Nick's new president says they are looking at spin-offs of Spongebob - Sensationalist Headlines

https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/nickelodeon-brian-robbins-spongebob-lego-paddington-john-cena-1203139534/ The decision to broaden “SpongeBob” may be Robbins’ most surprising move. The series has been a staple of Nickelodeon since 1999, which means it has multiple generations of fans to reach. “That’s our Marvel Universe,” Robbins said. “You have this amazing show that’s run for almost twenty years.” While he pledged that Nickelodeon will always make “SpongeBob,” Robbins sees ample room to explore other characters. Among the options on the table are to “tell an original story about SpongeBob and Patrick, or maybe tell a Sandy Cheeks stand-alone story, or can Plankton have his own?” Robbins mused. “I think the fans are clamoring for it.”

This might just be me, but I always thought the episodes centered on other characters were incredibly dull. Spongebob isn't exactly a super deep or intriguing character or anything, but characters like Plankton don't work on their own.

Spinoff series starring that My Leg Fish and a gritty Mermaid-Man and Barnacle-Boy adaptation

if they haven't done it already in nu spongebob, i could see a feature length "Sandy goes home to Texas" episode working out... maybe a mini series... but that's about it. the show may be called spongebob squarepants but all bikini bottom's inhabitants make the show great. focusing on a single one would fail

The creator just fucking dead, wtf

Make another teen show based around Pearl and her high school friends, it would be so coral

Even the fucking Simpsons hasn't stooped to this level thus far.

I don't know, The Depressing Life of Mrs Puff could be a real hit.

Just give me a series finale where it starts like any other episode where its just typical Krusty Krab hi jinx, but Squidward is missing. Suddenly, this song starts getting louder and louder, when suddenly Squiddy busts in through the front door with a pump action shotgun, everything goes silent as Squidward wades through the customers who are paralyzed with fear, before he murders Spongebob, leaves a note with writings on it left to the viewer's imagination, before it cuts to black and you hear Squidward dropping his gun and leaving, followed by the sounds of Police Sirens in the distance, and EMT's arriving at the scene while the standard credits music plays. I think the 10 minute episode timeframe would work perfectly for building the necessary tension and confusion. but like srs just let the show fuckin' go in peace already. Every episode I've seen past the first 3 seasons just kinda sucked at best. I don't even think the first movie was all that good. Kinda good but not that good. Until they do end the show, I'm sticking with my decision that like half the episodes in the first 3 seasons could be a canon ending, IE the one where it ends with them trapped in the forest hailing the magic conch and presumably they just starve to death eventually.

Maybe it's just me, but I think it could be decent if they picked the right characters. If the series was about a young Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, and was played like a super campy 60's super hero tv show, it could be a lot of fun.

Spongebob already had numerous focus episodes for other cast members, why the hell would you just NOW try to make stupid focus spinoffs? Christ almighty.

Bojack is about to get some competition.

This show should have been put out of its misery after Season 3.

This is far from a "Sweet Victory"

If it was something like "The Adventures of Mermaid-Man and Barnacle-Boy" it could be fun as a short series, but they're going to be looking for a 'new' cash cow to milk. Can't wait for the show about Sandy Cheeks trying to impress her monkey bosses. The creators will completely fuck up and call her "Sandy Squirrel" all the time, on top of running an already worn premise into the fucking bedrock. Then we'll have Larry the Lobster and the Goo Lagoon adventures. It's just beach episodes. Or the worst possible option. They make a show about Spongebob's cousin Stanley.

the adventures of mermaid man and barnacle boy sounds pretty neat ngl

havent they been missing because one died

I say go for it, not like it matters anyway. This show died years ago and hasn't been good since.

Tangentially related, but wasn't a "Ren and Stimpy Adult Party" type of cartoon pitched for Spongebob but turned down by the creator? Imagine if they revisited that idea and really did make a Bojack styled spinoff for Mrs Puff

If anything, I'd think that just gives Nick free reign to do whatever they please with the IP.

I was thinking the show's best bet for a spinoff is sandy, since she would be able to frequent land locations and interact with new species of animals without it being treated like a one time trip through weird foreign lands

I'd watch a spin-off about Squidward trying to get some peace and quiet tbh long as they don't turn spongebob and patrick into annoying pricks for plot

"Thats our marvel universe" uhm EXCUSE ME https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/134149/30d308ba-554b-47c9-9328-75bc7b6035db/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/134149/17a872f5-a833-4f65-9b92-e13077c18775/image.png

I could imagine they had these plans for a long time and were just waiting for Stephen to go before pushing it forward.

What if we got a gritty spin-off of Mr. Krabs trying his hardest to save as much money as possible, with him having to constantly flee from the IRS?

Oh, phew! Those are the Spongebob spinoffs they were talking about. Fairly OddParents, Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom, and All Grown Up! I was worried for a second

Real talk if they had good writers I would totally watch a show about Mr. Krabs Reminds me that ever since I was a kid my dad has been constantly saying he wants to give Plankton his own show
