Show generally

Corrected entry: The location of the Krusty Krab or Spongebob's house must change often, as Spongebob often leaves his home and goes to the right or to the left to go to work, also the distance between them also changes.

Mark English

Correction: We can't see the Krusty Krab from his house, maybe he just likes to take different routes on different days.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode "Missing Identity", Patrick throws trash in SpongeBob's face. When Patrick is going to clean SpongeBob he finds a disc on the trash. That disc wasn't there before.

Correction: Yes, it was.

Correction: As long as I have watched the show it is always there.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In "Idiot Box," Squidward takes a sombrero out of a box and says, "Why haven't I worn this?" This is the same sombrero he later wears in "The Camping Episode."

Correction: No, the one in "Idiot Box" was smaller than the one in "The Camping Episode."

Correction: Not enough information to be able to make an accurate comparison. Plus how can you be even sure its the same character?

Lummie

Correction: The ingredients of the Krabby Patty has stayed the same throughout the entire show.

Lummie

Correction: How this is a mistake? Their houses are not right next to the town. Most of them are quite distant from the centre of town.

Lummie

Correction: Why should it be? It's not close to the main town centre. Almost none of the major characters' houses are shown when Bikini Bottom is shown as a whole.

Corrected entry: Here's some sad news...I heard Spongebob is cancelled. The last episode will air in January 2005, based on what I've heard. For more info, you might want to follow this URL: http://www.tvtome.com/SpongeBobSquarePants/.

Correction: Those were the rumors a few months ago, but now it's officially not. A source says there will be twenty episodes in 2005, so it probably won't be cancelled anytime soon.

Correction: It might be that some parts of the house have thicker and thicker walls, so that the interior has corners, while the exterior is circular. I have an attic, where from the outside it looks like it should have a ceiling that is 'pointed' upwards, but is actually a normal looking room. So basically in Spongebob's house, an overheard shot minus the roof might look like a rectangle (or many rectangles) in a circle. (Another thing - the hallway that contains two sets of stairs opposite each other that spiral down and lead to the kitchen IS circular/cylindrical).

Show generally

Corrected entry: Sandy has a suit on when she's walking around Bikini Bottom. On the square on the suit, it either has 3 dots OR an acorn. Does it change by itself?

Correction: Sandy probably has 2 suits.

Correction: "Christmas Who?" is actually a flashback - Patchy the Pirate, in the present, is telling the story of Bikini Bottom's first Christmas. Therefore, the time that Patrick learns about Christmas could have actually occurred sometime before the story in "Jellyfishing", thus explaining Patrick's knowledge of the holiday.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Spongebob is repeatedly referred to, as a square, when in actual fact, the largest surface area on Spongebob which holds his face, is an irregular trapezium.

Correction: Well that would hardly sound as good in the theme song, would it? He is actually a cuboid, but I assume they're trying to keep the shapes simple so kids can understand it - it is a kids' show after all.

Besides, people don't refer to SB himself but his trousers, hence the name "Spongebob Squarepants."

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode where Spongebob loses his identity, he constantly has his back to people. His name tag was on his back, so wouldn't someone have noticed it?

Correction: At the beginning when Spongebob first realizes he lost it, Squidward points to Spongebob's back saying something like "Uh...Spongebob..." but gets cut off, so it's fair to assume he saw the nametag and was trying to tell Spongebob. Besides, Spongebob only found out about the inspection at work, so he didn't ask anyone else if they had seen his nametag.

Correction: While Hillenburg did draw a similar character he gave the name Spongeboy to, it was never considered for use in the show and not relevant trivia. There already existed a product using the name Spongeboy.

But it was still the original idea for the show.

No, it was two separate ideas.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the episode when Spongebob and Patrick decide to make a Mermaidman and Barnacle Boy movie, Patrick states at one point that he had the cap on the lens of the camera the whole time. However, during the entire scene before he says this, you can easily see Patrick's camera, and the cap isn't on the camera.

Correction: Patrick mentions putting the cap on right before they start filming.

Flashback

Correction: This happens all the time in the SpongeBob universe. It is an accepted convention that clothes, injuries, and things like paint on Squidward's face, appear and disappear instantly.

wizard_of_gore

Correction: The location of Bikini Bottom changes constantly, The size, shape, color, and location of Patrick's rock, Spongebob's pineapple, and Squidward's tiki head change regularly. It's a cartoon, and it's intentional.

I doubt it. One of the things that people know about the show is that Patrick, Squidward, and Spongebob all live on Conch Street. Why do you think Squidward is so annoyed by Spongebob? He has to live next to and work with him. It makes no sense for the tiki house to be gone.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The pencil is sitting to the right of the paper the entire time. It's hard to notice at first, but it's there.

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.
