The Patrick Star Show is a SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off series that focuses on SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick. It was developed by Luke Brookshier, Marc Ceccarelli, Andrew Goodman, Kaz, Doug Lawrence, and Vincent Waller and first aird in July 9, 2021.

Premise

Patrick Star hosts his very own talk show at his family home, with the support of his family.

Bad Qualities

1. The idea of making a show about Patrick Star (while not at all a terrible idea) can be seen as unoriginal, lazy, and not a good concept since Patrick was designed to be the comic relief and not a protagonist (granted SpongeBob SquarePants is normally a comedy show but still), not to mention by the fact that not only is SpongeBob SquarePants still airing new episodes by the time The Patrick Star Show was even created, but Patrick usually has protagonist moments in the original show to begging with, which makes this show even more redundant then previously.
2. The overall concept of the show feels rather off, as it's a generic Talk Show that has been done in much better Media, which makes it feel out-of-place in a show such as SpongeBob SquarePants.
3. Laughable, yet, forgettable theme song, despite having made by Ego Plum
4. A Hand-Full of badly made episodes.
5. A select few annoying and obnoxious characters in The Patrick Star Show that look out-of-place and does not fit with the esthetics of SpongeBob SquarePants, with Patrick's new family being the worst offender as they were given a dramatic change in their designs, names and other features. Making such family resemble nothing to Patrick's original family in SpongeBob SquarePants.
   • To make matters worse, as of this Spin-Off, the new family would be considered canon in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe and make them as Patrick's real family right after the moment they were presented.
6. Many, many, many, MANY out-of-place moments that feels akward in SpongeBob SquarePants, such as the He-Man-like face that Patrick makes when he says "So handsome!" in the Season 1 Episode "Just in Time for Christmas".
7. Out-of-place Slap-Stick Comedy that does not fit well with a show such as SpongeBob SquarePants.

Good Qualities

1. The animation is still great as it was previously, thanks to being animated by Rough Draft Studios as well as the episodes that Michelle Bryan (The Fairly OddParents) animated.
2. On that note, this show also uses different styles and creative backgrounds, which look beautiful and fit the show very well.
3. Good voice Acting given the fact that all of the original voice-actors from the original show return.
4. There are some great episodes here-and-there.
5. Characters from SpongeBob SquarePants make a return, which adds some nice continuity unlike Planet Sheen.
   • Most of the original characters are likable, especially the Star family.

Reception

Despite receiving more positives reviews, the series currently holds a 3.5/10 on IMDb
