The first 5 seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants is a masterpiece and I highly recommend it.
The pre-movie seasons (1-3), of course it's a masterpiece as mentioned by many, but most(?) people doesn't really talk about (or like) the seasons after it since Stephen left iirc. Season 4 and 5 probably has slightly worse writing, but what's good is that mostly there wasn't a single boring episode. It was more fast-paced with more action, and it managed to be somewhat consistent, which made it as good (almost even better) as the first 3 seasons for me.
Season 6 was just fine, it was starting to get bad but it was still watchable. Season 7 however, is where it actually fell off and made me stop watching (even the parents guide mention it being depressing).
I will probably give the future seasons a try someday, but for now you can watch the first 5 seasons of SpongeBob for a really good time :)
