DVD Reviews of SpongeBob SquarePants - The Complete 1st SeasonDVD Review: "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?. . . " Summary: 5 Stars
Spongebob Squarepants, along with Fairly Odd Parents, is the best kid's animated series on TV today. It has the shameless silliness for the kids and the witty cracks and well-evolved characters that adults can appreciate. I am 30 and have watched these episodes numerous times and will continue to. They are just funny. I can relate to Squidward Tentacles' surly "whatever" attitude towards life. The money-grubbing Mr. Krabs is hilarious as well as Spongebob's dim-witted friend, Patrick. Plankton has to be funniest villain on television today! Anyway, this series was spot on from the beginning to which the following first season episodes attest:
Disc 1:
Reef Blower: Contrary to previous reviews, "Help Wanted" (where Spongebob is hired at the Krusty Krab) is not included on this disc. The first episode shown here is the one where Spongebob (SB) and Patrick interrupt Squidward's quiet time by demonstrating the fun one can have with reef blowers.
Tea at the Teadome: Sandy Cheeks the Squirrel is introduced and Patrick gives SB misguided advice on how to handle himself in Sandy's air-filled home.
Bubblestand: Squidward ends up paying for bubble blowing lessons from SB.
Ripped Pants: A beach mishap gives SB his 15 minutes of fame which he soon abuses.
Jellyfishing: SB and Patrick want to give Squidward (in a full body cast after a bicycle accident) his "best day ever" by taking him jellyfishing.
Plankton: [w/ commentary] Introduces Mr. Krab's arch-enemy who tries to take-over SB's brain.
Naughty Nautical Neighbors: Squidward thinks its hilarious to break up SB and Patrick's friendship until they look to him to fill their friendship void.
Boating School: Patrick tries to radio instructions to SB so he will finally pass his boating test.
Pizza Delivery: The Krusty Krab doesn't serve pizza. . . or does it? For money, Mr. Krabs will have his crew deliver anything.
Home Sweet Pineapple: Nematodes destroy SB's pineapple and he might have to move back into his parent's house.
Mermaidman and Barnacleboy: Featuring the voices of Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway. SB and Patrick try to get their heroes out of retirement.
Pickles: SB is devastated when he forgets to put pickles on Bubble Bass' krabby patty.
Hall Monitor: SB's title for the day goes to his head.
Jellyfish Jam: SB finds out that wild jellyfish throw wild parties.
Sandy's Rocket: Sandy plans a trip to the moon in her rocket. SB and Patrick get her there, as well as the rest of Bikini Bottom.
Squeaky Boots: Mr. Krab's convinces SB to give up his paycheck for Pearl's ill-received birthday gift.
Disc 2:
Nature Pants: SB wants to live among the jellyfish (don't we all).
Opposite Day: Squidward introduces a fake holiday to keep SB and Patrick away from him while he tries to sell his house. Of course, it backfires.
Culture Shock: Squidward plans a talent show and hires a popular guy to clean up.
F.U.N.: Plankton and SB become friends? I love the F.U.N. song (especially Plankton's version of the lyrics)!
MuscleBob BuffPant: SB buys blow-up muscle arms to impress Sandy and finds they are not too useful in weight-lifting competition.
Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost: Squidward doesn't mind that SB and Patrick think he's a ghost, until they decide he needs to go to the other side.
The Chaperone: SB takes Pearl to her prom.
Employee of the Month: SB and Squidward compete for the honor.
Scaredy Pants: The Flying Dutchman doesn't like SB dressing as him for Halloween.
I Was a Teenage Gary: Gary is left in the care of Squidward who forgets to feed him. The ending to this one is hilarious.
SB-129: Squidward gets locked into a freezer and, when he is thawed out, finds himself in the future with his two biggest nightmares worse than ever.
Karate Choppers: [w/ commentaries] Mr. Krabs orders SB to stop playing karate.
Sleepy Time: SB enters the dreams of select Bikini Bottom residents; much to their nightmares.
Suds: Patrick tries various techniques to cure SB of the suds so he will not have to go to the dreaded doctor.
Valentine's Day: When SB's valentine delivery to Patrick is delayed, Patrick completely freaks out.
The Paper: Squidward is so impressed with what SB can do with a gum wrapper he threw away, he trades everything he owns to get it back. Then he finds it is just not the same.
Disc 3:
Arrgh!: Mr. Krabs takes the board game Treasure Hunt a little too seriously.
Rock Bottom: SB gets off the bus at the wrong stop and finds himself in strange territory with terrible bus service.
Texas: One of my favorites. SB and Patrick try to convince the homesick Sandy that Bikini Bottom is her really home.
Walking Small: Plankton hopes he can recruit SB to clear the beach for the construction of his Chum Bucket Mega-Bucket.
Fools in April: Annoyed by SB's constant April tomfoolery, Squidward goes too far in getting him back.
Neptune's Spatula: Another fave of mine. Neptune is skeptical that SB pulled the mythical spatula from the ancient grease.
Hooky: When SB does not heed his boss' advice about staying away from fishing hooks, Mr. Krabs must teach him a lesson.
Mermaidman and Barnacleboy II: SB wins the Conch Signal and runs his heroes ragged with trivial tasks.
This disc includes lots of extras including (but not limited to) interviews with the actors who supply the voices, a history of the show, Violent Femmes sing Spongebob, and a Patchy the Pirate-hosted Bikini Bottom tour (curiously, Patrick's rock is not included).

Description of SpongeBob SquarePants - The Complete 1st SeasonSpongebob Squarepants revolves around the denizens of Bikini Bottom and a sweet square yellow sponge with the tongue twister name of SpongeBob SquarePants, who lives in a giant pineapple with his cookie-loving pet snail Gary. His two best friends and comrades-in-misadventures, are Patrick, a gullible starfish and a temperamental, thrill-seeking squirrel named Sandy Cheeks who lives in an underwater dome complete with a large Texas tree house and picnic area. SpongeBob is the "best fry cook ever" at the Krusty Krab, where he has to deal with his miserly boss Mr. Krabs and the grumpy cashier Squidward Tentacles. SpongeBob is always landing himself (and his friends!) in hot soup despite the best of intentions. His enthusiasm and optimism are endearing and infectious, making him one of the best-loved characters by children and adults alike.
