Episodes and descriptions from the back of the disc box:

1. Dunces & Dragons (2-Part Episode): A jousting accident sends Spongebob and Patrick back in time where they embark on a quest to restore peace to a kingdom in peril.

2. Selling Out: It's early retirement for Mr. Krabs when he sells The Krusty Krab to a conglomerate that plans to turn it into a big corporate chain.

3. Funny Pants: Because of a nasty trick by Squidward, Spongebob loses the ability to laugh.

4. Mermaidman & Barnacleboy VI--The Motion Picture: Spongebob and Patrick decide to make their own movie starring retired superheroes Mermaidman and Barnacleboy.

5. Enemy-in-Law: Mama Krabs is dating again, and things look serious. Her new boyfriend? Plankton.

6. Patrick SmartPants: During a day of jellyfishing, Patrick gets conked on the head. When he comes to, he's suddenly brilliant.

This from the Nick.com site: "Come hither and embark on this two-part journey back to Medieval Bikini Bottom, to the land of fair maidens, evil knights, jousting matches, fire-breathing jellyfish and daring rescues. Join Sir SpongeBob and Patrick as they battle the evil Plankton while trying to rescue Princess Pearl from his evil clutches. Thou art in for an exciting ride. The Lost in Time DVD also includes 5 additional episodes."

I love Spongebob, I really do. But this right here is an awful mockery of what the witty well-animated series once was. Although the sponge lives underwater, he has jumped the shark.

1. Dunces & Dragons-Although this episode has some action, everything is abrupt. There is no explanation of how Spongebob and Patrick go back in time, and the ending (I won't give it away, but there's not much to give) is also very quick. Nothing really funny happens (at least, in comparison to the rest of the series).

2. Selling Out: Amusing, but the whole thing is pretty rushed.

3. Funny Pants: Once again, really rushed. No biting humor or hilarious jokes to be found.

4. Mermaidman & Barnacleboy VI: Although a wee bit funny, this episode can only pass as "cute." Squidward is especially out of character, acting spoiled and whiny as opposed to grumpy and sarcastic.

5. Enemy-in-Law: What did they do to Mama Krabs's voice? It was funny when she sounded just like Mr. Krabs, but now she actually sounds MOTHERLY?! I suppose they did need to make her more tender in this episode. I'm getting pretty sick of Plankton. He was better when he didn't appear in every other show.

6. Patrick SmartPants: This is probably the best episode (and why I even bothered to give this two stars). Some lines and sight gags are actually funny here, and the "dumb character becomes smart" theme doesn't come off as cliche.

No, I'm not a whiny critic, but if you look back on the older episodes of Spongebob (everything before season 4) you'll know what I'm talking about.

You get six episodes for $13.00. It used to be ten per DVD. Then it was eight. Now you pay the same amount for six that you used to pay for ten. Are you ready kids? Soon you will charged $13.00 for four episodes. No thanks Nick.

I definitely know a lot of good into what makes a great cartoon today, and sadly there really hasn't been all that many shows that still have proven what they have now, they won't have for eras to come. That hasn't been been the case for Spongebob Squarepants. Since his debut in 1999 on Nickelodeon, it has been a remarkable testament to how humor and laughter can be fun for all ages. I also am glad there are also some great new episodes flying around on the channel too. It got quite sad that there just were too few at one time, and now with a little "Twainism", there is much more than meets the Sponge.

Spongbob Squarepants: Lost In Time, is a small but hilarious assortment of the episodes that made Spongebob still show that he still has what it takes for the kids. This DVD contains some great cartoons and a whole lot of laughter too. The episodes here are just jam-packed with fun including Dunces & Dragons, a spoof on A Connecicut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, which Spongebob & Patrick go at each other in a jousting match, and the next minute, they find themselves in medevil times. This was definitely one of the funniest episodes I've ever watched in the shows history. Still, there are also some other great momentos here including Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy VI, where Spongebob's idols get shunned from a movie being made without the real heroes, so Spongebob & crew makeup their own movie of mayhem, and Patrick Smartypants, where a simple accident while jellyfishing causes Patrick to lose his memory and friends while he becomes more intelligent.

All in all, these episodes of Spongebob Squarepants are just incredibly funny. I loved watching these shorts on Nickelodeon, and they just definitely delivered. I really hope there are some more new editions to the take soon. Spongebob Sqaurepants: Lost In Time is a great DVD for kids and parents of all ages.

Mermaidman and BarnacleBoy The Motion Picture 5/10 BORING!

Enemy In Law 8/10 Very Funny

Patrick Smartpants 9/10 Funny! Best on DVD!

Spongebob Squarepants is one of the best tv shows on Nickelodeon today. This dvd proves the point yet again with 'Lost In Time'

Go Spongebob!!

I'm really upset. The Excutive Producer sucks! He's changed everything! The graphics, the story, speaking of the story, not one new episode has had a GOOD, FUNNY story. The only episode that's worth watching is the crane machine one, just because it has an actulal story in it. Overall, just stick with Stephen Hillenberg's episodes, the 1st,2nd and 3rd Complete episodes, there the only episodes worth watching. It's so sad that Hillenburg had to retire, he could have made a good 4th Season. Too bad he's gone. Well, time to watch some other cartoon.

P.S Plnakton's eyebrow is different, stupid EP
