Synopsis
The episode begins with Squidward waking up at 5:00 a.m. to watch Fab and Fancy. But it is canceled and replaced with  Zeus the Guitar Lord. Squidward then finds out they give shows to anyone. He then calls the network and gets his own T.V. show. He is next seen at the Krusty Krab waiting happily to leave and get started on his show. SpongeBob overhears him talking and asks why he is so jittery. But Squidward plugs up his ears and leaves before SpongeBob can ask. Squidward is at his house preparing for Squidward Chat. But SpongeBob finds out and rushes to Squidward's house to tell him. Then he brings Patrick in and they start messing up the show. Squidward tells them to leave, but they just plain refuse. Patrick then becomes the cameraman and SpongeBob controls the microphone, but they make it even worse. Mr. Krabs finds out and uses the show as free advertisement. Sandy watches and soon starts dancing on the show. Then Pearl watches and decides to use her cheerleading. Plankton watches and thinks he could cause more damage with his ray gun. Then the entire set is ruined. Squidward tells them all to leave and asks them if this is some sort of house warming. Larry overhears it and everybody comes in and that is the end of Squidward Chat. The producer comes in and tells Squidward that the show is going great but kicks a few people out including Squidward. The show is renamed Squidward's House Party, which does not include Squidward. Instead it has Zeus the Guitar Lord. It also has Patrick on the drums, Sandy and Pearl as back-up dancers, SpongeBob on the Electric Piano, Mr. Krabs as advertisement, and Plankton as the special effects master. And the worst part is, Squidward can't sleep.

Trivia

 * In German, this episode is called Tentakel TV which means "Tentacles TV".
 * When Patrick puts his mouth to the camera lens, we see a human mouth on a fish's tv screen.
 * The guitar ad said axe, which could be a reference to Adventure Time with Marceline the Vampire's bass was made from an axe
 * After Spongebob was laughing in the conversation at the Krusty Krab, he said "good times" which could be a reference to The Fairly Odd Parents, which is what Cosmo sometimes say after laughing.
 * On the Nickelodeon schedule, Nick lists this episode as "Squid TV".
 * Zeus The Guitar Lord apparently got his own TV show for his birthday, coincidentally, Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice got her own TV show for her 16th birthday, called Victorious, however the show first premiered about a year and a month after her 16th birthday, when she first got the show.

Goofs

 * Although a few other people were rejected from the show, Squidward was the only one kicked out of the house. Also, the other rejected fish can still be seen in the party.
 * Bikini Bottom Public Access has no authority barging in, or throwing a rather "destructive" party in someone else's property.
