3.0 out of 5 stars Only 8 episodes and all are from Season 3., September 26, 2004

By	B-MAN "B" (Earth, occasionally. Until I get bored.) - See all my reviews

I started buying these "compilation" dvds of Spongebob back when the first one came out (Nautical Nonsense/Sponge Buddies)because at the time it was the only option for having him on DVD. Of course a few discs later they decide to release the First Season set. I can imagine some of you reading this have already collected all of these "compilation" discs of which this one I believe is the 11th but I have to tell you this one may be the most unecessary volume yet because not only does it contain just 8 episodes (like the previous SpongeGuard on Duty collection), but they're all from Season 3. Meaning this disc will be obsolete with the release of Season 3 on DVD. Then again, by the time Season 3 is released all of these compilations will be obsolete. Bottom line: If you're interested in the season sets, there is no reason to buy these compilations. With 11 of them so far, just about all of seasons 1-3 are out now (there's about 15 or so episodes that haven't been released yet). However if you're not buying the seasons sets for whatever reason, it's not like you're going to be disappointed with the entertainment on this one. If you only have a few of these "compilation" DVDs or none I highly recommend not buying anymore of them and instead investing in the Season sets if you like the show because they're complete. Also I'm pretty sure the cost will be more effective when bought in sets. You also cut down on the number of discs, they're organized better, and they're chronilogical. The choice is pretty simple.

Episodes included on "Sponge For Hire":

01. Krusty Krab Training Video

03. Can You Spare a Dime?

3.0 out of 5 stars I'd wait, January 15, 2005

By	Cumulonimbus Harpe "samsmylife" (Fresno, California, United States) - See all my reviews

All of the episodes on here are from Season 3. There are some pretty funny episodes on here but if I were you, I'd wait until the Season 3 set comes out on DVD instead. Why? Well, because you get more episodes for about 25$ dollars more. Once all the seasons come out on DVD, all of these 8-episode DVDs will be no longer worth buying. Season 3 is scheduled to come out in October, so we have about 10 months still to wait. Anyway, here are the episodes on this DVD:

1. "Krusty Krab Training Video"
2. "Wet Painters"
3. "Can You Spare A Dime?"
4. "New Student Starfish"
5. "Missing Identity"
6. "Mid-Life Crustacean"
7. "Kraby Land"
8. "The Camping Episode"

That's all the episodes, hope my review has helped you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic episodes,but no special features., September 6, 2004

By	Frankloon "Franklool" (Los angelas ,Calafornia) - See all my reviews

Sponge For Hire comes out November second 2004. It has 8 great episodes. The episodes are:
1: Krusty Krab training video
2: Can you spare a dime
3: Missing Identidy
4: Krabby Land
5: Wet Painters
6: New student starfish
7: Mid-life Crustacean
8: The Camping episode


Now these are all great episodes,but there are no special features on this dvd. But if you only buy these dvds for the episodes,then you should get this dvd.

This dvd deserves four stars.
