I know I'm doing the worst S.A. list already, and I intend to finish it.
However, I always wondered which is the best SB season. Apparently season 3 is the best one, as it's got the highest amount of good episodes. But is it true? Or does another season take the cake? For example, season 2?
So, in order to analyze which is the best between season 2 and season 3 (the ones considered the best), I'm going to compare each episode "one pairing against the other pairing", so that we can find out which season started and developed better.
I know someone else already did this kind of topic in the past, so in order to make it a bit different, I'm going to analyze also its flaws, and we're going to find out which season has the lower amount of flawed episodes.
P.S: of course you can express your opinion, even if it is different from mine.
So, without further ado, let's begin:
S2: Your Shoe's Untied-Squid's Day Off
VS
S3: The Algae's Always Greener-SpongeGuard on Duty
Let's begin with the opening pairings.
Your Shoe's Untied is a good episode, but isn't anything memorable. And to be fair, I've got an issue: if the Flying Dutchman can make every type of knot, I guess he could actually know how to tie Spongebob's shoe. I know that scene was made for laughs, but it's a bit off. The ending is okay, Gary wearing shoes is kinda odd and the song is nice. As an opening episode it's not that bad.
Squid's Day Off is much better than its sister episode. Squidward's paranoia is well developed and I really liked Spongebob's innocence, his quote in Squidward's imagination 'I will destroy the Krusty Krab' and Krabs' arms falling off at the end. It's a very funny episode. The ending is a bit cheap, though. Could've been more complete. Still, I really enjoy this one.
As for the first pairing of season 3:
For being a season 3 episode, The Algae's Always Greener is a bit underrated. This role reversal between Krabs and Plankton is very well done. It has some funny moments, like naked Krabs' getting a bra, but also some weaker ones, like Spongebob being a bit annoying. Nevertheless, this episode has a very interesting concept and doesn't fail in developing it.
SpongeGuard on Duty, on the other hand, is quite overrated: it's not a bad episode, it has some funny things like Patrick (he's the best character here), but the middle is just meh. Bikini-bottomites are basically useless, even as background characters. So... yup, good but not that great.
Which premiere is better?
This round goes to season 2. Even though SDO and TAAG are both good episodes, YSU is slightly better than SoD, because the former is more balanced, even without standing out too much.
Season 2 1-0 Season 3
