Why Do I Wish SpongeBob Was Canceled? [Square Theory]

I feel like if spongebob ended at the first movie, you just know that around this time, a reboot would either be in the works, or be airing episodes already.

[@RaveRaptor7]

***** Please, we're talking about the same network that kept many dying franchises on life support. A channel owned by Viacom, who resurrected Ren and Stimpy for Spike TV into an unholy abomination. There is nothing sacred nor off limits

[@RaveRaptor7]

A company, let alone, a publicly traded company has multiple heads. Yeah she can voice her opinion all she wants, but just because she's the head won't mean much with people voting against her proposals, or voted out of the position if the share holders are not happy. The changes she might have in mind would probably be trimming the money sinks like Spike TV, sell off Neopets, and a few other things. But if she were thinking of burning down Nick and remaking a new and glorious Nickolodian from it's ashes, one that became about the shows and not about the marketing , that would be pretty damn amazing.

[@balabanasireti]

[@pastapain1866]

As long as ratings are good, SpongeBob will NEVER END! I feel like our opinions or reviews mean nothing to Nickelodeon and that's why Viacom likes to take down videos that talk bad things about their shows so no one ever sees the videos.

[@flowerbunny91]

the show was Supposed to end in 2004, but stupid Nickelodeon exploited the news out of this show. even when it finally ends, I doubt any other Nick show will reach that kind of success.

[@pastapain1866]

+flowerbunny91 I really the new show The Loud House but I'm paranoid that Nickelodeon will cancel when it's getting really good. Viewer ratings, however, have been decently great, so it could last for a couple of years hopefully.

[@athrunzala75]

Not to mention they clog their schedule with SpongeBob reruns to ensure it gets ratings. It's the same thing Cartoon Network does with Teen Titans Go!; basically so they can wave their high ratings in front of everyone.

[@pastapain1866]

I meant to say "I really like"

[@SuperGamer61499]

+Roystein98 I know. And so to get the message to Nick I boycotted them for 3 years. If you want SpongeBob to end the best way is to not give their new shows any ratings.I know it's drastic but to a company the only way you can get the message across is to not give them any money. And in terms of TV that means just don't give them any ratings then it'll hurt them financially.

[@EvilSpiritRAMP]

"what if they give spongebob a spinoff" Nickelodeon: Ironic

[@ArtieArchives]

4:29 It happened, they made Kamp Koral and The Patrick Star Show

[@monstersreview]

I keep seeing so many people talking about how SpongeBob slightly improved because Stephen Hillenburg came back, but I think the positive change is more of a result of Casey Alexander and Zeus Cervas leaving the show. They both were writers on the show from Season 4 until the beginning of Season 9, and in my opinion, they've wrote most of the notoriously bad episodes from the past 10 years.

[@flowerbunny91]

i also think its because of OTHER new writers coming in 2015 and writing better episodes than the 2 that just left.

[@parforet]

Kaz, who wrote the classic episode Chocolate with Nuts, is back in the show.

[@kartoonfanatic]

+MonstersReview, I hope more people notice this comment. I don't want to hate on particular writers, but there is definitely a pattern with these guys.

[@avisreviews5471]

You know, I never really thought it was fair to judge the quality of a show based on the writers on it. While Casey and Zeus did write a ton of bad episode, they still wrote on some good episodes. Some examples being Earworm, Squidward in clarinetland, Frozen face off, the way of the sponge, and chum fricassee. I always judge episodes based on there quality, and not by who wrote them. Keep in mind the same person who wrote Band Geeks wrote on Choir Boys.

[@monstersreview]

Yeah, it's not really hate, but it's just general consensus that most of the bad episodes that have come out of SpongeBob were written by those two.

[@TheAlphaJayShow]

I want Spongebob to end much like how I want The Simpsons to end. They've gone on too long! You can only stretch a show's premise only so far and Spongebob has long since passed it's prime. They are effectively dead shows and their corpses are being animated by the network but they have no thought left of their own. Someone please put them out of their misery. Take for example Patrick. In the earlier seasons he was dumb yes but it was the harmless kind of dumb. Later seasons Patrick has only gotten dumber to the point we have to actively wonder if he actually hates his friend because he inflicts so much pain.

[@flowerbunny91]

but the difference is spongebob has a chance of ending on a good note because the creator returned. Yes it went on too long but it's in a way better place than simpsons.

[@dmitribrutus5543]

I do agree that they need to cancelled this show because most cartoon in Nick didn't have a chance to shine. There were good old shows or new shows that were good: Avatar, Danny Phantom, TUFF Puppy, Rugrats, , but it will overshadow by Spongebob. Don't get me started on Kids Choice Awards, where Spongebob keep winning or rigged votings. Let someone else win

[@flowerbunny91]

well I disagree with the Rugrats part because Rugrats was around for almost a decade when spongebob debuted in 1999. I have no proof of Danny phantom being cancelled for the same reason either. But at the end of the day, Nick should get the blame...NOT the show. It's so easy for ppl to blame shows. And agree I'm tired of rigged awards.

[@yourdestination6897]

TUFF Puppy was my childhood ;-;

[@dmitribrutus5543]

+flowerbunny91 that true😌

[@dmitribrutus5543]

+CrayDude345 // RageEX Yeah

[@CassandraPantaristi]

The reason Danny Phantom got cancelled was because Butch Hartman hired voice actors without Nickelodeon's permission. Nick was not too happy about it, and were like "well we are gonna cancel it." I have the complete series on DVD, and I was hoping that they would have lasted longer than they did. Valerie was going to figure out ways to hunt down Vlad after she discovers who he really is, and she may or may not have had Danny and gang to help her. That would have been great. But no, Butch had to scramble everything together to make Phantom Planet.

[@kingvideogames]

"What if they gave a character a spin-off show?" Well...

[@Percyfan99]

I feel ever since those spin-offs were announced this reality is becoming more and more close 😢

[@RandomTubexX]

Honestly, i would prefer it to end it while it's bad again because then at least we would know we did not miss out on any good episodes

[@brrgames]

While most people prefer the show to end after the movie, I personally wouldn't mind if the show ended at Season 5 (the season that had the Two faces of Squidward which is one of the best Squidward episodes ever made since Band Geeks) because a lot of the good episodes feel like they belong to pre-movie and they outnumber the bad episodes. But even if it's still going to run like forever, at least it has more dignity than the Fairly OddParents today. FOP has no more dignity now that they broke pretty much every important rule in Da Rules without any reasoning or logic.

[@negavenom]

+BRRGames And tried too hard to be relevant by using smart phones, viral videos, internet slang, and the dreaded duck lips.

[@PIEGUYRULZ]

+BRRGames I've said it before, I wouldn't mind if the show ended at 5. I just say after 3 here, because that would have been the perfect ending place for the show where it would have had almost all good episodes.

[@flowerbunny91]

me too. I would have personally asked for 2 more seasons anyway.

[@TheZags18]

+BRRGames I agree. Objectively speaking, I think FOP has remained closer to its roots than SpongeBob in that later episdoes of FOP are more similar to its earlier episodes than SpongeBob. But at least SpongeBob doesn't try to capitalize on current trends. At least it has that shred of diginity. In addition to that, I honestly think the drop in quality from season 5 to season 6 was even bigger than the drop in quality from season 3 to season 4. If I had to choose any point to cancel the show, I would have chosen season 5 instead of season 3. Yes, there were bad episodes in seasons 4 and 5 that tarnished the show's legacy, but I think it was worth it to get some of the fantastic episodes (Fear of a Krabby Patty, Shell of a Man, the Lost Mattress, Krusty Towers, Dunces and Dragons, Two Faces of Squidward, Krabs a la mode, etc). There were a few good episodes of season 6, but I don't think it was worth it to continue the show just for those episodes from a legacy standpoint.

[@LordKraken3]

I'd honestly prefer it if Spongebob got a proper finale rather than it getting canceled. Some series just get cancelled way too fast without providing a proper end to a story they may be telling. Here's how I'd want the series to end... Plankton launches his ultimate effort to get the Krabby Patty formula by launching a massive robot attack on the Krusty Krab. Despite Plankton's army failing in the end, both the Chum Bucket and Krusty Krab are destroyed, but the town comes together to make an effort to build a new restaurant for Mr. Krabs. Meanwhile, after the destruction of the Krusty Krab, Spongebob gets offered a new job in another town's restaurant. He takes the position, but has to move because of that. After the rebuilding of the Krusty Krab, Spongebob visits the restaurant one last time with his friends to reminisce on old times before he moves away, and when the day of the move comes, he says goodbye to all of his friends before hopping in a cab with Gary to go to his new job. As the cab drives away, Spongebob waves at all his friends, who wave back. The series ends with the cab driving off into the distance as the shot pans up into the sky, with the words "THE END" eventually appearing before a warm fade to black.

[@TDOSTs]

Well, sorry, Pieguy. It's getting a 10th and 11th season and it's getting a third theatrical movie. It's essentially turned into the Simpsons--going on for a very long time but continues to go on regardless. Besides, considering its high viewership and the fact that SpongeBob is the main reason Nickelodeon is still going on, do you think they're really going to cancel it anytime soon?

[@PIEGUYRULZ]

+P0CK3TB00K No. I don't, I say it many times in the video. That's why it's a "wish" and not a prediction.

[@NorbertSD]

+PIEGUYRULZ Fair enough. Also, I mentioned this in a separate comment, but I think it's a good thing Nick passed up Adventure Time. Not only was I never a fan of it, but if Nick had picked it up, like you said in the video, maybe it would have become a completely different show. And since Rebecca Sugar got her start on AT, although I don't really like SU either, maybe if Nick had picked up AT, maybe Steven Universe would've never come to be. Plus, Nick has been showing signs of improvement over the past year--putting out Harvey Beaks and the Loud House which are two really good shows, cancelling Breadwinners and Sanjay and Craig and finally making the Hey Arnold! Jungle Movie, Nick will be better in upcoming years! Rejoice, Pieguy!

From putting out Harvey Beaks and the Loud House to cancelling Sanjay and Craig and Breadwinners to finally making the Hey Arnold!

If there is only one thing coming to Nick I'm NOT looking forward to, it's Pinky Malinky, but aside from that, everything else is pretty promising! Have you seen Welcome to the Wayne?

+P0CK3TB00K I haven't, but I will be giving it a watch, and I've heard good things about it. I used to be prickly about alot of things Nick put out, but now I've starting tempering my own expectations, and have focused on the good than the bad side of things. Also, Spongebob has been doing good lately, and I recently saw a new episode of it (Mr Krabs trains Spongebob in boating). It was the most I laughed at it in years. That's a good sign (Fairly OddParents is still crap though).

[@rubenarenas477]

Powerpuff Girls 2016 (Just like TTG, but with little girls twerking and bad voice actors.) 4. Spongebob (Latest episodes fking killed it and no plot in episodes, just a bunch of fillers and crying.) 5. Uncle Grandpa (an old man and a pizza with a ballsack abducting children in an RV.) TOP SHOWS 1. The Amazing World of Gumball (Detailed and has amazing jokes, this shows is gonna last another 5 years!) 2. Steven Universe (Unique and just the animation quality is amazing! 3. We Bare Bears (funny show of bears trying fit with people.) 4. Clarence (A show I love that puts me back in my childhood!!) 5. The Loud House (Its okay.)

I think Sponge on the Run is going to really hurt Spongebob now that Hillinburg is dead, that are tons of incompetent writers. Nick can't afford Spongebob to be in another a dark age. Aparently Sponge on the Run will ruin how Spongebob would meet Squidward, Dipsh*t star/Patrick and Capitalist Krabs/Mr. Krabs At this point Spongebob has become a Zombie and Spongebob needs to end and should have ended.

Nickelodeon itself is he worst, horribly corrupt. They're like the annoyingly embarrassing uncle that tries to be hip but only makes a fool of themselves.

Disney channel is the aunt who although is not the greatest, but is still trying her best to look for the most fun stuff to do with you, while Disney XD is the x-treme coolz uncle who is like a better version of Nickelodeon. He can act just as foolish, but seems to know what you want most of the time.

[@brettquimby3274]

Personally, I think that Rugrats went through seasonal rot worse than Spongebob ever has so far. It kept adding new characters and didn't have the formula to recover from seasonal rot. As for Spongebob ending, like The Simpsons, it should end when it wants to. Since it made such a huge impact, it deserves to keep going as it wants. And no, Spongebob hasn't hurt Nickelodean. Nickelodean hurt Spongebob by forcing it into overdrive.

[@brettquimby3274]

[@kartoonfanatic]

+andykishore, I agree with you, and disagree with you at the same time. If you had said SpongeBob wasn't the reason Nick was declining 6 years ago or more, I wouldn't be able to agree with you more. But what SpongeBob is doing for Nick at the moment is allowing it to not try very hard with any new cartoon ideas. As early as the days of the Mighty B!, it was clear Nick wasn't trying very hard with their new cartoons outside of gimmicks and famous voice actors. And since then, they really haven't tried. Butch Hartman's Tuff Puppy was the first new cartoon on Nick in years that seemed to at least be trying to be decent, but even then, it seemed to lack something.

[@brettquimby3274]

kartoonfanatic That's not Spongebob's fault. Nick should be looking for as much great programming as possible. Spongebob is trying to be better instead of just relying on its' name to rake in viewers. Nick wasn't really trying that hard, although that does appear to be changing somewhat. The Loud House, the Hidden Temple movie, and Hey Arnold movie are steps in the right direction.

Nickelodeon kinda mirrors the Disney Channel in a way. While not as drastic, I remember a time when it seemed like their only cartoon was Phineas and Ferb. They didn't air it non-stop like SB, but in between Suite Life and the countless pop star series (which is something I recall Nick doing for a while) that was usually the only animated show they made a big deal about. And before that, most of their cartoons were flash-in-the-pan stuff like George the Barbarian.

[@maxshapiro078]

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't think the show needed to end RIGHT after the movie. Seasons 4 and 5 do have some bad episodes, but between those two seasons there are also lot of really great ones. In my opinion Seasons 4 and 5 deserved to exist, and if the show ended after that point its legacy would still not be hurt.

[@PIEGUYRULZ]

+Maxwell Shapiro You're not. I like 4 and 5 as well to an extent. I'm happy they exist, but at the same time if the show had ended after 3 it would have been nearly flawless from start to finish.

[@maxshapiro078]

That is true, but rarely does a show stay perfect throughout its entire run. Rugrats, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo and even Friends were said to have had dips in quality towards the end of their runs. But despite that, all of them are still looked back on as great shows. Even though SpongeBob's 4th and 5th seasons weren't as consistently good as its first 3, they had enough great episodes to justify their existence, and so the show's legacy would not have been damaged had it ended after Season 5. (And by the way, thanks for replying)

[@sorryifarted.441]

But then again, the series wouldn't have been hurt if 4 and 5 never existed. Granted, it doesn't mind having 4 and 5, but it wouldn't make a *huge* difference.

[@flatscreengamer9725]

Yeah I definitely agree. I feel the same about a lot of shows that stayed way too long.

[@cameroncunnings5498]

+Kylo Ren It is. The show has consistently run for 6 years now. It's quality has never wavered for me. It helps that they keep a tight track with regards to everything - continuity included. Plus, it's always stayed true to itself, and never dives into convolution, which is one reason I despise Adventure Time now due to it changing its core personality, ruining it's charm for me.

[@balabanasireti]

+Kylo Ren A lot of kids nowadays also really love Spongebob. So that is not really a good argument to say that Regular Show is still good. I only have a problem with this argument btw, I still love Regular Show.

[@abandonedchannel546]

I think this show should of ended at the end of Season 5, but... it's not really the show I want to end. I want FOP to end because it's getting terrible >_>

[@TheSpecialPsycho]

Getting? FOP went to crap the instant they introduced Sparky and decided "let's forget all continuity, it doesn't matter, nobody remembers the older episodes"

[@BillyBob125]

+SBells27 Wait? I thought they canceled Fairly odd parents! because i don't see it air any more and that shitty Alvin and the shitbums show replaced its marathon spot.

[@abandonedchannel546]

TheSpecialPsycho And now they added Chloe -_- God I can't believe this show jumped the shark 3 TIMES.

[@FrozenUSA]

I stopped watching FOP right after Sparky was introduced. That episode where he makes his debut is horrible. I didn't personally mind the Poof episodes. I think the show really hit a low point right around the time the Wishology trilogy aired. I only kept watching for the first live action movie because I have been a Drake Bell fan ever since I first saw him on The Amanda Show. I was horribly disappointed. I haven't been a consistent viewer since then. Butch Hartman himself still feel that show is viable. I get that FOP is his baby in a way but I think he just can't see that most viewers are not liking and have not been liking the turn the show has taken. Why doesn't he just cancel this show and bring back Danny Phantom for one more season? He has acknowledged that DP has a strong cult following and he tries to give viewers to his KZbin channel DP content whenever he can. However he just can't seem to admit that the show is ripe for a return. The worst thing that could happen is that Nickelodeon rejects the reboot. It was one of the best cartoons of the last 10 years IMO.

[@mcamman6193]

I didn't mind the 6th and to an extent the 7th and 8th Season of Fairly OddParents (Though I don't care for those seasons like I do with SpongeBob seasons 4 and 5). I honestly have nothing against Poof but I wish he had a bit more of a character. But yeah, I DO NOT LIKE SPARKY. In fact, I haven't seen a new Fairly OddParents episode in a few years. I stopped watching by the time we were in Season 9 ( When Sparky came around ). I saw a review for Chole and while I don't think she's as bad as Sparky, I can tell she was another obvious mistake to bring into the show.

AGiLE-EaGLE1994 I loved watching that show and I wish they would bring it back

[@koalaslovelemons8098]

I feel like the end of Spongebob would inevitably mean the end of Nickelodeon...and I’m sad to say I’d prefer that. Once it does end (most likely due to catastrophe), the only shows that I know are still running new episodes are TMNT and the Loud House. Which they’ll likely run into the ground to compensate. Spongebob was my childhood and inspired me to strive towards a career in cartoon animation. It was even my dream to work for Nick for the longest time. However I’m sure if I tried to work there, my show would get tossed just because it’s not as successful as Spongebob in the first few years.

[@TheDSGuy]

Thanks for this. It's good to see you back at it again with the Square Theories. Yes, I would like SpongeBob to end soon. Wth the exception of the six or so episodes that recently aired, I have seen every episode. At this point, I don't really care if I miss those episodes. I would watch the new ones just because I don't like seeing most of something without seeing all of it. Now I don't really mind missing some of it.

[@RyanStorey1231]

On a separate note: I loved The X's! I wish more people talked about it. It wasn't the greatest show ever, but I liked its weird, streamlined, blocky art-style and it had a really fun premise with some cool characters. (GlowFace was such a cool villain!) I wish it had been given a chance. Catscratch was a great show, too. Though, it was weird that an adult male anthropomorphic cat had a crush on an eight-year-old girl. Like, seriously. That show basically condoned pedophilia (and bestiality, but it's a cartoon). Am I the only one who kind of liked Back At The Barnyard? I thought that it was really funny. It was really stupid, but I liked how over-the-top and zany it was. At the very least, it felt like the writers were trying to write clever jokes. I remember the show having a lot of fourth-wall humor and bizarre comedic cutaway gags (they weren't as obnoxious as they are in Family Guy). Plus, it was actually an improvement on the original movie, which was bland and essentially The Lion King on a farm. Meh... I won't call the show a masterpiece, but it was entertaining, at least.

[@kartoonfanatic]

X's and Catscratch were both good premises that didn't seem to get enough time to explore their concepts. Barnyard I wasn't partial to, but to the show's credit, i have a general grudge against Nick buying the rights to make shows based on movies. I feel like it's lazy on their part, since they know the movie already has a fan base. It doesn't necessarily make the show bad, but they just shouldn't exist, really. I hope they learned after Monster's Vs. Aliens didn't work out that that tactic isn't going to cut it anymore.

[@RyanStorey1231]

Well, it worked with Jimmy Neutron, which was a movie first. Plus, Both Jimmy Neutron and Barnyard were made my Nickelodeon, unlike the endless Dreamworks shows they have. Catscratch always reminded me of The Angry Beavers, for some reason. Maybe it was the overall tone and premise of the show. Apparently, a lot of people hated The X's. This is news to me. I really wish both shows had gotten a chance to explore their concepts. At least Catscratch lasted for a full year. The X's only made it to twenty episodes.

[@kartoonfanatic]

***** Hm, I hadn't considered Jimmy. My head was wrapped around those endless Dreamwork shows. I think Jimmy's movie lends itself to be a concept that could be explored as a full TV show more easily than the others, but that's just my opinion. (It could also be because Dexter's Lab was on at the time and the show borrowed one or two things from it.) I apologize, was Barnyard a Nick movie? I suppose it was. O_O I forgot. Nick hasn't put out an animated movie like that in so long. (that I'm aware of.) I could see the parallels between Catscratch and Beavers, animals kinda dealing with humans every once in a while, but mostly keeping to themselves. The brothers trope also brings Beavers to mind. Catscratch worked because, well, Mr. Blick reminds me of Cat from Cat Dog, and Waffles and Gordon have their own unique personality that gave them all chemistry. The show would have been dull otherwise. I guess the X's was too similar to the Incredibles for some people, that's the only reason I can think about why people hated it. People don't like possible copycats. But that's why I liked it. We're still waiting for an Incredibles 2 and it's 2016. -_- I like that the X's never took itself too seriously, it could make all it's characters look very dorky, so it could do things that the Incredibles couldn't really do.

[@RyanStorey1231]

kartoonfanatic You know, I have heard that people hated The X's for being similar to The Incredibles, but honestly I never saw the similarities. One was a family of superheroes and the other was a family of secret spies. The X's was mostly comedy, which worked to its advantage. I'll admit, I mostly watched it because I loved GlowFace and he had such a cool design. I liked how the electricity in his bulb-like head was always moving. I need to watch it again. It's not easy to find online, so I may have to do some deep searching.

[@kartoonfanatic]

***** I never made the connection myself until I saw other people point out the release of the Incredibles and the X's appearing soon after that. I like that they are spies, too. I feel like it was trying to do it's own thing, pulling elements from Mr and Mrs. Smith at times, too. Ah, GlowFace, I forgot his name! Yeah, his design was amazing. :3

[@cartoongamegirl3335]

[@Kemdizzle.]

Loud House is doing better than Spongebob right now so there's hope. Hopefully, it won't be popular for some time, fade into obscurity, then get cancelled like Breadwinners. (Note: I'm happy that Breadwinners died)

[@DragsterRants]

I hope that the show will end with Season 11 and the Third Movie. Right now , the show has the potential to bring back some of its former glory that it had in Season 1-3. Right now, we have Stephen Hillenburg back, new writers and old writers (Like Kaz for example), and fresh animation. Also Nick isn't being dumb and ordering a MASSIVE amount of episodes per season. (Which IMO, is one big reason why Season 6 + 7 were so bad, when you make your writers write that many episodes, it's no wonder why there was little comedy and things were repeated so much) I am enjoying Season 9b so far and the show MIGHT be able to at least get close to the quality it once had with Seasons 9, 10, and 11. I really hope that this third movie will be the shows ending point and we will be able to look at it again with positivity.

[@arstellum1137]

andykishore ***** House Fancy isn't really a bad episode but it's nowhere close to being as good as classic Spongebob. If that episode was released back in Season one or two, it would be regarded as one of, if not the worst episode. The writers did technically write the episodes, but it really goes to show that Stephen Hillenburg played a huge rule in making the show good.

I think it speaks to the quality of early Spongebob that, even after it hit rock bottom, people will still acknowledge how good those early seasons are. Compare this to, say, Family Guy where people will generally say "Family Guy sucks" as a blanket statement. I, personally, used to like Family Guy, but now I struggle to remember why. Spongebob on the other hand, I still think fondly of early episodes like Pizza Delivery and Band Geeks.

[@Fallingwithstyle1995]

I think about this a lot. I don't like having to put a qualifier of "Seasons 1-3 + the movie" on what was once my favorite show. Yet at the same time if I don't do that, and whoever I'm talking to has an impression of SpongeBob based on its Season 6 iteration, they're not thinking about the show I love. So I often wish SpongeBob had its proper conclusion back in 2004. But it didn't. And I can't change that. All I can do is hope that the show can get back on track and regain at least a bit of the glory it once had before it finishes for real. The second movie gave me some hope. Not full confidence, but enough hope for me to grapple with to make an in-depth hour-plus review of it! My passion's still there because of just how strong the show was in its early years. And you know, even if the show doesn't get better, that passion you, me, and anyone watching this video can be presumed to have is how you know the show is true art. Because true art can transcend anything, even a bunch of lesser versions of it. And that's what SpongeBob has done, and no marketing angle can change that.

Spongebob died well over a decade ago for me... it's crazy to think how long ago that is now. I grew up with the show, (well I was a little bit old at the time already) but it stayed with me well into my teenage years. By the time I was around 16 it was over for me. I really think the late 90's to mid 00's were Nick's golden age. Probably around 2004 when Nick was ending a lot of there good shows.

What if their parents buy the DVDs of early seasons?

[@wiiteenchilly4531]

I perfectly agree with what he is saying. Spongebob has lasted way too long and trust me, there are more mediocre and bad episodes than good ones. I can practically say the same thing about Family Guy, the Fairly OddParents, and American Dad to a certain extent. But, ironically, Spongebob and Family Guy have gotten so popular that there is no way they're gonna end anytime soon. Prepare for Family Guy Season 20 and Spongebob Season 15. Possibly more...........

[@lukerbom12]

Very interesting Square Theory. I personally have nothing but agreement with your second point, but as far as the first, I have a couple of things to note: I feel like SpongeBob's legacy will never die because a lot of people I know haven't seen the newer seasons and to be honest, aren't even aware that the show is still running. They just remember it as this awesome show that they grew up with, and that really won't change. The Simpsons, which has been a franchise zombie way longer than SpongeBob, still has a great legacy. I feel like it might help the legacy for all of us who care a little bit more about the Nick/cartoon culture, but to the average viewer, I feel like they'll always remember SpongeBob the same way. I'm not saying that I disagree or you are wrong in your first point because it will certainly change the way SOME people see the show, but from my experience and opinion, I'm not sure that it will for everyone. Do you have any friends, not in this online community, but just friends who probably watched these shows when they are younger? If so, how do they feel? I'm curious if your experiences are different or similar to mine.

I actually liked Back at the Barnyard. It wasn't the best, but not terrible. I actually found joy in watching it. It lasted for 2-3 long seasons, but it lasted from 2007-2011. Not too bad, even though they had a hiatus in the 2010-2011 TV season. It ended rather well with a final, silly double length episode.

[@shnick1990]

Since Rugrats (at least in my opinion) didn't become insultingly bad, another set of Spongebob episodes that are WORSE than the already infamous ones would certainly lead to it dying out and perhaps meeting a fate worse than what Rugrats got...

[@shnick1990]

***** I can see what you mean by that. I didn't say the later seasons were good (I don't really enjoy them either). What I meant was that I didn't find episodes from the later seasons to be outright offensive to their audience (which Spongebob has done on numerous occasions).

[@shnick1990]

***** It is stuff that really feels like it's meant only for little kids, but it's otherwise mostly harmless. At least there's no episodes where characters try to drive other characters to commit suicide...

Originally Spongebob was gonna get cancelled when the movie was made. Although, since they got so much money from the movie they continued it. But then it is rumored that the 3rd spongebob movie will end it. So I pray to god it does die. But then it was my favorite show as a kid and somewhat now

Woah this is pretty accurate

[@RyanStorey1231]

To quote the Nostalgia Critic from his Top 11 The Simpsons Episodes: "I wish [Spongebob] would just DIE, so we can talk about how great it was!" Honestly, though, I see Spongebob continuing until one of the main voice actors dies. When that happens, I think that the show will finally end because I know that the executives know how distinctive and colorful the voice actors' performances are. Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke are those characters and no one could ever replace them, and I would like to think that the network and the creative team working on the show know that. And the unfortunate occurrence of one of the voice actors passing away soon is plausible. I know that Roger Bumpass (Squidward) is nearing seventy. So I think the show will end when one of the main voice actors dies. Those voices cannot be replaced, and everyone knows that. (Although, I have been told that my Squidward and especially my French narrator voice are pretty spot-on, so Nickelodeon... Call me! :D) Also, say what you will about how bad the modern episodes have been, but at least the show knows what it is and has never tried to do anything drastic- like, Fairly Odd Parents. At this point, modern Fairly Odd Parents is worse than modern Spongebob. I honestly don't care whether Spongebob gets cancelled or not. I want Fairly Odd Parents to die. When Spongebob does end, though, I will be extremely sad- no matter what note it ends on. Throughout my childhood, Spongebob was really the one constant thing and it really was substantial in forming my generation's sense of humor. When it ends, it will be extremely sad for me.

[@poorqualityproductions2942]

+RyanX1231 Many voice actors from the simpsons have died, yet the show STILL goes on.

[@RyanStorey1231]

+Poor Quality Productions 2 Yeah, but only the voices for the side characters. The main characters' voice actors are very much still alive. And besides, on that show, if an actor dies or decides to leave, the writers can always kill them off. They can't exactly do that on Spongebob.
