it’s great. I had to abandon all reality and embrace it as a fantasy show about 10 minutes in when they asked me to believe a sponge lives in a pineapple under the sea. This is preposterous. As we all know sponges live on coral, and certainly don't look like a kitchen sponge or wear pants. I had been under the impression this would be a documentary, like Finding Nemo.
The moment you meet Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel who lives underwater, in a spacesuit, well, this T.V. show was finished as to anything remotely physically/humanly possible or relating to reality. So, nature documentary it is not Looney Tunes style fantasy it is. Ok I can do that
The rest of the TV show is as unbelievable as the opening pineapple under the sea hook.
Nothing, and I mean nothing in this TV show is based in reality. Not the Krusty Krab, imagine trying to cook hamburgers underwater? You can't! Not the stupid location, Bikini Bottom, really? And absurd plots about learning to drive a car underwater, sponges don't have feet, there are no roads in the ocean, the car would not be able to move forward due to buoyancy! Anyways, I digress.
So, pure unadulterated fantasy it is. And in that light, sure, it's a winner.
I think if you loved the Little Mermaid you probably love Spongebob. Both absurd in the real world, but work when you just enjoy the fantasy.
