Reception

• Currently retired critic Josh Rode of the DVD Verdict was unfavorable on the episodes featured, regarding the whole season as "by far the least consistently funny season of the venerable cartoon." "The sad fact is the show's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. [...] The episode plots can't help but be somewhat repetitive. Most of Season Seven's best moments involve the nearly evil genius Plankton [...] Mr. Krabs' snail-napping for the sake of loose change is also funny, and the Mermaidman and Barnacleboy episodes—while not as fresh as they once were—are still better than average. [...] The titular sponge and his best friend Patrick have become the least engaging parts of the show, which is a problem since they dominate screen time. Patrick has been dumbed down too far [...] As for SpongeBob, he acts like a happy, fun-loving, not-overly-intelligent sponge, but has entirely lost the naïveté which has long been the basis of his charm." He was also critical of the "invariably poorly written and arranged" songs, and praised the shorts featured for being "far funnier than the actual episodes they're advertising." His verdict was "not guilty," due to the episodes' appeal to younger audiences.

Trivia

General

• "SpongeBob's Last Stand" and "The Great Patty Caper" are counted as double-length episodes.
• This is the first DVD for several things:
  • The first SpongeBob DVD with four discs.
  • The first DVD to include a character on the side, followed by The Complete Ninth Season, The Complete Tenth Season, The Complete Eleventh Season, and The Complete Twelfth Season.
  • The first season set to be released on DVD completely in Region 1 since The Complete 3rd Season in 2005.
  • The first season set to be packaged in one standard DVD case instead of a box set with multiple cases. Previous seasons would later be re-released in this format.
  • The first season set to have plain gray discs instead of discs with artwork on them. All season sets both new and re-released would use this format except The Next 100 Episodes and The Best 200 Episodes Ever.
  • The first season DVD to have the spine text in a color other than white.
  • The first season DVD to have a non-related cover and menu.
• This DVD also introduced the format of having a large number indicating the season number in the middle of the cover artwork. All season sets now use this format, including re-releases.
• This DVD uses a different case from all other seasons.
• This DVD does not list the episodes by disc on the back.
• This is the last season DVD to have an animated menu.
• This DVD is the only Region 1 season set to not have "The" before the rest of the title.
• This is the only season DVD to have differing English names.
• The Region 1 cover can be seen as somewhat based on "Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle" or "Rodeo Daze" due to the crowd of characters and SpongeBob blowing a bubble.
• On the alternate covers (besides the Japanese release), Template:Data:Links is the only main character on the cover and the other characters are made out of bubbles.
• The side of the Latin America version, it has the same side as The Complete Third Season.

  • Unknown "Y" 1 ("Trenchbillies")
  • Incidental Y2 ("Trenchbillies")
  • Sam Star ("Big Sister Sam")
  • Madame Hagfish ("The Curse of the Hex")
  • Puffy Fluffy, Rrarrg and Howard are the only major episodic characters from season 7 who are not on the cover.
• The first disc includes previews for other Nickelodeon DVDs. These include older SpongeBob DVDs and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles Forever DVD.
• On June 7, 2022, this DVD set and The Complete Eighth Season were released together in a bundle called The Seventh & Eighth Seasons.

  • "Model Sponge" - "SpongeBob's entire modeling career."
  • "Tentacle-Vision" - "Squidward's whole public television career."
  • "Summer Job" - "Mrs. Puff's complete Krusty Krab career."

Errors

• The DVD description for "The Curse of Bikini Bottom" says that SpongeBob and Template:Data:Links disturbed the Flying Dutchman's slumber. This is wrong, because they cut off his beard and did not disturb his slumber.

Confused babbling.

• In the episode "One Coarse Meal," when SpongeBob and Template:Data:Links both say, "Huh?," the closed-captioning refers to it as "(confused babbling)."
  • This also happens on The Next 100 Episodes, The Best 200 Episodes Ever, and The Seventh & Eighth Seasons DVDs.
• On the episode listing, "Sponge-Cano!" is listed as "Sponge-Cano," missing the exclamation point at the end of the title.
