I don't have cable, but I keep seeing this Spongebob dude everywhere. I think he's rather ugly lol. So what is the cartoon about and why is it so popular?

FloppsyLadySally89, hey, I'm 18 and I still watch cartoons (ok so maybe 99% of this is the Simpsons which isn't really one...but if I see real cartoons on tv, sometimes I will watch them). Sometimes it's fun to watch cartoons, who cares what age you are. I wish Animaniacs was still on my TV!!
