Spongebob SquarePants TV series
SpongeBob SquarePants show is one of the most popular animated TV series broadcast not only in the United States but around the world as well. The man who invented the cartoon characters and started producing the series through his own company, The United Plankton Pictures, was Stephen Hillenburn, a former marine biologist with a vivid imagination. The show can be watched on Nicktoons Network, and it has been often reviewed as one of the greatest television shows in history, on several occasions. The first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants show was launched on May 1, 1999, and several episodes followed immediately that year with the series gaining more and more in popularity and audience ratings.
The episodes in SpongeBob SquarePants show lack continuity, which makes it perfect for anyone to watch it without having to refer back to previous contexts and events. Although many characters suffer apparently irreparable accidents, they always get back to normal. For instance, the Krusty Krab, the main restaurant in Bikini Bottom, the setting of the story, is destroyed on several occasions, and it seems like every time it is beyond repair. Lots of these apparently horrific events occur because one of SpongeBob's mishaps. The great part of this cartoon series is that adults and children can watch it alike: some subtleties and ironies will often escape the understanding of children but will surely entertain older watchers.
One of the elements that differentiates SpongeBob SquarePants show from other similar productions of the Nickelodeon network is the contribution of lots of independent musicians to the soundtrack of the series. Wilco, Twisted Sister, The Flaming Lips are just a few names here, but a presence like that of David Bowie will not pass unnoticed, and this was obvious in the Atlantis SquarePantis episode of 2007. This episode registered the largest audience level in the entire history of the SpongeBob SquarePants show. Then, one further reflection of the series into the music world was at the initiative of Metallica to release t-shirts featuring the group members playing live with the characters of SpongeBob and Patrick.
The popularity of the show increased to such an extent that MTV started broadcasting it, this time addressing the teenage audience-group category. Certain lines from the series became part of slang, as it is the case with the famous quote from Mid-Life Crustacean: It's gonna rock! Rock radio stations took over the quote and soon lots of teenagers would use it. SpongeBob SquarePants show has definitely made history, and it can surely make one laugh heartily on any episode.

SpongeBob Collapse game
A game designed on an animation series, SpongeBob Collapse does not follow the peculiarity of the cartoon ; in some people's opinion it is a success, while in others it is a big disappointment with very little things in common with the cartoon. SpongeBob Collapse has the graphics and the artwork of the animation but the features of a puzzler. The game provides an average kind of entertainment that emphasizes a medium strategy level with lots of mouse clicks. For some players, the click frenzy is too high after you progress with the game a little bit to even make it worth playing.
You'll start SpongeBob Collapse from some colored rows of blocks set against an underwater animation background. Rows are added from time to time, and the player has to eliminate as many color groupings as possible by clicking on them. The ounce of strategy in the game consist in the attempt to make as large groups of mono-colored blocks as possible so that they can be easily eliminated. Whenever blocks vanish, a score bonus will be granted to you. The more points you accumulate, the higher the speed of the blocks combined with a change o color and structure.
The main disadvantage of SpongeBob Collapse results from the high speed levels of the game that don't allow one to stick to strategies any more. The click succession will get rather mindless, and the chances for the blocks to reach the top of the screen increase, thus getting you closer to the end of the game. The main reproach here is that SpongeBob Collapse brings no incentive at all. Therefore, it is advisable to try the one hour demo variant of the game before you pay for the download.
Presently, SpongeBob Collapse can be accessed with many web sites, including Yahoo! and advertisings will often convince you that the game brings great entertainment; however, make sure to try the demo before you pass any judgment on the game features. Real cartoon fans will be the first to look into the details to see how much there is from the real SpongeBob SquarePants show preserved in the structure. SpongeBob Collapse brings most of the rewards to small children who'll learn how to focus and perform tasks better.
