The Absolute Worst of SpongeBob SquarePants
As everyone knows, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is one of the best TV cartoon shows ever made, whether you hate the show or like it, you will hear about it at least once in your lifetime. The first episodes of "SpongeBob SquarePants" (S1, S2, S3) were the best episodes in history, while the post-movie era had some early gems like "Have You Seen This Snail?", "Dunces and Dragons", "New Digs" and "Krusty Towers", the dark season, also known as Season 6, was the beginning of the decline in SpongeBob's quality. From S6 to S9, it was a horrible modern cartoon show. While "SpongeBob SquarePants" has become glorious once again since the old writers, including the founder Stephen Hillenburg, have returned, it still has some dark moments.
