Missing Episode?

[Philippe Cordier]

Just a very quick question -- I seemed to be missing one or two episodes between Tuesday and Wednesday.  I don't know if I was a day behind in my viewing without realizing it and taped over one day's eps, or what? The last I knew Pansy Faye had run over to Petofi's place to steal his necktie and he grabbed her wrists.

The next day I start playing that day's tapings, and Barnabas was poking throught the smoldering ruins of the artist studio ...

What happened?  Did I goof?!?

You must've pulled the old I-taped-Spongebob-Squarepants-instead-of-Dark-Shadows whoopsie, Vlad.  You did miss some in there.  Petofi tried to use Miss Faye as a ransom to get Quentin to come over, but Quentin had already left in search of Amanda, so Barnabas went to her rescue, at which Petofi decided to use Barnabas' body to go to the future, but just as it was about to happen, ol' Garth came in, full of the beans and slapping that chain around, putting the Count on trial (Pansy and Barnabas served as witnesses and jury).  Garth had them leave and then decided to execute Petofi by setting the place on fire.

Gerard, too funny only because it is true.  Tuesday morning I had  to leave early to go to a work related training.  We had an ice storm the night before and low and behold their is a two hour delay.  My son was up and knew not to touch the TV in the family room and trotted right down to the rec room.  I left leaving everything set up.

Got home watched the first episode than low and behold that wonder of wonders Spongebob-Squarepants appears.  Let's just say I was a good Mom and didn't flip out on the daughter for messing with my tape.

Other names for Spongebob in my house is Spongebob-sh**pants or that stinky cheese guy.

Vlad, don't forget to check out the appropriate Robservations for all the details!!

Even though you kept your cool, Birdie, I'll bet you still felt like Squidward!

I've just realized that my life is forever destined to be incomplete.

I have never heard of, or seen, the antics of the Creature known as Spongebob Squarepants.

However, my Dad's name is Bob, and although he is a good humored chap, I do not think he would appreciate this program as described.

LOL!

Oh Gothick, you'd love Spongebob!  He's a lovable chap, and the humorous stories revolve around his innocence.  And if it makes you feel any better, his pet snail is named Gary.

There are so many kids' shows that very nearly inspire me to commit violence (a certain purple dinosaur comes to mind), but this is one that adults can appreciate.

"Spongebob" has quite the following at my daughter's high school.  You can get his T-shirts at a store called Hot Topic....which carries an odd combination of retro kid show items (she HAD to have "Fraggles"!) and Goth gear.

College daughter had to get a Spongebob pillow to go with her My Little Kitty stuff for dorm room. What a store that Hot Topic is! Went in once with daughter and female clerk had pink Mohawk, piercings EVERYWHERE  and dressed in requisite black. I tried to act normal but couldn't stop staring.

I'm already massing quite a collection of Spongebob Squarepants stuff (including men's boxer underwear), and hopefully down the road that stuff will really go for some bucks on e-bay.

What I love about the cartoon is that it harkens back to the classic Warner Bros. animations of the 40's and 50's (Bugs; Daffy; Elmer; Porky; etc.) with a great deal of subtle and not-so-subtle "adult" humor (although since kids, and I mean elementary age, are more "sophisticated" these days, they're probably picking up a great deal of it).  One scene that had me on the floor was when Sandy the Squirrel was going crazy trying to find Spongebob, thinking he had vanished by some dastardly method when all he was doing was trying to hide from her.  She's running from house to house, pulling them off their foundations and looking inside, and as she does so to one, there's an adult (a fish, of course) male inside, dressed up like a kid sitting on a tricycle, quite obviously indulging in some sort of secretive fetish.  Embarrassed at being caught, he stammers:  "Um....I can explain this."  I thought I was gonna die.

Gerard (Who remembers when one of the classic Warner Bros. '40's cartoons made reference to "The Bird", and it was THAT bird, and somehow got away with it.)

All that in one episode!?!  At least that's what I figure I must have missed.

Thanks everyone for responding (though the rather "off-topic" "side discussion" went over my head ...).  I realize I could have just gone into Robservations and tried to straighten things out, but I thought I had also read recently in some thread that some episodes were being shown out of order and thought that might have been the problem.  However, it must have been my gaffe.
