I love Spongebob. I have been watching it since it first premiered in 1999.

Well since this thread was bumped again I would like to add that I recently saw the new Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water probably like 2 weeks ago now and I loved it. It was amazing.

Band Geeks IS the best episode, who can forget that part as well as the ending.

Haters gonna hate, go back to watching Kim Possible. I kid, I kid.

I can't fairly vote on this poll. If the show was only Seasons 1-3, it would be one of my favorite tv series of all-time. Season 4 was fairly good, but a noticeable drop and it just got worse from there.

I tend to have strong reactions to the show, going in both positive and negative directions. And it's not just seasonal rot. Seasons 1 to 3 episodes were generally better quality than more recent seasons, but even back then, some episodes were unpleasant to watch. Conversely, some of the newer episodes are quite good, like that one based around Spongebob and Patrick just building sandcastles and messing around.

I guess that Spongebob's biggest strength and weakness is that its lack of a proper canon or sense of consistency extends to the episodes themselves. Lots of episodes feel very different from one another, and even episodes that rip off older ones end up being pretty different. This leads to pleasant surprises, but it also leads to my getting disapponted in a new way every new bad episode I watch.

Though to be fair, it's better to become bad due to experiments gone wrong than by being boring.

I used to love Spongebob, but the new episodes are just bare bone pieces of trash.

It's okay but I know a lot more cartoons that are better.

Most of the episodes are just rehashes of the same ideas.

Kind of like the Simpsons. Brilliant at first, but went on far longer than it should have.

i love spongebob... i ignored the series until college.... man spongebob is hilarious!!!

if you know what will happen next to this..... LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
