SpongeBob SquarePants - Deep Sea Sillies [VHS]
This quintet of 11-minute episodes will not edify, but it will  entertain, as the enduring popularity of this Nickelodeon offering attests. In  an undersea version of "Green Eggs and Ham," the persistent boy sponge discovers  Squidward has never tasted a krabby patty and hounds him until an addiction is  born. The patties are featured again in the final episode when restaurant owner  Krabs insists on trying to sell a spoiled sandwich. Since no one will bite,  Krabs does, leading to a near-death experience. In between, the tenacious sponge  and his seastar sidekick Patrick lure aging superheroes Mermaid Man and Barnacle  Boy (guest-voiced by Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway) out of retirement to  vanquish a maniac. In the remaining two stories, the "little square dude" has  fun with a gum wrapper and later nearly suffocates in the air-filled home of  Sandy the squirrel. Best for ages 4-12, but nothing more objectionable than  vomit humor for younger siblings.--Kimberly Heinrichs
