SpongeBob SquarePants
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Nickelodeon’s most popular TV series, SpongeBob SquarePants, of course. With over 250 half-hours and counting, the yellow sponge that premiered in May 1999 is still going strong today.
About The Show
A square yellow sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, in the city of Bikini Bottom on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. He works as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab. During his time off, SpongeBob has a knack for attracting trouble with his starfish best friend, Patrick. Arrogant octopus Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob’s neighbor, dislikes SpongeBob because of his childlike behavior. [via Gracenote]
The Episode List
The episode list and air dates below are for Nickelodeon in the United States. The dates, days and times listed are for their first appearance on the network. The episode codes are official numbers used by the network. The list also includes non-series specials and Nickelodeon premiere dates for theatrical movies.
Note: Episodes listed in a single pair may have originally premiered in a different order. For example, #190 is “Lost in Bikini Bottom / Tutor Sauce”; however, “Lost in Bikini Bottom” premiered after “Tutor Sauce” during the same half-hour.
Medium Confidence There may be certain episode premiere dates in question. Learn more.
Reason: A number of premiere dates between 1999 and 2001 are in question as to their accuracy. What has been assumed for decades isn’t correct. TV listing providers (like TV Guide and Zap2it) and digital platforms (like Amazon and iTunes) are in conflict. Like many of Nick’s ’90s series, TV listings and old internet sites that were edited by anyone (like IMDb and TV Tome, now TV.com) got stuff wrong. Sadly, that incorrect information has been spread for many years since. For now, take the premiere dates listed below (which mainly come from iTunes) as the best guess from 1999 through 2001.
