Toy Store of Doom review

I've been away from the TV for a while, and am ashamed to admit that I've missed most of The Bob Squad --- that is, the week of new episodes.

I don't have time to write an entire review right now, but I just got to see two of the new episodes. The first one (whose name escapes me) had SpongeBob trying to find home for a group of baby worms. It was, to be honest, a bit boring. Most of the humor was derived from the worms barfing on folks, and the mom did not look like a SpongeBob worm at all.

The second episode, Toy Store of Doom, was awesome. The story goes like this: SpongeBob and Patrick have grown bored of all their toys, but a new toy store called The Toy Barrel opens up nearby. They have the time of their lives in there, and don't want to leave at closing. They hide in dollhouses and wait until everyone's gone, and then they have the entire store to themselves.

But all isn't fun and games. Remember when you were seven, and whenever the lights went out your Power Rangers action figure--- you swear--- it turned into a werewolf? And mom said you were just seeing things in the dark? You're not the only one.

The rest of the episode covers their melodramatic attempts to "stop" the toys, whom they believe are out to get them.

Some of the dialogue fell a little flat, though. A few jokes seemed to come out of nowhere, but overall the humor was strong and effective. At times, SpongeBob seems a bit less mature than he should be, but I'm not quite sure that's saying much.

This episode is rather nostalgic to me, because I remember the thrill of a new toy store very, very well. It has its weak points, but it's a good watch. You won't regret it, and if you do, what's 11 minutes of your life?

"Well, Patrick, it was nice knowing you."
"I know; I'm an interesting person."
