Title: SpongeBob nearing its end? Not even close!
Post by: cmonkey on February 27, 2006, 10:29:23 am
The episode Lost in Time, which aired exactly a week ago, was not only the most watched SpongeBob episode in the history of the show, but was also the most watched show in the last 5 years of Nickelodeon, with 8.6 million viewers.  The details are all in a Viacom press release (http://www.prnewswire.com/news/index_mail.shtml?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/02-23-2006/0004288085&EDATE=).  Some of the more interesting figures are that SpongeBob gets over 57.8 million viewers per month, and there have been 200+% increases in viewership since last year.

So, no need to fear.  SpongeBob is stronger than ever, though the percent increases over last year are likely due to the fact that the first few months of last year were pretty slow on new releases.

Thats some great news then! Roll on Spongebob :)

I'm guessing those stats are for America only? If so, I'll have to see if I can find out the UK's one.

I didn't expect that. I thought that its popularity was declining, as do all shows. Happy to hear this though.

It's popularity is rising. Mostly due to Nick's airing of older episodes.

I guess so. As Rabble said, the episodes are getting worse, btu that doesn't matter if they show old ones that people like to watch!

the show might not be more appealing to us, but it may be more appealing to little tykes or sumthing.

It obviously does not end until it ends.  It was supposed to end after season 3 and again after season 4, but more episodes were ordered each time.
