Two-year-olds are funny creatures.  The are almost like butterflies as compared to caterpillars, a beast of a completely different nature.  They develop personality.  They develop actual memory.  They sort of become real people.  And it is a scary thing.  And its a giant pain in the ass. I have to say, the absolute funniest thing about Nathan, my two-year-old son, is his constant narrative.  He reminds me of Peter Griffin from an episode of Family [...]

I was just watching an older Spongebob episode- not “classic” old, but several years.  It was the Kelp Shake episode, and while in the middle of viewing all of these new mediocre SB episodes, it reminded me of what makes a good Spongebob episode good, and not just fair. It’s a Plankton episode, but that’s okay.  I do like some of them. Now what makes this episode good? The difference, first off, is the interesting [...]

Growth Spout was the sixth episode from the SB Summer Bash I feel like a broken record at this point- it was okay, not great. Episode starts off with Pearl going through a growth spurt, and she demands food.  She eats the entire fridge in one bite. Krabs first goes to Ms. Puff’s house and starts harvesting what look like giant peanuts, but they are all really worms, and they begin to spit disgustingly at him.  [...]

This is the review of the fifth new episode for the summer bash. And thank god, no Plankton this time around. Quick synopsis: Spongebob dances at work and is approached bya  talent scout for an audition for a show she is promoting.  SB tells Squidward, so off course, Squidward is jealous. We can to see a little more of Squid’s evil side this episode.  He decides he will try to tire SB out so badly [...]

Yes, another Plankton episode.  It’s starting to get on my nerves.  So much potential, and the writers are falling back on the same old stories too many times. The episode is not terribly interesting.  In fact, Karen, Plankton’s robot wife, wraps it up quite nicely: Repulsive. In this episode, Plankton is unknowingly brought back to Sandy’s habit inside of Sandy’s suit.  She goes to shower, but before she does, she peels off her fur, revealing the [...]

This is the third new episode from the SB Summer Bash In this episode, Plankton decides to try drumming up business by advertising with a catchy sign.  He hires Patrick as his advertising guru, and Patrick comes up with the slogan: Chum is Fum.  Business booms, and on several occasions, the customers are seen saying that the food is awful, and then they violently throw up.  After several days, the customers get bored of the slogan, [...]

Time to switch my focus away from politics and Spongebob and TV and comic books for a couple of minutes and return to the fatherhood mindset, because quite a few things have happened in the past couple of weeks.  My wife gave birth to my second child, a little girl, and life has definitely changed.  I remember when my son Nathan was born.  My wife and I spent so much time with him as an [...]
