I love and respect you, MM, but if I bumble into this it will be a fluke. I can't find a enticing hook from the generous overview and obvious affection expressed here. I'd be halfway through and hoping the otters showed up and ate the cast.
LOL! Well, I wouldn't have watched it either except the grandkids loved it. Use your own judgement. (But you should at least know about what the current pop culture is...it helps in undeerstanding how the younger folk think.)
I watch SpongeBob rather than listening to rap music. SpongeBob at least emphasizes hard work, loyalty, honesty, and kindness.
Now tell me this: have you watched any of the Veggie Tales? There is a thread on this as well.
The current favorite cartoon characters are vegetables and invertebrate sea creatures. What a world, what a world! LOL!
