While Patrick is a great character (most of the time), he's best in small doses, as he's a comedy relief. Too much of those types of characters can get frustrating to watch. That's why Planet Sheen failed and why Cars 2 was critically panned.

He's meant to be a sidekick to SpongeBob, so he can't really support a show by himself. I find the show rather uninteresting and slow.

There are some positives to the show though. I like the designs of Cecil and Bunny - much more unique and fun than Herb and Margie from "I'm With Stupid" -- who I often forget even exist. And the animation is still great. Besides, it's only in Patrick's imagination, so none of this is canon.

I think I'll just stick with the main SpongeBob show. The least I can say is this is miles better than Kamp Koral.

This is a show about Patrick Star producing a show. Animation is good but thats about as much good as I can say about it. Little to no actual comedy. Slapstick antics are over-the-top and at an all time high even for a show starring Patrick. Spongebob makes an appearance in episode 2 along with Squidward so its not even a true standalone piece for Spongebob's sidekick. Giving this 3 stars is very very generous.

I'm probably not the target audience for this show, but I watched Spongebob growing up so I believe I can give some good perspective. I got about 15 minutes into the first episode before my brain couldn't handle it anymore, it takes variety show wacky zaniness to a level that it really shouldn't. To start, there was no tangible plot to this episode beyond "I'm hungry." This show has no soul and no creativity, the humor and bits are what I can best surmise as "this is what science and experts have told us kids enjoy, therefore we will load a 20 minute episode with as much of this as we possibly can." The animation is clean except for the editing, transitions, and facial features and reactions. They animate funny faces onto the characters every 30 seconds or so, enough so that it was detracting from any dialogue I was attempting to listen to. It is objectively a bad show, I absolutely do not recommend watching it.

Well, where to start? I won't give it a 1 because they actually did make a show with decent production quality, but it can't get to a 3 because it just isn't good. Personally, I would have turned it off, but I wanted to actually give it a chance to not just be a negative Nancy.

This show has little to nothing to do with the original world of Patrick Star hanging with Sponge Bob etc. This isn't even really about Patrick in the years before he and Sponge Bob are neighbors, its about Patrick Star doing a TV show from his parents house with a sister we have never hear about and parents we have never seen.

Sponge Bob is in the 2nd episode, but it doesn't flow at all with what we know and love about Sponge Bob & Patrick. Its kinda about Patrick's 'show' following him & Sponge Bob getting a job and it is simply NOT FUNNY.

Personally, if you wanna laugh, simply watch old episodes of Sponge Bob and get a real laugh, you will thank me saving you the pain of this show. Also, I no longer watch any new episodes of Sponge Bob, as they have destroyed the show the last 3-4 years. The newer drawing & action style is just horrible. Compare an episode from 10-20 years ago to what they make now and you will understand.

Nothing in the show makes sense, I understand it is a kids show, but I doubt it would last for so long. The animation ruins it, its not relatable to SpongeBob. I would not recommend.

Sorry guys I really can not describe the ridiculous and boring and not funny this series. Watching this show is just a waste of time.

Nickelodeon You destroyed enough Sponge Bob. Finish it Now.

I understand that this is a separate show from spongebob, however it took all the worst aspects from the original show and made it into its own. Patrick is the silly comic relief in a clever show. This is just stupid punchlines without the buildup, and nothing that happens makes any sense. Yes it's a kids show, but kids aren't stupid and that's why the smart writing (especially of early spongebob) worked so well. If this show came out without spongebob as it's predecessor I doubt it would last half a season.

Uncle grandpa but worse and 0 procent of the original spongebob kept.

Most of you people are angry about this show because Stephen says he "doesn't" want any spin offs, but he obviously changed his mind because Vincent Waller on twitter says that he actually 100% knew about Kamp Koral and worked on it before he sadly died. He might not know about The Patrick Show, but just give it another chance, or at least watch The Patterfly Effect-onward because starting with that episode, there's a new crew that made the show a whole lot better than it used to be. The stories were a whole lot more enjoyable and it was more funny than ever. It's still definitely not on par with SpongeBob, but it's still pretty good. Please give it another chance.

I actually sorta enjoy this show, and I find the rating pretty low, I am a fan of post sequel spongebob so this show is like that but even more random, yeah this show it's mostly just random things happening on screen everytime, which at times it's annonying, but other times it's pretty funny, so it's hit or miss, I had a lot of fun with some of episodes (like Stair Wars or Gas station vacation) while others aren't that funny (like The Yard Sale or Bunny the Barbarian that aren't awful, just mediocre) so overall I give this show 5-6 (enjoyable, but not that great).

Nickelodeon seems to be trying to run spongebob into the ground at this point. There was no reason for patrick to have a show of his own and this is a perfect example of why.

It ruins Patrick's legacy, and is a disgrace to spongebob. Patrick has never been the sharpest tool in the shed, but this show makes him look like a complete idiot. I also can't see kids learning many new vocabulary of lessons from this show. Disgraceful.

When I was a kid my parents could watch SpongeBob with me and enjoy it I tried watching this today and there was no enjoyment to be found and I am basically their age.

We watch Spongebob seemingly 24/7 in this house. My boys 6 & 8, and myself, really enjoy it. This spin-off is pure dreck. It's boring, follows an inconsistent character storyline from its predecessor, and just falls flat. My 8yo has no desire to watch it at all and my 6yo excitedly asks to watch it on Fridays and a few minutes in picks up his iPad to watch something else. Says a lot to me if it can't hold the attention of kids.

The latest dumpster that made by Nicklodeon + It's messy.

My toddler is a huge fan of Spongebob and so he was excited when he heard there was going to be a spin-off of Spongebob starring Patrick. I understand that it's a kids show but it was very dumb. I could barely sit through the whole episode with him. Spongebob is way better and I don't see the Patrick Show lasting for very long since it's just not good.

This is a great show. Comedy and fun. People who don't like it aren't keeping up with the times when it come animation. Some won't get it, others will.

Putting the entire SpongeBob spinoff controversy aside, and after watching several episodes, this show wasn't as bad as I was hoping it would be, and honestly for a show relying on it's comic relief as a main character it could've fared far worse. It's better than Planet Sheen or Young Sheldon in terms of that, and to me that's a huge compliment and a step up from the others.

Maybe it's the abstract feel of the show that got me pulled in? There are a lot of fun animation gags and odes to certain cartoon tropes that I wasn't expecting, and I had a fun time in some episodes. I wish I could hate this considering the complications Nick has with squeezing every single bit of the Sponge out. But at its absolute worst... it's only somewhat mediocre or serves as just candy for your eyes and that's about it.

Really aimless and silly show it can never be in the same league as spongebob squarepants.

While the animation is good there really isn't anything of value here. Comedy reliefs just don't work as leads. Even with one episode out so far it already feels repetitive the show is completely aimless with its surrealist humour that goes no where.

I do understand that Patrick is Patrick, but this show is just not that good. In the Spongebob show, Patrick has a big sister Sam, and has parents that aren't Janet and Marty, and why have a spin off when you can see Patrick and the rest of the Spongebob characters on there. This is my first and last time watching The Patrick Star Show, it's bad, and I'm better off watching Spongebob that I've been watching it for over 20 years.
