On lost at sea (I think that was the one) they had it edited.

Really???

That is just stupid, not only was that the funniest part of that particular episode, but I didn't see it as anything dangerous!!!

Can't they just show it without worrying about everything!

They cut it...argh. Too late now, there's nothing we can do now. I guess they could start a disc replacement, but it's too much work.

Here is the artwork for Spongebob Season 4 Vol 1 releasing September 12:



I wonder what's with the sudden change of 1 less disc and half the episodes missing. Nick gone greedy? Or uneven number of episodes problem from season to season?

Season 1
41 episodes
3 discs

Season 2
39 episodes
3 discs

Season 3
21 episodes
3 discs

Season 4
20 episodes
2 discs

Edit: My bad, Thanks Lazario! I totally forgot that we're already on season 4.

we are lucky if we get 1 or 2 episodes a year now

Are you referring to new episodes on Nick?

correct, unless they have changed things now, They had been advertising a new episode every couple of weeks

Why did Nick release SpongeBob SquarePants Season 4 Volume 1 on the same day that Smallville Season 5 and Grey's Anatomy Season Two comes out.

We might see price reductions for Season 1 to 3 of SpongeBob SquarePants on September 12.

I understand now! It's volume sets because there hasn't been many new episodes to release 4th season as a whole set, or that they haven't made new episodes yet.

Yup. http://www.epguides.com/spongebobsquarepants/

I can't wait for this! Great cover art! Yeah Nickelodeon hasn't really showed enough episodes yet for a whole complete season like the other three volumes.Thanks for posting cover art magicalwands!

I look forward to this. I know they kinda stopped making newer episodes for a while when the movie was going on, but can't they put more effort into getting newer episodes out sooner? It seems they're doing a better job of it lately. But for some reason, it seems we haven't gotten a lot of episodes that are out on the 3 seasons we have now, but that just could be my imagination (and I do have a pretty wild one).

Season 3 has 3 discs.

How many episodes were in Season 4? This release is fabulous news indeed, it's been awhile since Season 3 was released, but... unless Season 4 had up to 25% more episodes than Seasons 1-3, this sounds like a bit of a money-grubbing scam.

Anyway, I think this will be the last full-season I get on DVD (one day). I'm also not getting this until Volume 2 is released, is itself a 2-disc set, and this Volume 1 set has almost the same exact number of episode halfs the other 3 sets had. This still sounds fishy to me.

There are still new episodes being shown for season four so all the seaon hasn't been shown that is why they releasing the ones that have shown in this set.

That's very strange - that means this 4th season has lasted nearly 2 years. Season 1 was '99-00, 2 was '00-01, 3 was '02-03, so now this makes '04 - ... 06?! No one from the cast died, did they?

When the movie was being made, they made only 6 or so new episodes to show, so they could focus on the movie. Then after the movie, they started slowly, but surely, making and airing new episodes.

I honestly never considered that. But didn't the movie get mixed at best, mostly negative reviews?

What does the reviews the movie got have to do with any of this?

That's an interesting double-edged question. On the one hand, I see this film's critical reviews couldn't stop the legions of fans from going to the theater to watch it (which didn't stop The Real World movie from going down in flames). On the other hand, if no one in the respectable critical field appreciates their work, what was it worth? Money doesn't always equal respect.

Well, whether critics appreicated the movie or not, I doubt that affected how long it took to draw the movie (and a hand-drawn one at that!) frame by frame. The film didn't seem to hurt the show's popularity at all, and the film made a significant amount at the Box Office (however, I could have seen it doing more). So basically, just because the film wasn't up to standard, doesn't mean that they worked any less hard on it.

Maybe David Hasselhoff cursed it
