So, yeah. I decided to abandon my revised top 100 for this. My BIGGEST list project.
So you might be wondering, "What so great about it? It's just another list made by the Roadie." Well, in other lists, What you see is what you get. The list maker will just post his choices with a review. In this list :
1. I will review and rate EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. From Help Wanted to Plankton's Pet. Which is currently the series' last episode. When a new episode arrives I will just review it and slip it in the list if it makes the the cut. One of the best thing about this list is that it will change if a new episode arrived.
2. After I rate the first 2 episodes, I will start building the list. The more episode I review, the bigger the list gets. And when it gets to 20, the list will stop growing and I will simply eliminate episodes if there is a new one with better ratings. I will update the list in every post. This list will not stop developing, changing and switching until the end of either; SpongeBob or my tenure in this website.
So you see, the reason why I call it "The Interactive Top 20" is because you guys (whoever cared) can scout the project while it grows rather than just expecting the finish product.
I will also look forward to YOUR opinions. And if you can elaborate your arguments on why an episode should or shouldn't be in the top 50, I might change my rating on the said episode (BUT ONLY IF I AGREE WITH YOUR ARGUMENT). So hopefully this interactive list can everyone happy and make everyone feel like they're a part of it.
I will also hope that with my new rating system I can produce a more accurate list. Usually I rate an episode as an entity of the show, causing many good post-movie episodes to be in a lower ranking because I rate it along the lines of pre-movie episodes.
Now, I rate episodes by each respective seasons. Episodes like Krabs a La Mode and Goo Goo Gas now has a chance to be a top 10 contender, since they're excellent episodes coming out of a horrid season.
I will also have a new style of reviewing. Usually I would barf out 8 paragraphs. Now, I'm just going to place the best points in hopes that you will read it all instead of just skimming, like I suspect you would.
Now I know this whole thing might perplex some members because it's a whole new way of listing episodes. Hopefully with the more episode I review, the list will get bigger and you'll soon understand.
P.S. Episodes under 3 minutes are considered as "shorts" and will not be classified as an episode. Therefore it will not have the rights to be reviewed.
Let's begin
EDIT : I changed the grading system to make it fair for post-movie episodes. I put them on lower standards.
Lets start this inventive list with episode 1a. Help Wanted. It's the episode where SpongeBob lands his mark on the Krusty Krab (and TV history) For a SpongeBob episode, this was predictable and basic. But again, this is the pilot episode. It's job is to give the audince a look on what will come. What this episode has is awkward pacing, absurd characters and a weird cheery Tiny Tim montage. I can't say it has a good or not premise since this is the first episode, but the main character landing a job for the first episode is rather a great start to a series. It finds versatility for years to come.
But most importantly, it hooked the audience with a main character that is enticing and refreshing as ever. A sponge kid who is always freakishly (in a good way) happy and cheerful. A refreshing tone for a network that showed "Ren and Stimpy" a couple of years before. So it's not a good episode, but it's an excellent starting point.

As if the audience haven't had enough of weird animals plotted as characters in this series, in came Sandra Cheeks. Is she a bird? No. Is she a plane? No. It's Sandy ... the squirrel. I have to say, Sandy's invention is a blockbuster prove at how brilliant and creative the old writers could be. And they pulled off an excellent shot at making an episode that ultimately showed issues on her making new friends under the sea.
Tea At The Treedome was very cleverly written. It is mind-blowingly entertaining to see SpongeBob dehydrating while trying to impress Sandy by doing an act that is solely invented and suggested by his dumb friend Patrick. TatT is proving to be the episode that attracts more viewers simply because it's clever and very funny. More importantly, it is a benchmark for all other episodes
Moment of the episode : SpongeBob and the water vase (I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEED IIIIIITTT!!!)
Quote of the episode : "You're about as ugly as homemade soup!" -Sandy
