Anybody who's seen both the old Spongebob episodes and the newer Spongebob episodes knows what I'm talking about. First, I'll talk about the older episodes. Spongebob was one of the best, if not the best, shows on Nickelodeon. The characters were completely original, the humor was great, and it became an instant classic. Just about everybody who's seen just a few episodes can memorize the whole Bikini Bottom layout (Spongebob's, Patrick's and Squidward's houses, the Krusty Krab, the Chum Bucket, ect.) As I sais before, it was a great show.

Now lets talk about Spongebob now. The humor has become stale, the plots are predictable and often unnecessary, and overall, the show itself has declined in every way. Every other episode will involve somebody getting their skin ripped off (not to say this never happened in the older episodes, but never this much). But the most gruesome episodes are the entire season 6. Its just disgusting. First there's the gross splinter episode, then you see more disassembling of body parts and showings of organs than probably all the other seasons combined. And I'm sure a lot of you will remember a certain scene involving a couch. I'm literally shuddering right now, just thinking of the godawful scene. I admit I do watch way more gorey things than I'm supposed to, but I can't even watch this scene without looking away or tucking in my toes. ugh.

In conclusion, Spongebob is way past it's time for cancellation. It had a good run up to, I'd say late 2009, but its really just time to stop. But there's a problem.

Nickelodeon is stuck in a position where If it does cancel Spongebob, Its practically nothing. It has no other shows to fall back on, and will just die. And if it doesn't cancel Spongebob, It will just just run it's way straight to the ground. The only way I could see it working is if Nickelodeon makes another show as good as Spongebob. But we all know thats never going to happen. I'm not saying the new episodes are bad. They're actually pretty good compared to the other shows ( So many unneeded CGI shows sad ). Its just time to pull the plug.

Who agrees with me?

Nick needs to get MLP or something, living in the UK it is very hard to watch MLP on TV and with Hasbro removing all these episodes from the internet I can't see myself being a massive fan of the show if I can't even watch it. There's 1 channel which shows MLP on Sky, once per day at 5am, 5am, I don't want to pay £15 per month for 1 channel which doesn't show it a lot.

Spongebob was good, but they've met a dead end and they're really running out of good stories, it'd be good if they did repeats of the old series after stopping its production.

Which is the couch scene?

I would actually like it if Nickelodeon died

They need to bring back MLAATR.

The reason they canceled it?

Vexus's voice actor died.

Nickelodeon, I applaud your failure of a life now.

You can find a boatload of people to voice snobby gross idiots, but no-one to voice a [removed] alien lady? \_(>.<)_/

First of all, there is a site with all the episodes. [Insert random link text here]
I agree, the episodes lost humor. They used to be funny, but now there are great injuries in every episode, kids are becoming dumb because of it, etc. It needs to be canceled, but nick would close down if it is.

I said on TV, I know where to watch it online.

The new SB episodes aren't awful. I saw the trenchbilllies and the volcano episide at my cousin's house, and they were decent. Not awful.

Alternatives · 2012-01-16 07:54:04

I don't think the quality has dropped much really.

Earthboundjeff · 2012-01-16 08:12:21

Nick needs something really good, like cult following good to even start back into my good graces.

slapperbob · 2012-01-16 08:48:23

IMO, it was more like this like this:

1999-2004 Great
2005-2009 Ehh... It's okay.
2010-2011 Getting better.

henley · 2012-01-16 08:52:38

You don't know how much I agree with you, AnimeCreatorArtist.

You put all of my inner thoughts in to words on my box of lights.

fire219 · 2012-01-16 09:08:20

Yea, the new Spongebob episodes suck, but it is about the only show left on there that is even remotely decent. Most of the shows now are the Adventure Time-type shows that have 0 humor to them, and make absolutely NO sense.

nickbrickmaster · 2012-01-16 09:11:17

meh.
I don't watch tv.

Adventure Time is the best show on TV.

Replace "best" with "worst", and you are completely correct. smile

I have tried to, but it is too stupid for me to watch more than a minute or two before having to change the channel to keep my sanity.

I just don't see what is so funny about "Lumpy Space Princess". tongue

Yeah Spongebob needs to go, but I don't know if Nick would still die. iCarly, Victorious, and Big Time Rush are all powerhouses.

16Skittles · 2012-01-16 09:54:19

TeenNick is pretty good, it has all the old shows like Drake and Josh.

iCarly used to be good but is now total *
Victorious is kind of entertaining, I guess, but it's not really a powerhouse
Big Time Rush was never good.

You just said what would sue you if SOPA was passed.

If it gets passed, I'd delete this topic as fast as you can.

But, on topic, yeah, it should be cancelled, or at least start getting more like the old, better episodes. I never thought there'd be a day when Spongebob was worse than MLP (sorry, bronies out there, but it's true), but it's happening.

Umm, no... It doesn't have any copyrighted material n it, so I do not see what you are talking about.
