Okay so I'm sure a lot of you realized, but PAW Patrol changed, a lot. With new subseries and characters coming each and every season, I think it's safe to say that PAW Patrol has changed, and not for the better, either.

Now what am I talking about when I say "not for the better"? Well, I mean the unfair pup selections, a lot of us have realized this, but in the more recent episodes, the first responders tend to be "Chase + another pup", "Skye + another pup", "Skye AND Chase", and if we get lucky, Chase or Skye aren't chosen at all.

Now, keep in mind, the original seasons had more fair pup selections, heck even Zuma had more rescues! Nowadays, it seems the writers are only wanting to limit the episodes to "Chase per one rescue" or "Skye per one rescue", and the episodes have gotten predictable too. The episodes in season 1-4 were elegantly crafted, maybe even wholesome, nowadays it's "Superpowers! Motorcycles! Dragons and Dinosaurs!" and the episodes nowadays follow a very repetitive formula, "Mayor Humdinger steals/does bad things, the pups (usually Chase and Skye) have to stop him, hooray problem solved." and I swear that's not at all how it used to be.

The episodes from seasons 1-4 didn't really involve Mayor Humdinger much, and if they did he would do what he would use to do, challenge Adventure Bay to a competition to see whose the better town. Nowadays he's the "villain" of the show who has to steal stuff all the time. I miss the old episodes, like where the missions felt natural, like Pups Take the Cake, Pups Save a Parade, Pups Save the Bay, Pups Save a Camping Trip, to name a few. I also miss how in the earlier seasons, they would show the pups who weren't picked for the mission interacting and playing with eachother or even watching the rescue unfold on the tv!

Oh, how I miss the old PAW Patrol, I wish they would go back to their old roots, oh well, only time will tell.

Back!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

@Six is at to 1000 here again, don’t ask me why I’ve switched, I think I’ll move to this wiki.

Before the Skye and Rory Flip It short on Nick Jr.’s website played, I saw this. This honestly surprised me.

Does anyone have the Spanish Dub of Pups vs. Ouchy Paws/Pups Save a Glow-in-the-Dark Party recorded?

I made this and I’m making it my pfp

It looks like the first short has appeared on my TV guide. I decided to look at it closer and the length said 30 minutes. (Maybe they may pair all 4 episodes up, or there is something extra at 12:05?). Also, the summary was the same as before expect it had Wild's old name. (The name of the episode is the same one as on TheFutonCritic)

He to where you that his case be it has lost teeth what no?

The reason is those short episodes count as real short episodes and not count as real episodes except for Canada because it had Netflix on the country.

Sorry to break it to you!

The admins is right about those short episodes being real short episodes.

Season 8 only had 24 episodes and not 26 episodes because season 8 is the short season.

For example, my favourite episode throughout the whole series was season 4, episode 4, (mission paw, quest for the crown).

That episode just takes me back to the good old days of the Paw patrol, where most people would look forward to a new sub series special, loved the introduction of Sweetie, who quickly became my favourite villain throughout the rest of the series, found it really interesting of how she tried to frame Chase for stealing the crown as well as tricking the princess and her royal servant into believing it's true, plus i also loved the new gear and vechials that Ryder and the pups used in the sub series, giving that spy feel to it, plus it was just a fascinating episode to watch, plus the trailer they released for it, was just eye catching.

So, overall rating, for me in my opinion, gotta be one of the best paw patrol episodes i have ever watched, a solid 10/10.

What's your favourite episode?

let me know down in the comment section below.
