This episode is the first episode of the show I remember hating, and I was EIGHT YEARS OLD when it came out. For me to actually notice something to be abysmal at such a young age, especially since I loved nearly every single movie or episode of any TV show, no matter how bad or good the quality, that someone would throw at me, that's actually saying a lot. I know many have said this before many times, including in this thread, but this is truly where the show started to go downhill. Someone, please tell me how that security system makes any sense, AT ALL?!?! Or why it took Squidward SCREAMING at Spongebob and Patrick for them to finally understand that they were acting extremely unpleasant and annoying, when in the past Spongebob had simply accepted "no" for an answer, most notably in the episode Bubble Buddy? Or, I know, why SQUIDWARD is being punished for the security system destroying the city when it should be blamed on the company that made the product? Also, why for the rest of his life? Why not until he simply repaid for all the damages his HOUSE, or actually, his "security system" that he BOUGHT FROM ANOTHER COMPANY brought upon the city? This episode is downright horrid, but the saddest part about it though, is that it's not even in my top 10 worst.
