SpongeBob SquarePants

description

In its first few seasons, "SpongeBob Square Pants" proved the old adage that children's programs are wasted on children, commanding a loyal following among parents and especially among college students hungry for quality entertainment. The dialogue and allusions that flew right over children's heads landed squarely in adults' faces. In fact, "SpongeBob Square Pants" became so popular among America's undergraduates it aired for a while on MTV as well as Nickelodeon. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea, working diligently and enthusiastically as a fry cook at Bikini Bottom's most successful fast-food emporium. Patrick, a less-than-gifted starfish, is SpongeBob's best friend and favorite co-conspirator"”naturally the show's resident slacker. Squidward, an undersea relic of Spiro Agnew's "effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals," consistently antagonizes, undermines, and cheap-shots SpongeBob and Patrick. Of course, the series' unmistakable anthropomorphism contributes substantially to its success. "SpongeBob Square Pants" remains Nickelodeon's highest rated show, the most widely distributed MTV Network property, and one of television's most successful animated franchises.

The world knows and loves Matt Groening for his unprecedented and unparalleled work on "The Simpsons." During the Fox Network's ambitious "Animation Domination" initiative, Groening teamed with David Cohen, creating a second hit animated series, "Futurama." Groening and Cohen described their wonderwork as "retrofuturistic," an amazingly apt oxymoron for a working class sitcom set in the thirty-first century. Apparently, blue collar labor will not evolve over the next thousand years: In "Futurama," a late 20th century pizza delivery guy is accidentally cryogenically frozen for a millennium; when he thaws and returns to consciousness, he finds a job at Planet Express, an inter-planetary delivery company. Not especially concerned with science, the writers focus the stories on the workplace trials and tribulations of the three central characters"”Fry, Leela, and Bender. Their future dramas strangely resemble every working person's today dramas. Although "Futurama" has moved up and down the dial, exiting Fox for Cartoon Network, and bidding farewell to Cartoon Network for a new home on "Comedy Central," it has held onto a fiercely loyal audience, and it especially has garnered unprecedented critical acclaim. In 2010, "Futurama" set a Guiness World Record for "Current Most Critically-Acclaimed Animated Series", adding to its eight Emmys and thirteen Annies.
