Hello, my name is Scott. I’m 39, and I think Spongebob Squarepants is the funniest show on television.

Okay, now before you all roundly chastise me, let me defend myself. First off, I don’t get to watch much television. In the end, that’s probably a good thing, but that’s for another day. If the television is on in my home, it’s invariably being controlled by an obstinate and opinionated child. Take your pick…I have two of them. They’re both pretty much the same at this point, other than the fact that one is meaner and does all the hitting. That would be the girl.

So, as I was saying, I don’t have a whole lot of input into the choice of programs available to me, despite the fact I pay the DirecTV bill. Did I mention that the children hide the remotes? They do it so the other one can’t change the channel. All their scheming and machinations mean whatever is on is on. So, I have a small sample size from which to draw my conclusions. I’m pretty much limited to Spongebob, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zach and Cody or the two hundred and thirteenth viewing of High School Musical.

Given those choices, wouldn’t you pick Spongebob? Okay, maybe not, but the Square One is a riot. If you haven’t seen the show before, I would highly recommend a viewing. The show works on the same level as the old Looney Tunes, where kids laugh at the physical humor while the adults are entertained by the jokes flying right over their heads.

In an effort to expand your horizons, I would suggest trying to catch One Krab’s Trash, Sailor Mouth or Where’s Gary?. All three are stellar episodes.

That’s all I have today. Nothing earth shattering - just a suggestion to make you a more well-rounded human being. Enjoy!
