Talking Tom and Friends was definitely quite an improvement in graphics when it's compared to "Disney's Talking Friends" show.

In seasons 1 and 2 - the show was a blast. It was funny, creative and had a lot of charm to it. This is what I call the "Golden Stages" of Talking Tom. Sure the Golden stages may not have the best graphics compared to seasons 3 and 4, but it did have an interesting and unique plot and story with each episode making fans wanting more.

In the more recent seasons: 3 and 4, I like to call this the "Downfall of Talking Tom". They definitely had improved when it came to graphics but that was really it. Its script was just awful with each character sounding like it was reading a terribly-made script while in The Golden Stages, it felt normal and laid-back. Its plot was even worse than its script. They constantly keep adding new characters just for the sake of a single episode and aren't thinking of what uses that character could have in the future - just a lazy way to add in another episode in this series. The story is just so awful it doesn't even feel like watching Talking Tom and Friends in the Golden Stages. It felt like a more awful show. They turned a fascinating way of showing "The Gang's" life and how they live on a daily basis with whacky and fun adventures into a series with just a rapidly quality-decreasing story. Before in the more humbler and calmer times when they were starting out, the adventures The Gang had were a lot more believable, even if they were animals. Now they create all of these high-paced, action episodes where the shock factor is covering up the logic behind these episodes with them barely making any sense. Not to mention, their work and effort in publishing these videos is just lousy. They always lay back a few weeks to legitimate months just for a few episodes then repeating the same process. Before, the series would always keep up with posting their episodes in seasons 1 - 3. In season 4, we had waited an unprecedented amount of time for only a handful of episodes.

If I were rating seasons 1 and 2, I would give an 8-10. However, If I were rating the series as a whole with the added seasons 3 and 4 - I would only give 4.
