Twitter lit up this week with rumors that the popular
Nickelodeon cartoon series SpongeBob Squarepants
would be canceled in early 2014. The hashtag
#SaveSpongebob briefly trended, prompting the television
network to directly respond to the rumor.
Spongebob is not being canceled.
The following graphic which claimed the popular series
would be canceled on January 28, 2014 was heavily
shared on Twitter:
Nickelodeon confirmed in a tweet on December 11 that
the #SaveSpongebob campaign was “Nothing more than
a hoax.” The network also confirmed that “We’ve got new
episodes in 2014 and the movie coming out 2015.”
SpongeBob Squarepants debuted in 1999 and has
generated billions in merchandise and advertising revenue
for Nickelodeon. The title character has been voiced by
Tom Kenny since its inception. Kenny has also been the
subject of various internet hoaxes over the years,
including a “death hoax” which circulated in January
2013.
Bottom Line
Spongebob Squarepants is not being canceled. This is
simply a rumor which Nickelodeon has denied.
