Still amazed at how many parents I know hate SpongeBob. As in, “My kids will never watch it because it’s a corrupting influence on them.” Like, Hayes Code-era moral panic about it.

These are also the same people who grew up watching un-censored Warner Bros. cartoons.

I was introduced to SpongeBob by friends of mine who didn’t have kids. They just acted like kids. Heh.

I like it. Some of the more recent episodes are hit or miss, but there are some hilarious ones. I think one of my favorites, aside from the one where Sandy misses Texas, is when Squidward finally has enough and moves into a gated community with other squids. That one is great.
