Reef Blower (7-24-99)- New to this release As you can see, only 14 of the 40 episodes are newly available in this first-season set.

For the benefit of those who (like me) have already collected some or all of the previously released "theme" sets, I've included information about which discs some of these shorts have already appeared on. The DVD set presents Season 1's episodes in the following order. I was a little aggravated by the loooong animated menus that introduce all the characters, on by one, but it's really that missing episode that has me upset.

Where is it? This is perhaps the only disappointment of the set. This set contains 40 episodes but is-annoyingly-missing the show's first (pilot) episode Help Wanted, in which SpongeBob lands his job at the Krusty Krab. Rounding out the gang is Sandy, the aforementioned squirrel, who hails from Texas but has for some reason decided to join the crazy sea dwellers in the town of Bikini Bottom.

Krabs (Clancy Brown), money-grubbing crab and owner of the restaurant where SpongeBob and Squidward work. There's also SpongeBob's best buddy Patrick, an slothful starfish, and the feisty Squidward, the cranky six-tentacled octopus who wants only to play his clarinet but is foiled at every turn by the well-intentioned but blissfully unaware SpongeBob and Patrick. SpongeBob is hopelessly square in more ways than one, always fantastically cheerful and juvenile and prone to misadventure. It's a seascape in which characters can draw breath, light fires, and even befriend a squirrel in a wetsuit. SpongeBob SquarePants follows the nonsensical adventures of a certain square sponge as he and his friends frolic under the sea. But if you're even a casual fan of SpongeBob, you're going to have to pick up this set, because it contains some truly hilarious never-before-seen-on-disc episodes, as well as a couple of fantastic extras. That does take a little of the joy away from this new season set, and indeed, it might provoke a little justifiable anger toward Paramount. As you'll see below, only about a third of the episodes contained herein are new to DVD.

So, Paramount has finally decided to release SpongeBob SquarePants in season sets! Hallelujah! But what are we collectors to do with the seven "theme" discs that Paramount has already released? It's a conundrum.
