"Spongebob Squarepants" first aired on Nickelodeon on May 1, 1999, and has been gracing television sets since that day. It is hard for me to remember a time in my life where Spongebob did not exist. But recently, it has come to my attention that not all people who in their childhood were allowed to watch the sponge who lived in a pineapple under the sea. I personally find this to be a tragedy. I have decided to take on the responsibility of filling all of you in. For those of you who were deprived of this work of art, here are a few answers to questions you may have had.
Who is Spongebob Squarepants?
According to Wikipedia, Spongebob is "an energetic and optimistic sea sponge who lives in a sea pineapple and loves his job as a fry cook." The show is based on his outlook on life and the shenanigans he and his undersea friends get into. His good intentions and positivity tend to create chaos.
Who are Spongebob's friends?
From left to right: Plankton is Spongebob's enemy who is trying to steal the secret recipe for the Krusty Krab and owns the Chum Bucket (a rival restaurant). Mr. Krabs is Spongebob's boss and owner of the Krusty Krab. Sandy is a squirrel from Texas who lives in an underwater tree dome. Next to Spongebob is Squidward, his grumpy neighbor who plays the clarinet. He also works at the Krusty Krab but hates it. Patrick lives next to Squidward and isn't the brightest, but he is Spongebob's best friend. Gary is Spongebob's pet snail.
Where does Spongebob live?
Spongebob lives under the sea in Bikini Bottom. He specifically lives on 124 Conch Street.
Who created Spongebob?
Spongebob was created by Stephen Hillenberg who is a marine biologist. He presented his idea for the show to Nickelodeon by bringing a fish tank into the board room. He explained all of the living creatures inside and then placed a drawing of Spongebob inside and said, "This is Spongebob, the star of your new show." He also directed "Rocko's Modern Life."
