Overall SpongeBob is a good show filled with very funny episodes (especially in the 1st three seasons). The Show came out when I was two years old so it has been around all my life. I have many nostalgic memories watching it with my siblings and used to watch SpongeBob SquarePants every day. One very nostalgic memory of SpongeBob is going to see the SpongeBob SquarePants movie. I hope SpongeBob SquarePants stays on the air for years to come so more generations of kids get to enjoy this show.
