I'm going to give every episode that I've watched a simple rating. I'll use Pieguyrulz's rating system: Good, Meh, or Scumbob. I'm basing the ratings on different factors, but mostly on how much I enjoy an episode. Keep in mind these are just my opinions. I'm doing this for fun, and to see what episodes I like and don't like. I do think most episodes of the show are Good though, so it might not always be the most exciting list. I think I'll rate more episodes Meh and Scumbob the further I get into the series though. I'll put "TBA" if I haven't seen an episode, and maybe I'll watch and rate it later. I may post a further explanation of an episode where feel I need to. I may also "recycle/repost" my thoughts on an episode from different threads I posted in on this site (I think it might be interesting to repost some of my thoughts onto here). I've seen up to about Season 11-ish. You can post any comments or ask me to elaborate more on a rating etc if you want. Here we go!

OVERALL SEASON RANKING: GOOD
NOTES: Well would you look at that, I think every episode of Season 1 is good. Even ones that are often considered not so good by fans like "I Was a Teenage Gary" and "Neptune's Spatula." I think Season 1 is a classic and probably the most charming season of the series imo. This season does a great job introducing and establishing the show/characters. It's also a very solid start for the series. A lot of first seasons end up being weaker than the rest. But I don't feel that way as much with this one. Aside from maybe a few episodes being a bit weaker, most of the episodes are very good imo. I feel the characters might be at their most charming here too, which is good for their introduction. Not at their funniest, but most charming I feel. This is still a very funny season though. I think the next few seasons are stronger as the series developed more, but this season is still strong. The cel animation is also very charming and retro.
"My Recycled Thoughts":
Reef Blower- I think Reef Blower is an amusing short. Interesting visual events and humor. I've always liked the part where SpongeBob sucks in the entire ocean's water with his reef blower. And some people complained about that happening in "A Flea in her Dome" ha ha. I like that this short does something different being that it's one of the few silent episodes in the series. Interesting that Season 1 had a short before Season 5 started doing it. This short was made because the pilot episode wasn't 11 minutes, so something else was needed to fill the gaps. They could have made Tea at the Treedome slightly longer though, I've seen other shows do that. Overall, I think this is an amusing, unique short. But not the most memorable episode of the show understandably.
SB-129- A very unique and classic SpongeBob episode. The title card is narrated and animated, so that sets the tone for the episode being different. This episode has a lot of interesting concepts involving time travel: like everything being chrome in the future, Squidward being stuck alone in "nowhere," and Squidward freezing himself for 2,000 years. Another interesting aspect is that this episode sort of set up the episode Spongebob B.C. (Ugh), when Squidward goes back to the past and meets prehistoric versions of Spongebob and Patrick. The prehistoric versions in Ugh are much more civilized in comparison though. It's also cool that this episode premiered with other Nicktoons to celebrate Y2K. The jokes are classic too, like the chrome, the "alone" gag, manners not being invented yet, "FUTUURREE!", and Squidward accidentally inventing jellyfishing in the past. Overall, a very memorable, unique, and awesome episode. One of my favorites.
