Spongeguard on Duty: I am starting with this one because it was a tad better than the other episode. This isn't a historical episode but is a good episode on Season 3. This is funny as well, and is original. Overall an 8.5/10
Algae is Always Greener: When I say tad, I mean about 15 points. It was a little annoying when Spongebob shouted "SOILED IT". It reminds me of when the new Spongebob screams. It is annoying when they do the victory screech, but the plot is interesting. Average. 7/10moreless
AIRED:
The Algae's Always Greener: Plankton invents a machine enabling him to switch lives with Mr. Krabs. He then finds out that Mr. Krab's life isn't as good as it seems. Sponge Guard on Duty: SpongeBob volunteers for a life-guard job, despite the fact that he can't swim.moreless

TRIVIA (25)
ADD TRIVIA-
In "The Algae's Always Greener" after Plankton switched lives with Mr. Krabs, the restaurant should have been called The Krusty Plankton and the patties should have been called Plankton Patties, since Plankton owns the restaurant because the restaurant staying named The Krusty Krab and the patties still being called Krabby Patties after Plankton switched lives with Krabs would mean that the restaurant and patties would be named after the rival trying to steal the formula.

Pee-Wee's Playhouse was a popular children's show that had a secret word, that when was said loud sounds would go off and people would scream. Which is what happened when Plankton said "Stop!" -

This is a spin-off of the movie called "Being John Malcovitch". -
