Nov 29, 2018 | Full Review… Madeline Kaplan Slate Top Critic Like 'Pee-Wee's Playhouse, SpongeBob joyfully dances on the fine line between childhood and adulthood, guilelessness and camp, the warped and the sweet. Sep 24, 2018 | Full Review… Joyce Millman New York Times Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (2) Audience Reviews for SpongeBob SquarePants: Season 3 Jan 12, 2019 Not as good as the first two seasons, SpongeBob SquarePants nevertheless rises on the strength of Tom Kenny's easily recognizable voice acting, beautiful animation and all-ages appeal with its sense of humour. It helps that it was originally going to be adult animation. Shame this was the last season in which Hillenburg was involved. Damn. Jacob B Oct 24, 2018 Still has charm, and some great episodes, too. Etahi S Mar 16, 2018 After a really good first season and an amazing second season, SpongeBob was supposed to conclude with its best season yet. This is the season I grew up watching, and I still believe that its the funniest season to this day, which is important since this is a comedy show.
