My favorite tv show

Again, like the two past blogs, it's difficult to pick just one tv show, but I'm gonna choose the one that I love since I have memory. This animated tv show it's called SpongeBob SquarePants.
This program was created by Stephen Hillenburg, a marine biologist who have artistic features and he always wanted to do something different with his job, so he mix his knowledge in marine biology and in the artistic field, and in 1999 he presented to Nickelodeon the idea of a children animated comedy, based in characters of the sea enviroment, and the directors loved the idea inmediatly, so 2 month later they launched a pilor who was a big success.
With characters like a sea sponge (SpongeBob, the principal character, who works as a cooker in the Krusty Krab), a starfish called Patrick, the pink best friend of SpongeBob who is characterized for being a little bit stupid, and for living in a rock, and a octupus called Squidward, this show conquered a lot of achievements, like being the Nickelodeon series with more episodies (It have more of 200, and counting), and is considerated for a lot of magazines and polls, one of the best cartoon of all time. Another curious fact is that SpongeBob is the first fictional character with a sculpture in the Madam Tussauds wax museum in New York.
But the most particular fact is the report that of the 50 million who watch it every month, the 45% are adults! (just like me, but I think I'm a kid yet).
Anyways, for me this is the best cartoon ever and I still keep seeing it, and I'll do forever! HAIL TO THE SPONGE!
Regards.

One of my favorites movies

This week I have to write about my favorite movie. It's so difficult pick just one, but i'm gonna choose one of this year that I love so much!
This movie won the Oscar for "best movie", I'm talking about "12 years a slave".
The film is an adaptation of a memoir of the slave Salomon Northup, relased in 1853. This man was a free New York Afican-American citizen, who worked as a violinist for the "high classes" of the United States. Then, Salomon was kidnapped in Washington D.C for a pair of cheaters who offered him a two-week job in a kind of "circus" in 1841, but they just wanted to sold him to slavery.
This story take place during the twelve years that Salomon worked in the plantations of Louisina, the state where he was sold, and how he discover that if he is a "educated slave", he's gonna have more chances to escape.
After all the abuses that he had to suffer, a local sheriff, who asks Northup a lot of questions to confirm that he was really a free man who lived in New York. Confirmed this, Salomon was restored to freedom and he returned to his family, and they work together to find the mans who enslaved him.
This is one of the best movies that I've seen in my life. I really enjoyed the whole 134 minutes of the film.
I love the historic movies!
That's all, regards!
