When did you start watching SpongeBob, and what was your first episode that you watched (if you can remember it)?

[Nathan Shetka]

my first SpongeBob episode was probably Help Wanted. I remembered it on Nicktoons when I was a kid back in first grade from 2004-2005 when they used to air reruns of the old SpongeBob episodes before they started airing season 4.

I also remembered all the Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy episodes, F.U.N. SpongeBob Meets The Strangler and those other classic episodes

Oh boy, this is my first post/thread ever on SBM, and it's nice to see that people are still replying to it.

But here's another long-ago memory from me:

When I was around 8 or 9, we used to watch SpongeBob at my elementary school's summer camp. We would be in the music room, lights off, watching the show on one of those old TVs on carts. We only had a few episodes that we watched every time, that being Disc 2 of The Complete Second Season. We would always start with Survival of the Idiots, then Dumped, then No Free Rides, and so on. But the episodes that I loved the most out of that disc back then were No Free Rides, Squirrel Jokes, Shanghaied, and Gary Takes a Bath. We rarely saw episodes towards the end of that disc, like Welcome to the Chum Bucket, but we didn't care- we were kids and we loved SpongeBob, and I still remember those memories of lying down on the music room carpet and looking up at the old TV to see MMBB III playing on the DVD.

1999. Scaredy Pants. My mom taped it and IWATG for me because she knew I liked it. That's how I knew there wasn't a cut scene in the latter. I thought Sponge was a pillow before mom told me he was a sponge.

Whenever I was watching Nickelodeon I guess?

Agreed! I remember watching "Sun Bleached" when I was younger. That time, SpongeBob must remember to NOT GET SUNBURNT!

Also, "Stuck in the Wringer" when it re-ran...idk.

when I was a kid, I was 5 years old when I started watching SpongeBob for the first time. it was my first experience with SpongeBob SquarePants.

I remember Auntie Julie telling me that she didn’t let us watch it when she did daycare at her house since I was a baby

Sigh... you poor soul.

The only episode I can remember watching the earliest is like House Sittin For Sandy, but I know for a fact I was watching SpongeBob before then, but my mushy brain wouldn't remember.

back in my day in kindergarten when I still had cable my First SB Episode was Chocolate with Nuts Fun Fact there was a kid named Patrick in my class so I said your name is Patrick from Spongebob SquarePants.

I started watching Spongebob around 2011-2012. I believe the first episode I watched was The Fry Cook Games or any other episodes off the complete second season dvd.
