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 father of the characters is a former marine biologist, Stephen Hillenburg who created the show through the company he owned: United Plankton Pictures. The show can be watched on Nicktoons Network, and the awards have not been few for this production. The first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants show was launched on May 1, 1999, followed by other episodes that gained more popularity from 2000 onwards.
The episodes in SpongeBob SquarePants show lack continuity, which makes it perfect for anyone to watch it without having to refer back to previous events or contexts. Although many characters suffer apparently irreparable accidents, they always get back to normal. For instance, the Krusty Krab, the main restaurant in Bikini Bottom, the setting of the story, is destroyed on several occasions, and it seems like every time it is beyond repair. Lots of these so-called horrific events occur because one of SpongeBob’s mishaps. The great part of this cartoon series is that adults and children can watch it alike: some subtleties and ironies will often escape the understanding of children but will surely entertain older watchers.
One of the elements that differentiates SpongeBob SquarePants show from other similar productions of the Nickelodeon network is the contribution of lots of independent musicians to the series soundtrack. Flaming Lips, Wilco or Twisted Sister 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 had the largest audience level in the entire history of the SpongeBob SquarePants show. Then, one further reflection of the series into the music world was at the initiative of Metallica to release 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 addressing the teenage audience-group category. Certain lines from the series became part of slang, and this is the case with the famous quote from Mid-Life Crustacean: It’s gonna rock! The quote was taken over by rock radio stations and soon entered the language of many rock fans and adolescents. SpongeBob SquarePants show has definitely laid its imprint on American television, and it is good to think it can give a great laugh out pretext!
