I have tried watching the show but found it was really bad.  It had nothing interesting, no good graphic and the story sucks.  So, how come Sponge Bob is so popular that other companies use it for marketing?

there are a lot of annoying parts to the show, but there is also a lot of very very funny parts. the problem is to see them you must stick with it through the entire episode. just take patrick for instance. patrick is the funniest character, but he's not in every episode. you're not going to see everything good when you just flip to the channel\n\nto understand the show you must throw away any reservations you may have for it because it is on nickelodeon. if you don't have any prejudice for it, i guarantee at some point in every episode you will laugh very hard. just ignore the sappy parts

gambit is tight. its unbelievable they rather put in toad or other characters wich nobody cares about instead of the guys that we use to see on cartoons since we were kids. they put in all these new guys and take out the originals. thats b.s.

Well the ratings for Family Guy got lousy so they needed new ratings basicly. The True Story of Stewie Griffen was a temporary comeback. I can't see why they were ditched, it was a great show.

I don't remember ever watching it but I have heard of it and from what I have heard it was funny.\nI don't think it was very popular though and unless its just something that tons of people want to watch the network will put other things on instead so they can earn more money.

Nope. I'm 25 and watch Spongebob all the time. My aunt (who's in her 40s) likes it too.

I hate all of these new shows...they really have to get be Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, and Pete and Pete....they start to make these show that are on for like a week...then they take them off but they had to take off an old show...Like Pelswick, it was on for like a month then taken off, but they took off a old show for that.

I think it's all fair. South Park has made a huge impact on making fun of EVERYTHING no matter what it is. It just so happens that this time they picked a very popular cartoon show. I thought it was pretty neat becuase the whole purpose of that particular episode was to make fun of their own network. (Comedy Central) They just used the whole Family Guy/ The Simpsons to do it. I love all three shows, props to the Trey and Mat for that one. Family is funnier though.

I agree:  While almost any show can be found to have some redeeming value somewhere (as another answerer pointed out about SpongeBob,) I think it is dangerous to just hope that the kids are picking the correct message out of most programs.\n\nBesides, there are SO MANY other things to do!  I look at it more from the point of view that there are too many other things a child (especially a young one) should be doing instead:  playing with toys, reading, playing with friends, just running or biking outside, playing with parents, etc. etc.\n\nWhile I agree that it would be possible for a child to have a very healthy & happy life with no TV whatsoever, I also don't think it necessarily needs to be removed completely, as another writer suggested.  Small doses of TV, large doses of playtime!

The magic sponge moved on to bigger and better things.\nHe got his own television show.\nHis name is Bob.\nMaybe you've seen his show.  If you haven't, ask any kid.  He'll tell you about it.

These billboards are all over the US as of a few weeks ago.  Atlanta has been plagued with "I pooted" and "My boogers itch".  These phrases are from Fosters and Ed Edd and Eddy.  Other cities have seen "I have a meat beard" and "clowns hate tangelos".  These are from other cartoon network shows.  They possibly dis-included logos to get a better buzz, but children have a great recall quality that will enable them to remember lines like these from thier favorite television shows.  Since they are ads, the  purpose still is yet to be seen.  Have fun watching them pop up!

Well, it is Brittany Spears's younger sister, and we all know what a wholesome role model Brittany is. And Sponge Bob is awesome. It's a cartoon, with animated characters, which children know are not real, provided they were taught what is real and what is fiction. But these tween shows portray live action actors, it is giving pre teens a sense of reality that is unachievable because it doesn't have a ridiculous premise like other shows. I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up and try to emulate that. If it were animated it would not have the same impact, but when real people act out these situations it becomes more plausible to a very young and impressionable mind.

I have to agree. When I was a kid I watched Smurfs, Fraggle Rock, Thundercats, He-Man & She-Ra, David the Knome.. I could go on. The shows my girls watch today are sometimes a little vial with their gas and booger jokes. With the exception of SpongeBob, I think it's all crap.

As far as I know, it was canceled a while ago. That doesn't mean it's not worth buying. Just because the show isn't going to get finished, doesn't make the old episodes bad.
