I had been watching Naruto on Cartoonnetwork with my son since it first came on air. I liked the show because it had a lot of action, interesting soundtrack, and a relatively deep plot. I started watching Naruto on Youtube soon after season 2 ended because I was anxious to see the second part of the Chunin exams. These were the English dubbed versions, and I realized that CN was watering the episides down for the younger american audience. I was amazed at how deep and twisted the characters lives were in the dubbed versions and I started watching 3 and 4 episodes a night. From episode 53 to episode 134 it seemed like all of the characters were developing in strength and wisdom. The action was really intense, and successive episodes seemed to go through waves of incredible intensity as Naruto and Sasuke final face off in a head to head battle. And then something changed. The episodes started to get weaker and less interesting. Now I'm at episode 177 and the show is really boring.

My question is. What happened? Did they lose a key writer because the show took a major shift in depth. Do the episodes get any better from 178 onward? If it does I'd like to skip over the really lame episodes and get back to the good stuff. When does it get better?

actually there's been almost 2 yrs long of fillers for Naruto from episode 135 to 220.
I heard that its because the show was a hit back then and the producers wanna make more profits from on going viewers, they drag the show with fillers.
Since you're bored with these filllers, i recommend you to read the manga version (comic version), you can download these image files packed in winzip folder from many sites via google search. No drags, no fillers, all focused on the plot.
Or
Watch the new season called Naruto Shippudden. That's the end of all fillers and the beginning of Naruto again.
I stopped watching since episode 155+. And now I'm glad they have the all new Naruto Shippudden, i'm gonna pick up where i left off.
Watching animes from YouTube is much more convenient. Used to download my animes episode by episode and it almost fill up my second hard disk.

episode 177 is part of the fillers, not the actual story, fillers were made so tat the second chronicle of the naruto manga could b continued, coz if dey just kept on going den the anime would have caught up to the manga, as manga as slower to produce then anime!
The parts u r watching r fillesr, made up episodes, now they started airing the second chronicle of the naruto story, the subbed version can be seen at youtube, dubbed 1s havent been released yet and wont be for another 3 or 4 months!

You are in the black hole known as "filler". These episodes aren't manga-based, and most of them are pretty idiotic ("Laughing Shino").
Do yourself a favor: skip right to Shippuden (episodes 221-224). You will miss no plot details at all.
Shippuden is much better. The characters are all more experienced, and Sasuke is back in the plot.
The filler is pointless. It would be nice if the U.S. would just skip right to Shippuden [let's start a petition :) ].

I think that the why the episodes of Naruto are getting a little cheap where you're watching it is because maybe Kishimoto( The person who created Naruto) is probably trying to lead to somewhere big later. But it'll probably get better later on if you keep going. I hope I helped...

No i don't, as much as i love the show i wont watch it on you tube, i get tired of having to sift through peoples ametuer recordings that have them holding a camera in front of thier TV. I am however in the process of getting the entire collection on DVD, im a nut for collecting anime and cartoon series, It may have something to do with the fact you have been watching so many so close together as well. When you sit and do something repeatedly for days on end it starts to get less interesting, say like answering yahoo questions eheh

I go to YouTube every day! My accounting is "petranka"! I watch a lot of videos there! I watched Naruto there but i didn't stick to it because i didn't find anything interesting there! I suggest you stop watching it because it will kill your brain! Try watching "the 10th kingdom" or "the wolf's rain", etc....

Well, it's probably really boring because they're fillers, a lot of episodes are fillers. It'll get boring once in a while but don't fret, it'll get way better...^_^'
