My second favourite season along with season 2 (season 3 is my first favourite).
I use :
-Amazing (for episodes I love/really really like)
-Good (for episodes I like/really like)
-Meh (for episodes I consider so so, or even like a lil bit)
-Bad (if there's any, for episodes I hate or do not like)

Help Wanted - Amazing (great way to start of the series)
Reef Blower - Amazing
Tea at the Treedome - Good

Top 5
1. Pizza Delivery
2. The Paper
3. F.U.N
4. Employee of the Month
5. Valentine's Day

Very good season!
 
To me season 1 did a great job establishing the characters, who they were and what they wanted to achieve. A lot more gag humor than we might see in later episodes, but also I think the episode ideas were far more simple. Certain characters were shown to mesh well (SB and Squid in say, Employee of the Month), SB and Plankton (Walking Small), SB and Patrick (Sandy's Rocket). It showed a lot of characters learning lessons and never really delved into the absolute gold and hilarity of seasons 2-3. 92/100

I'm seeing lots of hate for I Was a Teenage Gary. Why so much? I like it because it is one of those episodes you don't see as much, and shows how Squidward originally doesn't care about something that he later frantically cares for, a theme used a LOT later on. It isn't meant to be a funny episode, and i like that. Also, SB-129 is the best episode of the series IMO. And Jellyfish Jam is the second best of the season. I hated Nature Pants

Season 1 was good, but the cel animation is great but the coloring in the show was a little shady dark. I get this is Cel Animation this was way before season 2. And some episodes were meh mostly good. I still dislike Sleepy Time´s Ending though.

Overall, this season has had quite a few let-downs of segments/episodes and was somewhat dull with jokes/gags. Excellent visuals for cel animation in 1999 - 2000 though; which brings Season 1's final ranking to... 7/10 (B-)! It is now ranked Number 4 (No. 4) in my top seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants!
