Spongebob Squarepants at his best!, Aug 27 2002
This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories (Full Screen) (DVD)
This is the best one out of the 3 Spongebob DVD's. Here are the episodes on this DVD:
-Hooky: When fishing hooks are found in Bikini Bottom, Spongebob and Patrick like to ride them, but Mr. Krabs warns Spongebob and Patrick that they are dangerous, and can bring them to the land above!
-No Free Rides: When Spongebob yet again fails his boating test, Mrs. Puff gives Spongebob extra credit to get his license, so he can get out of her boating school.
-Sailor Mouth: When Spongebob finds a "bad word" on a dumpster, Patrick says it is a sentence enhancer. They use it often, shocking Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Krusty Krab customers!
-Life of Crime: Mr. Krabs is found stealing many items from his friends, and Spongebob and Patrick learn that "borrowing" an item is okay as long as it is given back before it's missed. Patrick wants to buy a balloon, but he can't afford it. They decide to borrow the balloon, and they pop it. They can't return it now, so they run away from Bikini Bottom thinking they're criminals.
No Weenies Allowed: When Spongebob tries to get into the Salty Spitoon, the toughest club in Bikini Bottom, he is denied access because he is considered a weenie. Spongebob will do anything to get in this club, even beat up Patrick!
-Pickles: When Bubble Bass comes to the Krusty Krab, he claims that Spongebob forgot to put in pickles in his Krabby Patty. That makes him forget how to make Krabby Patties, and how to just about anything. Mr. Krabs will go to lengths to get his money maker back to the grill!
-Jellyfish Jam: When Spongebob befriends a rare jellyfish, Spongebob brings it home. The jellyfish becomes addicted to loud, rave music, and calls his jelly friends to take over Spongebob's house to party.
-The Algae's Always Greener: When Plankton is fed up with his failed attempts to take[] a Krabby Patty, he builds a machine to switch lives with people. He switches lives with Mr. Krabs to see what is like to be him.
-Gary Takes a Bath: Spongebob has to do whatever possible to get Gary to take a bath. (Unseen episode, but was aired with Shanghaied on Nicktoons TV!)
-Shanghaied: The ultra-rare, only seen on TV twice! Squidward, Patrick and Spongebob stumble upon the sunken ship of the Flying Dutchman. They are all given 3 wishes when the return an object of his. The DVD will feature all three endings!
More to come on the third Spongebob Squarepants installment.

Long live the sponge!, Feb 21 2004
This review is from: SpongeBob SquarePants: Sea Stories (Full Screen) (DVD)
If you have little ones (and big ones too) that love the yellow sponge, then this is a great addition to your collection.
It has 10 quality episodes, including my personal favorite, Sailor Mouth. Now that is one funny episode, but back to the DVD.
Overall, 10 episodes, including Shanghaied with 3 different endings. A music video that is really nothing more than snippets of action from other shows, video game hints and tips and they are all in full screen format.
All the characters are here, so pull up a chair, grab a Krabby Pattie and enjoy the show without hesitation matey!

Insanely Funny! (but a word of advice...), Feb 21 2004
'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.
