Fools in April / Neptune's Spatula - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: In "Neptune's Spatula", Patrick takes a picture of SpongeBob holding the spatula. When this happens, we can see that SpongeBob is a little worried because clouds have appeared there. However, after a while, Patrick shows the picture to Neptune, and we can see that in the picture SpongeBob is smiling and pointing with the spatula.

Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple - S1-E5

Audio problem: In "Pizza Delivery," when you see them being sucked towards the whirlpool (wide shot of whirlpool). Squidward says, "Let go of the pizza." several times before they actually get caught up in the whirlpool. But the time where he says the line and it automatically cuts to his face, when you see his face, it is the end of him saying the line so you hear, ".izza." You hear that, but when you see a close up of his face, his mouth is completely shut.

Arrgh! / Rock Bottom - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: In "Rock Bottom" when Spongebob is on line and the egg cracks, you can see the cracked pieces on the ground and then when he does his (in pants) "Barnacles, tartar sauce" you can't see the egg pieces.

Sandy's Rocket / Squeaky Boots - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: In "Squeaky Boots", Mr. Krabs starts hearing squeaky sounds everywhere. Then he goes mad, and says he took the boots from SpongeBob. In this point, notice of the restaurant floor's color. Mr.Krabs somehow lifts the whole restaurant but we can still see some floor (where Krab is). Notice that now the color of the floor has changed.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy / Pickles - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy", when SpongeBob and Patrick are watching TV viewing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy show, you can see that these heroes have 5 fingers on their hands, as the real human beings. However, when SpongeBob and Patrick meet these heroes, as in the rest of the show, you can see that now, the heroes, have 4 fingers on their hands, as cartoon characters usually have.

Sandy's Rocket / Squeaky Boots - S1-E8

Factual error: Sandy's dome is both airtight and watertight to keep any water out of the dome and any air inside the dome. When the rocket, positioned outside of the dome, begins to launch, smoke is coming inside the dome. This shouldn't be able to happen if the dome is airtight and watertight.

Casual Person

Hall Monitor / Jellyfish Jam - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: In episode 1-7, Hall Monitor, Patrick says Spongebob is at the intersection of Conch and Coral, and we then see the street sign. However when we see Spongebob standing on the road, there is only one road, and no intersection.

Jellyfishing / Plankton! - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In "Plankton", when Plankton says tomorrow is his birthday, he is near Spongebob's thumb. When the camera zooms in on Plankton, he is instantly in the middle of Spongebob's hand.

The Chaperone / Employee of the Month - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Spongebob is crying next to the employee of the month wall, (just before he says "How could I have let the quality of my work slip so much?") the order of the pictures is messed up. It goes December, February, January. Then, when we see the close-up of Squidward's face laughing, the order is correct again.

Arrgh! / Rock Bottom - S1-E17

Revealing mistake: At the beginning of Rock Bottom, when the bus pulls up in front of Patrick and SpongeBob, right before Patrick steps up onto the bus, SpongeBob's right arm is missing and it suddenly appears as he starts moving.

Spongebob's Last Stand - S7-E22

Mr. Krabs: Alright, Plankton! It's Eugene Krabs, here, with, What's-His-Name! Now come on out!
Plankton: I can't.
Mr. Krabs: Come on outside, and take what's coming to you!
Plankton: I really can't come outside!
SpongeBob: Why not?
Plankton: Because I'm already out here, you bumbling bottom feeders! Open your eyes for crying out loud!

Chosen answer: You need to provide a little bit more information to be able to answer a question like this. In what region is it not being shown? I see it being replayed here in Australia fairly frequently. As for a general reason, there does not appear to be any for why it specifically might have been taken off the air in any country or region. Like any show certain episodes can sometimes not be replayed for long periods for unknown reasons.
