    Not too bad

    "Cave Dwelling Sponge", this episode was okay. It features a prehistoric sponge being thawed out and causing havoc across Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob is mistaken for the sponge and arrested. This was just mediocre for me. There weren't that many funny moments. At least it's an original concept. **1/2

    "The Clam Whisperer", this episode was much better. It's still not great. We see a flock of clams cause havoc around SpongeBob. Clams are basically their versions of birds. There's a ton of jokes here. While not all of them work, most of them do. ***
