AS was like a six-year old tying his shoes for the first time, that's a good analogy for that season. :3

PI is unquestionably better than AS. And if you're going to watch the fifth season, just stick with that that. It's seriously for the better. But I wil lsay that I did not find it as good as everyone was still proclaiming when I finally got around to watching it. For me it felt very average and I was not impressed by this third cast, save for a few of the mergers. This cast is far too gimmicky. Plus there is Chris' insufferable antics which have only gotten more grating the more they're played up, and the finale episode is straight up crap. I don't love TDPI, it's average. It's passable, it's mostly inoffensive. But it is better than TDAS. As far as Total Drama seasons go, it's okay.
