I have some Spongebob VHS tapes from 2002-2003 that I used to watch all the time. They're called "Sea Stories" and "Laugh your pants off". I rewatched them recently, and the pre-show commercials were so nostalgic. I read that Sea Stories had a DVD release that had more episodes and better image quality than the VHS version, but lacked the advertisements. I would choose the VHS version again because that's how much I like the commercials!
