Truth or Square Turns Out Well-Rounded

Saturday November 14, 2009

Truth or SquareI had doubts that the recent Truth or Square special of SpongeBob SquarePants would be funny or clever. I was quite wrong. There's a reason the special drew 7.7 million total viewers, ranking as basic cable's number-one entertainment show for the week. Silly dialogue and songs were abundant, and the plot was reasonable. As I had suspected, and hoped, SpongeBob's marriage to Sandy had little to do with anything that happened. Besides SpongeBob decorating the Krusty Krab with toilet paper and mustard, the best part of the episode was the stop-motion animated opening sequence. My kids and I were mesmerized. What did you think? Check out clips at Nick.com.
