Hey, I'm so glad there is a forum where I can talk about spongebob. Let me tell you I am 16. I don't watch spongebob much anymore, but sometimes when it is on. I used to watch it a lot when I was a young kid.

Man, the old episodes were wonderful! For example, the idiot box, or SB-129, or sleepy time (the one where he goes into other people's dreams). I miss them.

I don't think I'm the only one, when I say the new episodes all suck...what the heck has happened? All these new episodes are just bland and pointless, and nothing like the old episodes. I wish there was some way to contact the people who created spongebob. I will miss the good old spongebob dearly...oh well. Am I the only one?

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to include band geeks, another favorite. So many favorite episodes, I can't list them all.

Yep, I agree with pretty much everybody here. Why is there so much singing, also? Anyway, I still watch the new episodes, even though I know they will probably not be so good. I need to go to nick.com and see when they are though...I haven't seen the last few new episodes. And yes, atlantis squarepantis stunk. It dissapointed me a lot.

Also, on the new episodes, I feel like squidward is the butt of everybody's joke, and he always gets hurt. First it was funny, but now it's too much.

S1 was great, S2 was awesome, S3 was reveloutinary, S4 sucked balls, S5 was great.

I love S5, but the show is kinda going downwards.

Well you say four seasons are good except for one, so four out of five, why complain? I think a reason why people are getting rid up is because there isn't anything new; there still isn't word about season 6 or the end of season 5 but I heard that the writers are on strike or something (Google news) has anyone else heard about this yet? Note it was a while ago like late last year.

I do miss the old spongebob, it was classic, a wake-up-Saturday-morning cartoon, sort of the replacement when CN cancelled Looney Tunes. The show was clever, but in the latest seasons has lost its underwater elements. Bubbles when waving, or even running don't appear. Stories are more candid. Real images are scarce if any at all. The underwater light-wavy reflection thing is less frequent. The hawaiin-style bamboo and flower wall print are barely ever shown. Characters interrupt each other (not really, but as soon as a sentence ends, another immediatley begins). Its going on the same crash course as ed edd and eddy, the town and people are revamped, for 2 seasons top, then goes down. So i am still proofing a letter to mr. hillenburg, producer, explaining how pepole like the old spongebob. They have too many new characters/songs. Sandy is too smart, Patrick is too dumb, Squidward is too ridiculed, Spongebob is too annoying, mr. krabs, well, he's allright. The morals are all preachy now. I also agree, it CAN get better. They just need to be talked sense into. The Western one had too many songs, so did Atlantis, Best Day ever was okay. I think all the songs are publications for new CDs and money. I love spongebob and its old humor, the animation is good, but story telling isn't as good, vice versa for old seasons.
