About 
"Love Boat Angels" was so much more than the fourth season premiere of ABC's flagship jiggle show, "Charlie's Angles". It was also mind-numbingly dull.

'SpongeBob' Prequel Series Won't Kill Any Younglings
Children's programming giant Nickelodeon has ordered up 13 episodes of a SpongeBob SquarePants prequel series called (so far) Kamp Koral. The new series will be entirely produced with 3D digital animation, as opposed to the original Spongebob, which was brought to life through traditional hand-drawn animation.
Kamp Koral will be the first of what could be multiple spin-off series of the original series, and will start production at Nickelodeon's Burbank offices in June. SpongeBob SquarePants' Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller will be co-executive producers on the prequel series.
The series will follow the young sponge and his friends as they attend summer camp, chase wild jellyfish, learn how to make underwater campfires, and swim about in Lake Yuckymuck, which is situated in the kelp forest.
"SpongeBob has an incredible universe to expand upon and the greenlight for Kamp Koral is a testament to the strength and longevity of these characters known and loved by generations of fans around the world."
-Ramsey Naito, Nickelodeon's EVP Animation Production and Development.
The news of Kamp Koral's pickup is hitting really close to the 20th anniversary of the original series, which debited on Nickelodeon on July 17th, 1999. The series has spawned two full length feature movies, with a third on the way.
SpongeBob SquarePants is History
