SpongeBob - "Texas"

Now, let's review an episode that was later in the first season of SpongeBob, this episode is of course, Texas. No, not the state of this country, I'm talking the episode in general.

The episode is that Sandy gets homesick from being away from Texas after a ocean wave destroyed her Texas shaped sandcastle. So, after she sings about how she misses Texas, Patrick and SpongeBob come up with a plan to try to have Sandy stay in Bikini Bottom. But it doesn't help that when Sandy gets on the bus and leaves for Texas, Patrick says out loud "What's so great about dumb old Texas?" and Sandy overhears this and comes back really ticked off about how he said that. Will they handle this problem, easily? Watch to find out!
Let's now go for the pros and cons on this episode. First off, I like the song that she sings called "Texas," with music composed by Junior Brown and lyrics by current SpongeBob crew members Vincent Waller and Sherm Cohen. The one thing is I never liked is that Patrick and SpongeBob make fun of Texas. You should never insult Texas in any shape or form. It also doesn't help that when they run off for the Krusty Krab, Sandy gives chase and ropes away Patrick and crashes into an explosion. And just when SpongeBob reached the door to the Krusty Krab, it almost looked like he was about to get torn apart by Sandy. Why doesn't he just fight back? Or for that matter, why not this guy?

Yeah, have the Beast come in, save SpongeBob by fighting Sandy like he did with the Killer Wolves from Beauty and the Beast, but also tell SpongeBob, if you haven't made fun of Texas, this wouldn't have happened. But that's just me.

So, bottom line, this episode is okay, it's just not my kind of episode, it's just another typical Sean Dempsey animation directed episode that has crying in it. Maybe it's just me but Sean Dempsey might have a fetish for crying or something.

This is just a weak, weak, episode, with SpongeBob having no brutal strength to fight back at Sandy just because he made fun of Texas, and the fact that there was nobody to save him.

Again, this is all my opinion. If you don't agree with me, that's totally fine. At least the episode that came along with this, "Walking Small" was better.
