Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe show's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, was a marine biologist. When he pitched the show to Nickelodeon, he brought a fish tank into the boardroom, and explained what was living inside. He then placed a cartoon drawing of SpongeBob into the tank and said "This is SpongeBob, the star of your new show."
- GoofsPlankton's size varies throughout the series.
- Crazy creditsThe background of the end credits shows white silhouettes of flowers upon a yellow background. The music that plays usually is the closing theme, which is ukulele music.
- Alternate versionsThe French version digitally changes the opening title cards for each episode to the title in French. The opening sequence has also been slightly altered: the bubble words "SpongeBob SquarePants" has been replaced with a bubble version of SpongeBob. On the board that changes colors, SpongeBob's face replaces the name SpongeBob SquarePants; the part where SpongeBob's pants bounce around the show's title has been replaced with scenery in Bikini Bottom, and the show's title is digitally altered to read "Bob l'eponge".

Featured review
Great entertainment for kids and adults, particularly in the early seasons
My stepdaughter introduced me to this series, and I have to say not since Rocky and Bullwinkle have I seen a cartoon that both kids and adults can greatly enjoy and find humorous on their respective levels. My favorites include "Survival of the Idiots" in which Patrick and Spongebob get trapped in Sandy's treedome during her hibernation. The creator of this show has obviously befriended a Texan or two. Anyone who has owned or been owned by a cat will enjoy "Dumped" and "Gary Takes a Bath", both of which deal with Spongebob and Gary, his pet Snail. "Grandma's Kisses" has some of the most memorable quotes in which Patrick assures Spongebob that being a man consists of doing three things: Patrick: Allow me to demonstrate. First, puff out your chest.
(SpongeBob puffs out his chest) Patrick: Now say, "tax exemption." SpongeBob: Tax exemption.
Patrick: Now you must develop a taste for free-form jazz.
In "Squidville" well-deserved fun is poked at the dull uniformity of planned communities and homeowners associations...Anyone who lives in the DC area knows EXACTLY what I am talking about! Another classic is "Bubble Buddy", in which Spongebob has an imaginary friend who has been causing problems around Bikini Bottom all day. In Squidward's case his tragedy is that Bubble Buddy "forced him to provide excellent customer service". Anybody out there who has worked for a living will recognize Squidward as the fellow employee who wants to do the required minimum because he believes he is somehow destined for greater things.
In short, if you want something that both you and the kids can watch and truly enjoy together, you can't do any better than SpongeBob, in particular the seasons where creator Steven Hillenburg was involved.
