Godd for kids of any age! Positive lessons in the end!
I have watched nearly every episode with my children and have found a prominent, positive message in nearly all of them. I would suspect parents who have not really sat with their children to watch might hear bits and peices and pass judgement, but if you see it through and actually take the time to sit with your children to explain things they might be unsure of, it is a perfect opportunity to talk with them heart to heart about real issues that they are or will deal with...Reality!Parents the real world is not like "Leave it to Beaver" and this show helps kids realize that bad things can happen including name calling and fighting etc. and that there are ways to deal with it. my sons have learned many positive words and lessons well beyond his years. Pay attention and you will see... compared to many other shows it is one of the best!

Spoungebob is a great cartoon! All 3 of my kids- ages 4,6, ans 8 love this show! I enjoy watching it myself. It is a positive, happy, educational cartoon and it brings everyones spirits up. Spoungebob also has alot of comedy that keeps my kids laughing through the entire episode. I only wish they would have more air time for this cartoon! I highly recommend it.

Humor to hide just plain meanness.
It was originally made for MTV! It's sad how desensitized WE parents can be. Many kids feel unsafe due to lack of boundaries or guidance. I prefer the cartoons where the bad guy is the bad guy and evil is portrayed as evil. This show may have a mean guy which is a bad guy but it's not super obvious and is confusing. Especially to young kids. There is just so much more to learn and do in the world and spongebob is not my teacher of choice.

This is not apropriate for kids 8-
You may think I am crazy saying that kids 8- shouldn't see this but if you watch many episodes you will notice many "sexually concentrated" things they say. Yet this can be funny there are some rather "gruesome" scenes and or "violent for kids" scenes. Yet your kids may not understand the things they say some things are rather very obvious. I warn parents about letting kids watch this...

Wouldn't recommend it to kids under 15
I love this car toon but now that I am a mother of two and the more I watch it the more I dont want my kids to watch it. I dont like the fact that the humor is so stupi dat times, there alot of butts showed, language, and in some episodes there are homoseuxal scenes. For example when Patrick and Spongebob find a clam thing and raise it Spongebob acts like the wife and Patrick acts like the husband... It also shows that fathers aren't always a good dad and its okay... thats not the message I want my kids to learn.

Stay away if you're young and/or impressionable
Not appropriate for children under 8 years old. Uses words like stupid, idiot, etc. There is constant disdain between the characters, and simple things like eating too much turn into the body actually blowing up into pieces, with a head attached to tubes by itself in the ambulance, and the legs in a big bowl.

Gets Annoying
The little kids will love this show to a point where you have to leave the house to get some peace and quiet. However anyone around fourteen and up, (as long as they have matured) will find this show just plain annoying.

Watch sparingly, a good "downtime" cartoon
Spongebob is definitely one of those cartoons that I
would equate with 'downtime' for a child. I think it is a fine silly and funny cartoon for the lighter moments in between school, homework, activities and sports. Kids are incredibly scheduled these days and this cartoon can server as a fun "off " time. I would certainly tune in sparingly as there are other, far more educational choices, but again Spongebob has it's place.

Beware—Disturbing Content.
Now look, I'm a pretty accepting mom when it comes to media—but I was shocked to see this awful show was for kids. When I first saw Spongebob, I was sure it was at least TV-14. I couldn't believe it was TV-Y7! The characters use explicit word like "St*pid," "id*ot," "m*ron" and many others. It is also a very violent show, characters get punched and kicked and tormented in countless ways. This is a very disturbing show. I once overheard a character say a few bad words while my 11 year old was watching Spongebob, promptly walked over to the TV, and turned it off. I don't want my children exposed to that sort of behavior, and I don't think you do either, so don't let your kids watch Spongebob.

Funny for the whole family
We absolutely adore this show! It's the only cartoon on tv that our whole family can sit down and enjoy together. It's funny, and fortunately my daughter knows that "stupid" and other such words that are used in the show are not words that are OK for her to use. I love that Spongebob has such a good heart and is too innocent and trusting to think that anyone would be out to do him harm. My favorite example of this is when Mr Krabs tries to insult Spongebob by saying a hat he's wearing makes him look like a girl. Spongebob's response was a huge, eye batting grin and says "am I a PRETTY girl?" Hilarious!

Not educational! Just something to shake your head and laugh at. Maybe ok for teens but NOT for younger kids, toddlers and babies
It's not the worst show out there but it's definitely not something you want to put in front of your newborn or toddler. The first 5 years of a kids life should be filled with things that will shape their lives in a positive way. Spongebob is just something to watch when you want to laugh regardless of the fact that the subject matter may be inappropriate for kids.

Seriously????
Spongebob is a show thats fine for anyone to watch. If your worried about the type of humor or the language or brutality sorry to bring you to reality but your kids are gonna hear it alot of places other then tv. Ive heard worse things said in school. We have teachers and pastors molesting kids other kids fighting with other kids and kids seeing things thier parents do that u dont think they see and your worried about a cartoon?? Thats ridiculous not to mention from experience I know the more you shelter your kids when their younger the more they are going to be curious and rebel later. Its a cartoon if they like it and it makes them laugh let them watch it if they do something because of it then explain to them whats right and wrong were their parents thats what were here for. I dont rely on a cartoon to teach my kids right and wrong and if you do then u are one lazy parent.
