Hall Of Faces

Are ye ready kids?! After a long hiatus, the Hall of Faces is back! This month, The Televerse's Kate Kulzick fills in for regular co-host Allison Shoemaker to talk about Stephen Hillenburg's iconic, long-running children's show, SpongeBob SquarePants!   Twenty years ago this month in 1999, Hillenburg (a marine science educator turned animator) created SpongeBob and the world of Bikini Bottom, a delightfully absurd undersea community filled with squabbling neighbors, fast-food burger joints and retired aquatic superheroes. Even two decades later, the show has miraculously kept its mojo, presenting kids and adults alike with a particular brand of giddy weirdness that appeals to audiences of all ages.   With that in mind, we're joined by The Takeout's Dominick Suzanne-Mayer and Paste Magazine's Jacob Oller to dive into the world of SpongeBob and figure out which character deserves a spot in our Hall of Faces. Is it the endlessly-optimistic SpongeBob himself? The greedy Mr. Krabs? The relatably cynical Squidward?
