I love Spongebob, so does my four year old. My sisters stare at me like I am crazy when they catch me laughing at it. Sometimes I am so used to watching cartoons that I will have them on and not even notice that my son is not around. Don't get me wrong though my son enjoys other educational shows like Blue, Caliou and Sesame Street but the little yellow guy is something we enjoy together.... 
I babysit my little cousins (and two of my own) so I have a total of five kids under five during the day. They all LOVE the show! They sing and dance along with the entire show it's hilarious. I kind of enjoy it too, lol. I think I like the fact that the songs have a good beat so even if they are corny they get your toes tapping, lmao!
My girls are 2 and 3 and they're watching it as I type this. I cannot believe how mesmerized they are by it! And I had to laugh because Biz Markee was just beat boxing on the show right now!!!
I thought the commercial looked horrible too. I let my DD watch it. It is like a bad 80's trip. But she loves it. She dances with them. Whatever. My mom couldn't understand the Smurfs or Fraggle Rock! LOL
It's just the start of shows we won't understand.
My son hasn't watched it.
He mostly watches Noggin and The Disney Channel.
He's learned quite a bit in my opinion.
He's three and just today he told me that he likes Meteors! Go figure!!!
He even showed me one---a broken piece of concrete. HA!
He has a great vocabulary. He doesn't talk very plain, but he can certainly carry on a conversation.
*There's a party in my tummy... so yummy, so yummy!*
Sorry, got sidetracked there. Hehehe. If you've watched Yo Gabba Gabba, you'll get that joke.
Anyway, the show is terrible. There are a few fun things on it, but I have some serious issues with it.
First of all, when it comes on, I feel like DJ Lance Rock (what a joke of a name for this nerd) is actually trying to molest my child through the TV. I'm sorry, I am not trying to get anyone's hackles up, I am not syaing he IS like that, I am just saying that he gives me the MOST CREEPY child molester vibe. Part of it is his creepy bad-cheerleader dance that he does where he kicks up his leg and claps his hands under his leg, but his timing is so bad that he ends up almost tripping himslef, and then spins around with his arms out in the worst dance I've ever seen. It's just *not right*.
Another issue I have is that one of the characters looks like a giant... well... I don't want to offend anyone by saying it... buy a giant *woman's pleasure giver*. And I don't mean 'chocolate bar'.
And the songs are so bad. They are trying to teach very nice lessons, but the lyrics are so bad. (Except the party in my tummy song. I can't get that Godforsaken thing out of my head!!!) Fortunately they are writing them for children, so they have less descerning tastes.
Wow, sorry, I bet you didn't expect this enormous tirade... but this show is just plain bad. I am praying it won't last more than one season because it interrupts our precious Dora, Diego, Wonder Pets, and Spongebob! Yes, we have the TV on for noise during the day while we play, then occasionally stop to watch a few minutes if it's interesting. But, he doesn't stare at it all day slack-jawed!
My 2.5 yr old loves it, but my 4.5 yr old hates it. I certainly hate it!
How about the song "Don't bite your friends, don't bite your friends." It gave my son the idea to bite his friend.
My 20 month old watched the show once and I thought I'd go nuts just sitting there. It was terrible! The 70's retro thing just doesn't do it for me and the guy is just weird!
I can't stand the doodlebops, barney or teletubbies either. I usually have the TV on all day long just for noise in the background and my son will watch some things but he's usually too busy getting into things he knows he shouldn't.
He loves Curious George and Sesame Street so we watch PBS a lot. And he usually watches the Curious George movie a few times a week.
I don't know about it helping his vocabulary since he doesn't try to talk much. Like I said, he's more interested in getting into stuff and driving me nuts! 
I babysit my 16mo. old grandson every weekend, so the TV is on Noggin or Nick the entire day. No, but hell no to Yo Gabba Gabba, The Wiggles, and The Doodlebops. He is a big SpongeBob fan - would watch it when he wasn't even big enough to sit up - in the bouncy seat in front of the TV. He loves Jack's Big Music Show, Diego, Dora, Franklin, Little Bear, Backyardigans, The Wonder Pets - and of course, if those fail to entertain him at some point, he just goes over to the DVD shelf and hands me a Disney movie - we won't go into how many times I've had to watch Cars in one day
