Yes, I am a full grown man who loves the show “SpongeBob Squarepants”. I have to admit, a few years ago I was very skeptical and never had any bit of interest of ever catching the show. But something very important happened within the last couple years. My youngest daughter was born.
If you are a parent, I’m sure you know of the pain of sitting through some of the child programming on today. My Wife and I try to keep “the Tube” on very very little. But when we do choose to turn on the tv during daytime hours, it is usually to let my youngest daughter catch one of her shows. Maybe its just me, but kids shows today just don’t match up at all to what my generation had. Perhaps it has been the outcome of too much psychology, censorship, and political correctness (walking on eggs) applied towards television programming. I don’t know, maybe it is the same today as it was then and I am now just too old for it.
Educational programming is important! But….I think creative programming has to play a huge role too. We still occasionally throw on the Disney Channel for some of their educational programming or throw in a Baby Einstein DVD. But have you ever watched any of this? It may be making my child smarter (so they claim), but I think it is having a reverse effect on me. There are some programs that make watching paint dry look like an epic! I think SpongeBob falls more into the creative side and I can tell you, both my Daughter and I are both satisfied at the end of one of his episodes! (Only just wanting more of course!)
Of course that is the other part that makes SpongeBob more than just a show to me. The connection my Daughter and I have with it. We both laugh and giggle, point and smile. It is that connection that we get to share that I cherish and makes the SpongeBob show so important to me. Its “our” show.
So I am a grown man and I will happily admit that I love SpongeBob Squarepants! Do YOU?

It’s quite okay to like the show even though you’re an adult. I have many friends who watch it even though I sometimes wonder what they get out of it…
