I've been watching Spongebob for years.  My friends use to make fun of me in grad school because they thought an intellectual person, such as myself, would be watching the history channel or something... nope, I loved Spongebob.  I became a mom 3 years ago and Spongebob saved my sanity.  It was the first show I could get my daughter to sit down and watch for more than 2 minutes at a time - allowing me time to do things like shower and brush my teeth.  We don't watch much TV, but I'm glad that there's at least one show we can agree on.
