Both Spongebob Squarepants and MLP: FiM are fantastic, brilliant cartoon shows in their own way. They’re memorable and lots of fun to watch.

Nobody wants to see SpongeBob be a jerk or Gary to suffer so much for it.

@Background Pony #D310  
Really? A lot of folks hate that episode? I didn’t know that.

@Background Pony #151A  
I highly agree.

Really? Huh.

Oh how the mighty have fallen

Bear in mind, she also wrote “The Great Snail Race” which is one of the most hated SpongeBob episodes of it’s original 3-season run.

Well i still love all her episodes.

@mrdoctorderpy  
Bats! was an okay episode. Spike at Your Service I did not care for.

she also wrote  
Bats!  
Spike at Your Service  
Wonderbolts Academy  
Dragon Quest  
Putting Your Hoof Down  
Hearth’s Warming Eve

How can the person who wrote the absolute worst episode of Ponies write one of the best episodes of Spongebob?!  
Probably because Spongebob doesn’t have a moral. After all, that’s where MMDW fails the hardest.

@Squirmy Hooves  
Even trough their personalities are more like the Griffin’s.

@Background Pony  
Spongebob Squarepants = silly 1990’s cartoon, similiar to Fairly Odd Parents, Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (which is actually the same cartoon as Evil con Carne), Ren & Stimpy, or Cow and Chicken.
 
MLP:FiM = actual cartoon with a plot, and the characters learn lessons. IMDb likens it to “Bob’s Burgers” but that just looks like a second version of the Simpsons but not yellow-skinned, and Italian.

Ok, for that i must love her. Can’t she come back to spongebob?

Ironic, ain’t it?

The hate TMMDW gets comes from the impresion that the others were being malicious, wich was accidental, a result of the episode focusing a lot in the action scennes. Any other criticism is not exclusive of this episode at all, and it’s brought up by people trying to pass their biased hate as genuine criticism.  
It’s unfair to say that it was Merriwether William’s fault, there is quite a lot more in the making of an episode than the writter, like the direction.

At some point in Season 2, people decided to hate every Merriwether Williams episode before they see it. It’s completely arbitrary.

MLP and Spongebob have different styles. Merriwether’s writing works better with a Spongebob style of show.

She also wrote Band Geeks. You know, that one epsiode that everyone loves.  
 
How the hell could she turn out shit like ‘Putting Your Hoof Down’ and ‘Dragon Quest’?

Merriwether has written some crap MLP episodes. She’s also written some decent episodes. Same deal with Polsky. He’s got some good episodes, and he’s got some bad ones.
 
Neither of these two writers deserve the hate they get from this crowd.
 
Even the belief-worthy M.A. Larson wrote an episode or two I didn’t like. So did Amy.
 
There hasn’t been an episode yet that didn’t have at least some redeeming quality. Granted, the only thing saving “Spike At Your Service” was the timberwolf.

I like MMDW episode.
 
DUN DUN DUN.

@Background Pony  
Good on ya m8. Normally, I would love to continue, but I’ve done this shit enough. Have a good day/night.

@Royah  
Aww come on. I live for angry debates over pointless shit like this. It’s a good mental exercise.
