I'm with you. Some of the fillers are forgettable but there are some that are well worth watching, and that's partly my point. We're getting all of this free entertainment and people are bad mouthing it because it doesn't meet their "standards". I remember watching episode 158 subbed by DB and these clever folk write at the end of the start theme, "Nothing happens in this episode worth seeing. We're sorry". But this is one of the funnier episodes I'd seen in a while and had lots of great moments to add to the Naruto story. Sure I'd like to see them get back to the main storyline too, but I'm not going to whine and complain about these episodes because they add their own contribution to make watching Naruto as enjoyable as it is.

I read your replies to my first post and here's an answer to the main points:

So who's worse, the complainer, someone who complains about complainers, or someone who complains about someone else who complained about complainers? Its a vicious cycle really.

Who came up with the ridiculous term "filler" anyway? I guess it's something that happens to any anime series that strays from the main storyline, but it's sad to see people stop supporting a great series just because it's hit hard times. Stick with the show and the good times can return. If you stop supporting the show, they definitely never will.
