Many people who are now in their late twenties and early thirties still turn on the show as a means of nostalgia and comfort. There are also different streaming services that have made the show easily available to a generation of people who simply don't want to go without it. It is still very easy to find reruns of the show on Nickelodeon and via other means even to this day. In fact, the show was so popular that the network continued to produce new episodes of it all the way until 2015.
SpongeBob first graced television screens on May 1st, 1999 and was a near - instant hit. We are of course referring to the Nickelodeon character known as SpongeBob. From the main character SpongeBob to the beloved friends Patrick Star, Squidward, Mr Krab, Sandy Cheeks, and Plankton, SpongeBob remains on the longest running Nickelodeon show race. Those born anytime after roughly 1985 are probably very familiar with a certain yellow sea sponge character who lives in a pineapple under the sea.
