Though I can understand the motives of people not liking Spongebob, I cannot agree. Yeah, Spongebob is annoying when he laughs, and it is over all a dumb show... but it's a well made dumb show. Considering the toy based shows all over the place, and there's like 1 decent kid's anime to every 3000 Pokeyugidigibalde Masters show (right now, One Piece) it's one of the better shows out there. Personally I like Fairly Oddparents and especially Invader Zim (having just seen it), but Spongebob is a delightfully irreverant, and irrelevant show. Personally, try looking at the show from a different point of view, and You'll enjoy it more. Look at it from Squidward's perspective. he has to live with an annoying sponge, and a brain dead Starfish (Starfish, in reality have no brain) EVERY DAY OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE! I find it much funnier in that context. Sort of like BlackAdder, only totally different in every aspect.
In fact, the only current nick toon I really hate? That Rocket Power Non-sense... I mean, what's up with that?
