SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series and media franchise. It is currently Nickelodeon's highest rated show, the most distributed property of MTV Networks, and among Nicktoons Network's most-watched shows. Although its original network is Nickelodeon, SpongeBob is now broadcast around the world. It was created by artist, animator and former marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg, and is produced through his production company, United Plankton Pictures Inc. It is the second longest-running Nicktoon, next to Rugrats. The series is set in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, in the fictional city of Bikini Bottom and on the surrounding lagoon floor. The pilot episode first aired in the United States on Nickelodeon after the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on May 1, 1999. The "official" series premiere followed on July 17, 1999, with the second episode, "Bubblestand/Ripped Pants." The series star is a character who is a sea sponge, but in shape and color his body more closely resembles a kitchen sponge. The show reached popularity shortly after the beginning of its second season and has remained popular since. In 2007, Time magazine named it one of the greatest television shows of all time.
