SpongeBob SquarePants: Season Six, Vol. 1 Review

SpongeBob SquarePants: Season Six, Vol. 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a huge fan of SpongeBob, ever since it came on TV in May of 1999. Sadly, this set only contains half of the season. Why won't they listen to us fans and release the complete season?! Anyways, this set contains the first twelve (well, actually there is two per episode, so twenty-four episodes ) episodes of the sixth season.
Below I have listed the episodes that are included in this DVD set.
Disc One
1. House Fancy/Krabby Road
2. Penny Folish/Nautical Novice
3. Spongicus/Suction Cup Symphony
4. Not Normal/Gone
5. The Splinter/Slide Whistle Stooges
6. A Life in a Day/Sun Bleached
Disc Two
7. Giant Squidward/No Nose Knows
8. The Patty Caper/Plankton's Regular
9. Boating Buddies/The Krabby Kronicle
10. The Slumber Party/Grooming Gary
11. SpongeBob vs. The Big One (guest starring Johnny Depp as Jack Kahuna Laguna!)
12. Porous Pockets/Choir Boys
Special Features
- The SpongeBob History Song
- Ballons (bonus short)
- Juiceman (bonus short)
- The Outfit (bonus short)
- Traffic (bonus short)
My advice, if you are a big fan of SpongeBob, then I would buy this set and add it to your collection. But, if you're not, then I would wait until it comes down in price. The set may contain only the first twenty episodes, but we'll have to wait and see if I'm right. Until then, it is listed as containing twenty-four episodes.

SpongeBob SquarePants - Season 4, Vol. 1 (1999) Review

The first three seasons of Spongebob were great. It was an absurd masterpeice of the highest order that made Ren and Stimpy look like "Washington Week in Review" in comparison. It had comedy that kids could relate to as well as something for us adults, mainly in the characters that resemble people we see in real life every day: the eternal optimist (Spongebob), the psychotic best friend (Patrick), the "foreigner" just trying to adapt to new surroundings (Sandy), the "accomplished neophyte" that lacks any real skill (Squidward), and the cheapskate (Mr. Krabs).
Unfortunately, in its fourth season, Spongebob jumps the shark, probably due to the departure of creator and marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg. The cartoon inhabitants of Bikini Bottom have become just exaggerated caricatures of their past incarnations - they are cartoons of cartoons. The clever dialogue and straightforward storylines of past seasons have been replaced with slap-stick physical comedy and overly complex storylines that are boring for children and too inane for adults.
So why, you might ask, am I giving it three stars? Because it still has its moments. In particular, I really loved "Patrick Smartpants" which was nothing short of a series classic. Patrick and Sponge Bob are jellyfishing when Patrick runs off a cliff and loses his head, which Sponge Bob (accidentally) replaces with brain coral. Patrick then becomes a genius, discussing classical music with Squidward and complex physics and calculus with Sandy. I also liked the half hour episode, "Have You Seen This Snail? (Where's Gary?)" in which SpongeBob tries to beat a paddle-ball world record and forgets to feed Gary -- for 10 days. Gary runs away to downtown Bikini Bottom where he is taken in by a kindly old woman who indulges him in every way possible. This is fine with Gary until he finds out why he is being fattened up, and promptly returns home to a lonely and penitent SpongeBob.
There were other good episodes, but the bad episodes are pretty awful. For example, I found myself just plain bored with "Dunces and Dragons", in which Spongebob and Patrick get transported to medieval times, and the season openers "Fear of A Krabby Patty" and "Shell of a Man" were so bad they were just plain embarrassing to watch. Also, although this show has always had some mild adult humor built into it, mainly in the form of witty dialogue, the episode "SquidBob TentaclePants" is way too scary for small children. It is very much like the 80's version of "The Fly" - where SpongeBob and Squidward get spliced together in Sandy's transporter machine. The results of these animated Frankenstein-like mixtures might be funny to adults, but I can see it inducing nightmares in small children. Graphic horror is just not what you expect when you tune in to SpongeBob.
All in all, I think these first twenty episodes of season four form a "take it or leave it" kind of season, which is just not how I would have ever expected to describe any season of SpongeBob.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You: The Complete Series Review

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You: The Complete Series
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This set will contain all three seasons of the original Scooby-Doo series, universally referred to as Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (despite the fact that the third season was officially titled The Scooby-Doo Show). This show is a part of many people's childhood regardless of what generation they are apart of. Originally airing in 1969 it became a classic and that's why even as a child growing up in the nineties I remember watching this series every morning almost religiously. It became so loved that its various incarnations have continued to air from 1969 to this very day in 2010. It also spawned three live action movies and countless animated movies. All that aside, Scooby-Doo Where Are You? is where it all began and what some (myself included) regard as the best. This limited edition collector's set contains three seasons of Scooby Doo, 41 episodes in total spread across 7 discs.
Season 1
1 What a Night for A Knight
2 A Clue for Scooby-Doo
3 Hassle in the Castle
4 Mine Your Own Business

8 Foul Play in Funland
9 The Backstage Rage
10 Bedlam in the Bigtop
11 A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts
12 Scooby-Doo and a Mummy Too!
13 Which Witch is Which?
14 Spooky Space Kook
15 Go Away Ghost Ship
16 A Night of Fright is No Delight

This set will also contain all the special features released on the previous two individual sets. ALSO an eighth disc will also be included and contains NEW BONUS MATERIALS.
Previously Released Special Features Included In This Set:
*Featurette: Scooby-Doo's Ultimate Fans
*Get the Picture: How to draw Scooby and the gang
*Funky Fashions

*The Scooby-Doo Gang, In Their Own Words: Featurette focusing on the original voice cast of Scooby-Doo and how they originated the characters' unique voices. (5 mins)
The best reason for fans to buy this complete series set, aside from the eighth disc and its new bonus materials, is the unique packaging. The discs will be held in a plastic Mystery Machine that sits on a decorative stand. The back end of the mystery machine lifts up to reveal discs that sit in cardboard sleeves (I'm not thrilled about the cardboard sleeves but I've dealt with them before and the rest of this set looks so great I can overlook them). If you haven't bought the series this is a great opportunity to get the three seasons in one set and for those who already bought those sets, myself included, the unique display packaging makes this set worthwhile for hardcore Scooby-Doo fans, again myself most definitely included. I'll definitely be getting this as a Christmas gift. Hope this was helpful, I'll update if I learn more and then once I finally hold the product in my hands, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!!!

Hanna- Barbera series featuring Scooby Doo, a dog who joins Velma, Daphne, Freddie, and Shaggy on many quests to solve mysterious. Each mystery is new and unusual and involves the group stopping someone from wreaking certain havoc on the world. Scooby-Doo was a large, loveable but cowardly Great Dane who hung around four California high school students (Fred, Velma, Daphne and Shaggy). The four teen-agers were in constant search of mysteries and adventures, driving around in a bright green van known as the Mystery Machine. Many of the group's adventures involved villians who took on supernatural disguises (ghosts and monsters); the villians' activities usually involved blackmail, theft, fraud and other forms of corruption. At the first hint of trouble, Scooby-Doo (and usually, Shaggy as well) running for cover; they usually found themselves in even deeper trouble. It usually took the promise of a Scooby snack to get Scooby (and Shaggy) to come out of hiding. The mysteries were always solved by the end of each show.
