To be completely honest, going into this episode I wasn't expecting much. Mr. Lawrence's writing has shown to be inconsistent in the past, but man oh man was this episode good. First off, Mr. Krabs wasn't being a money hungry greed freak. While there was some talk about his money, it wasn't the focus point of his characters. Additionally, the scene with Plankton and Sandy made me feel oddly nice; it's good to see a character interact with Plankton without immediately accusing him of doing something. The episode was also hilarious, with my favorite gag being the part where he impersonated the french narrator. Patrick felt in place in this episode too, with his stupidity being funny, and not annoying. And who didn't love the Bubblestand reference with "bring it around town." Also, did anyone else feel like Tom yelling at his kids was a reference to his psychoness in Chocolate With Nuts? My final comment is about the musical number, which was really good. A lot of the times songs in Spongebob are atrocities, but this one was really good. Overall I've been really impressed by post-season Spongebob episodes, with many great ones like The Sewers of Bikini Bottom, Mall Girl Pearl, Spongebob LongPants, Sanctuary, Larry's Gym, and Mimic Madness with the addition of this episode.
