    I sure hope DC-Dude doesn't mind if I do one of these. I have so many ideas what episodes we can compare and communicate with. This time its about the writer that has vanished off the face of the SpongeBob universe. His name is Mike Bell. In case nobody knows who Mike Bell is, he has written/co-written three episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. Those episodes are Shell of a Man, The Lost Mattress, and Good Neighbors. Let's compare and communicate the episodes that he has written.

    My vote goes to The Lost Mattress. This episode is so silly that I like it better than the other three. My favorite part is when SpongeBob annoys Mr Krabs and Squidward just sits back and laughs and then he says he likes the new Mr Krabs because he yells at SpongeBob more.

    The Lost Matress hands down. It's a series classic IMO!

    I'd have to say Shell of a Man. It wasn't good but I hated The Lost Mattress and Good Neighbors with such passion.

    WAIT A MINUTE!!!

    How the heck does Good Neighbors have the most votes right now? This is an outrage!!!

    He doesn't seem like a good writer to me, though I'll vote The Lost Matress.

    You should have put a 'none' choice. All of those were pretty bad. Sorry, Mike Bell.

    I would have to say that the best episode Mike Bell wrote was Shell of a Man. That was a good Mr. Krabs episode and was one of the few in the later seasons that showed no greediness in him and he was not a heartless jerk in that episode either. It was nice seeing his Navy buddies too! Iron Eye!

    The Lost Mattress was pretty good too and Squidward didn't go through that much trouble (unlike in Good Neighbors.)

    Good Neighbors was WAY too cruel for Squidward, so I'd say that was Mike Bell's worst episode that he wrote.

    Here's how I rate them:

    1. Shell of a Man (best.)

    2. Lost Mattress (in the middle.)

    3. Good Neighbors (worst.)
