The Patrick Star Show

In the segment “A Tinkle in Time”, Tinkle accidentally embarks on a time‑travelling adventure. Later, in “TV or Not TV”, Patrick and Squidina are prohibited from watching television while they are with their parents. Both segments are featured in series four, episode three.

A Tinkle in Time/TV or Not TV is an episode of a programme that blends whimsical adventure with everyday situations. It’s presented as a single instalment split into two distinct parts, each following familiar characters as they navigate unusual circumstances. In the first half, titled “A Tinkle in Time”, the character Tinkle accidentally finds herself on a time‑travelling escapade, stumbling through different eras without any clear plan. The second half, “TV or Not TV”, sees Patrick and Squidina forced to give up television whenever they’re with their parents, highlighting the simple rule that the screen stays off during family time. Both segments retain the series’ light‑hearted tone, with Tinkle’s unexpected journey providing a touch of fantastical fun, while Patrick and Squidina’s TV ban offers a relatable slice of daily life. The episode’s structure lets the audience shift quickly from a time‑bending plot to a more grounded, domestic scenario, keeping the pacing lively. The story appears in season 4, episode 3 of the series, and the two titles are presented together as one combined episode. This placement situates the adventure and the parental‑TV rule within the broader continuity of the show’s fourth season.
