Summary: Insanely Funny! (but a word of advice...)
Review: 'Sea Stories' is the most popular compilation of episodes of Nickelodeon's cartoon hit, SpongeBob Squarepants. The VHS edition contains five episodes, all of which are insanely funny:
-"Shanghaied", where SpongeBob and his team deal with the ghost pirate The Flying Dutchman, driving him up the walls of his patience with their nonsense.
-"Gary Takes A Bath", an instant classic that can make many parents feel identified, as SpongeBob goes through lots of hoops in an effort to try to get his pet Gary to take a bath... the best of all the episodes!
-"Hooky" - SpongeBob and Patrick have fun playing with the hooks from fishermen, in somewhat of a "bungee-like" fashion, jumping off of them before they get pulled out of the water, until SpongeBob learns his lesson.
-"Life of Crime" - another very funny episode where SpongeBob and his 'partner in crime' Patrick run away after the ballom they borrowed (because it was "okay to borrow things") pops and they feel they're going to be put into jail for having stolen a baloon.
-"Pickles", a hilarious face-to-face between SpongeBob and Bubble Bath makes him loose his self-confidence as a chef when he's accused of having forgotten to put pickles in his locally "famous" krabby patty. While all the episodes contain fairly innocent humor (that parents and everyone alike will laugh to) when compared to other past cartoons (such as "Ren and Stimpy"), I'd advice parents to stick around when your children watch SpongeBob. He can provide you with some valuable tools to get your children to understand certain things, but by the same token, he can twist some things that might later complicate matters (making certain things confusing in their minds), considering the easy way in which the kids connect to the character. All in all, far from a bad influence and very funny. The only aside: just keep an eye on the kids and talk to them about the episodes, if you feel it is appropriate.

Summary: Gary RULES!!!
Review: All I have to say is SpongeBob is the best thing ever!!!... Gary is most definitely a snail, BUT he does not act like SpongeBob's "dog"...a cat is more like it. So I give everything about'SpongeBob' a thumbs up...

Summary: Are ya ready kids?
Review: Aye Aye Captain! That's for sure! SpongeBob rules the seven seas. I have all the DVD's so far, and I never get tired of watching them over and over again. He's as entertaining for kids as much as he is for adults (although Patrick is my favorite character). Who's house? SpongeBob's house! I said, who's house? SpongeBob's house! All hail the magic conch shell! Jelly fishing anyone?

Summary: Spongebob's the best!
Review: Charles Solomon has got it all wrong, there's nothing amateurish or predictable about Spongebob Squarepants. The setting, and often the stories, are imaginative, the characters and their voices are funny and engaging, the animation is a pleasure to look at, and much of the humor is more than slightly offbeat. I hardly watch television at all, and yet I watch Spongebob. And I'm a grown adult in graduate school for crying out loud! This is one grad student who can't wait for the release of the Spongebob DVD.

Summary: Great product, with an obviously confused reviewer
Review: Charles solomon is wrong about this Video/DVD! The show is completely suitable for all ages. Some of the humor may be a little crude, but it's no worse than a disney movie. The little gross humor it has is extremely mild. For example, when spongebob vomits water at Gary, who is a cat by the way, he just squirts water. There is completely no violence. Now why would they have violence in such a positive, clean show like this? This DVD/video is most assuradly yhe best one so far. It will entertain adults for sure. There are no scary parts, exept briefly in one episode, in which spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward are captured by a mean ghost that likes to scare people, but that one is more intended for adults anyway.

Summary: Editorial disagreement
Review: Charles, mate, can I just correct you on a few things? Thanks...
PREDICTABLE HUMOUR: How can humour simultaneously be "predictable" and "offbeat"? One of the great things about the series as a whole is that unexpected lines often come out- often tailored to the more mature audiences. (hang on, mature? I'm watching a cartoon...oh well)
AMATEURISH VOCAL ACTING: Ok, that's why many of the vocal actors have won awards as well as acclaim for their talents then?! Tom Kenny (Spongebob) also appears in such greats as Johnny Bravo and more. Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs) even played the fearsome captain in 'The Shawshank Redemption' -hardly an amateur. There are talents too numerous to account for here -check the awards pages for vocal actiong.
GROSS-OUT:? Actually, the creator, Steve Hillenburg studied Marine Studies at uni, so what you might think of as "vomiting" is funnily enough a natural process in actual sponges, being porous and squeezy and all..He sticks to some facts rigidly!
GARY THE DOG: ? Do dogs meow? Cos I thought that was cats. 2ndly, Gary is much more intelligent than Spongebob and often offers advice and guidance to 'Bob's whims.
OVERALLL: Watch it again, Charles, and I'm sure you'll love it as much as the rest if us! Best episode on this DVD is 'Sailor Mouth'! This DVD collation has weaknesses, but that's probably 'cos it's half aimed at kids and half at adults. You're never going to get the ideal, but Spongebob is something I can watch all day if my diary demands nothing else...and enjoy. I can't wait to be the only person under 30 in the cinema in November!!!

Summary: Great DVD!
Review: Gary Takes A Bath-Great episode! 10/10 Hooky-Not so good. 6.5/10 No Free Rides-Pretty funny. 8/10 Sailor Mouth-Used to be my favorite episode, until I saw I Had an Accident. 10/10 Life Of Crime-An OK episode. 7.5/10 No Weenies Allowed-That was so funny, especially with Patrick being beat up while Spongebob wasn't even touching him. 9/10 Pickles-The worst episode on the DVD. Only reaches my average. 5/10 Jellyfish Jam-Wasn't horrible by any means, but after the greatness of Sailor Mouth, it seemed terribly lacking. 7/10 The Algae's Always Greener-A solid episode, but nothing memorable. 7.5/10 Shanghaied-Pretty good! Especially Squidward's ending. 8/10 Overall Rating: 78.5/100 Final thoughts: The DVD included many very good episodes, but still, none of them were better than Sailor Mouth or Gary Takes a Bath. Those were in my opinion the best episodes on the DVD. Some episodes were very good, others stunk.

Review: Here's a list of the episodes: Gary Takes a Bath: 4/5 Can only watch it once. Hooky 4/5 Funny, but gets old after a while. Life Of Crime 5/5 One of my favorites - shows how stupid Patrick is. "Liar, liar, plants for hire." Pickles 5/5 I like when Spongebob tries to remember how to make the Krabby Patty. No Free Rides 4.5/5 Good episode Sailor Mouth 5/5 One of my favorites. Spongebob and Patrick learn a new word... No Weenies Allowed 6/5 One of the best episodes. My favorite besides the Krusty Krab Training Video. It's really funny. Jellyfish Jam 3/5 The jellyfish episodes just sort of annoy me. The Alge's Always Greener 4.5/5 Funny - Plankton switches lives with Mr. Krabs. Shanghaid 5/5 Hillarious and it comes with three different endings. Overall, it's a great DVD. Also, has some special features.
