spongebob squarepants show
SpongeBob SquarePants show is one of the most popular animated TV series broadcast not only in the United States but around the world as well. The man who invented the cartoon characters and started producing the series through his own company, The United Plankton Pictures, was Stephen Hillenburn, a former marine biologist with a vivid imagination. The show can be watched on Nicktoons Network, and it has been often reviewed as one of the greatest television shows in history, on several occasions. The first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants show was launched on May 1, 1999, and several episodes followed immediately that year with the series gaining more and more in popularity and audience ratings.
The episodes in SpongeBob SquarePants show lack continuity, which is a great advantage for anyone to watch it without having to refer back to previous events or contexts. Many of the characters have a tragic fate, but they are soon returned to normal. Eugene Krabs’ restaurant in Bikini bottom gets destroyed several times, and every time it seems like it’s the end. Many of these apparently horrific events occur because one of SpongeBob’s mishaps. Both adults and children will find these cartoons interesting: some subtleties and ironies will often escape the understanding of children but will surely entertain older watchers.
One of the elements that distinguishes SpongeBob SquarePants show from lots of Nickelodeon productions is the contribution of lots of independent musicians to the soundtrack of the series. Wilco, Twisted Sister, The Flaming Lips are just a few names here, but a presence like that of David Bowie will not pass unnoticed, and this was obvious in the Atlantis SquarePantis episode of 2007. This episode registered the largest level of audience in the entire history of the SpongeBob SquarePants show. Then, another connection between the series and the music world was at the initiative of Metallica consisting in the release of t-shirts featuring Patrick and SpongeBob playing live with the group members.
With the increased popularity of the show in the United States and in other parts of the world MTV started broadcasting it, this time targeting the teenage audience-group category. Some famous quotes from the series became part of slang, and this is the case with the famous line from Mid-Life Crustacean: It’s gonna rock! Rock radio stations took over the quote and soon lots of teenagers would use it. SpongeBob SquarePants show has definitely made history, and it is good to think it can give a great laugh out pretext!
