks taller/shorter, or has a certain default expression. In this topic, some of you, including me, are just posting pictures of episodes in each season with a unique art style.

By the way, this is a revival of this topic to make things easier: http://www.sbmania.net/forums/topic/39667-why-does-each-season-have-about-5-art-styles/

Season 1 (I'm gonna describe the different art styles to see a difference):
Help Wanted: Obviously the only episode to look like this because it was the pilot. The colors were kinda cruder as the characters look lighter. The picture quality looks a little off. Animation was still great.
2nd: Most of those are Ennio/Erik boarded episodes, but I can't describe it since there's not enough episodes with this artstyle.
3rd: I can easily describe this: colors are somewhat brighter than the rest of the season.
4th: Colors are in between.
5th: Since they're the last episodes to be produced for season 1, it kinda had that unique look.
The rest: Looks like your typical season 1 episode (art style wise).

I never really liked this image, mainly because it's pretty much saying SpongeBob only had 3 changes in design, which is definitely NOT TRUE.

1st: With the exception of SSC (which was Luke B/Nate Cash), all of those are from Aaron Springer's infamous days of drawing SpongeBob weirdly, which the picture pretty much prove it. Yeah, this is definitely my least favorite art style due to how stupid he looks.

2nd: I personally preferred this the most in season 6 as it had that season 4/5 vibe to it at times (especially Gone and A Life in A Day).

3rd: Looks too much like season 7/8. It might be an early preview of how on-model the characters are gonna be. Although Giant Squidward is the earliest example of this, it doesn't look too much like those other episodes.

4th: No comment as it is only been used a few episodes.

5th: Very bland looking imo. You can tell that the animation starts to downgrade somewhat in those episode. (I'm probably judging too much from the House Fancy's look, at least SpongeBob's cheeks aren't huge unlike the other Springer episodes this season)

6th: Slide Whistle looks like your typical season 6 episode except Squidward was a tad bit more expressive than he was in the rest of the season (IDK why but he started looking too on-model within this season). While I don't liked the Splinter at all, the art style pretty much saved it. It's not too overly gross on the facial expressions (except for the splinter being shown and Patrick licking SB's foot). I'll give point for the off-model faces here. For some reason, SpongeBob looks like his season 4 model in the Krabby Kronicle which is why I liked it a little more than anyone (it feels too out of place for a season 6 episode though).

Season 7
