He chose SquarePants as a family name as it referred to the characters square shape and it had a nice ring to it.

The SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete 1st Season DVD was released in Region 1 on October 28, 2003, Region 2 on November 7, 2005, and Region 4 on November 30, 2006.

The pilot episode, Help Wanted, was not included on the DVD due to copyright issues with the song Livin in the Sunlight, Lovin in the Moonlight by Tiny Tim, which appears in the episode, but was later released as a bonus feature on various series DVDs, including that of the third season.

The season received positive reviews from media critics upon release.

He then later started drawing several rough sketches.

In 1992, Hillenburg began to attend the California Institute of the Arts to study animation, having been accepted into the institute by Jules Engel, who was impressed with Hillenburgs previous work.

During his time at the California Institute of the Arts, he made his thesis film entitled Wormholes, 1 which was funded by the Princess Grace Foundation and was later displayed at various animation festivals.

In 1995, Joe Murray, creator of Rockos Modern Life, met Hillenburg at an animation festival, and offered him a job as a director of the series.

SpongeBobs best friend, a starfish named Patrick Star, was voiced by Bill Fagerbakke, 16 while Rodger Bumpass played the voice of Squidward Tentacles, an arrogant and ill-tempered octopus.

Other members of the cast were Clancy Brown as Mr.

Krabs, a miserly crab obsessed with money and SpongeBobs boss at the Krusty Krab; 18 Mr.

Lawrence as Plankton, a small green copepod and Mr.

Krabs business rival; 19 Jill Talley as Karen, Planktons sentient computer wife; 20 Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy Cheeks, a squirrel from Texas; 21 Mary Jo Catlett as Mrs.

Puff, SpongeBobs boating school teacher; 22 and Lori Alan as Pearl Krabs, a teenage whale who is Mr.

Krabs daughter. 23 24.

Kenny forgot the voice initially as he created it only for that single use.

Hillenburg, however, remembered it when he was coming up with SpongeBob and used a video clip of the episode to remind Kenny of the voice.

Kenny said that SpongeBobs high pitched laugh was specifically aimed at being unique, stating that they wanted an annoying laugh in the tradition of Popeye and Woody Woodpecker.

Hillenburg originally had Mr.

Lawrence for the role of voicing Squidward.

Drymon said We knew Doug from Rocko, where he was a storyboard director and where he also did the voice of Filburt.

We were showing Doug the storyboard, and he started reading back to us in his Tony the TigerGregory Peck voice.

It was really funny, and we wound up having SpongeBob use a deep voice when he entered the Krusty Krab for the first time.

Hillenburg loved the voice and decided to let Lawrence play a variety of incidental characters, including Plankton.

Former McHales Navy actors Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway reunited for their first joint TV project in 33 years as guest actors portraying SpongeBobs favorite superheroes, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, respectively.

Borgnine said We he and Conway played off each other.

Were supposed to be underwater, you know.

They would reprise their role in the episode Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II, which also guest starred Charles Nelson Reilly as their nemesis, the Dirty Bubble.

In the episode Scaredy Pants, a Halloween special, American band the Ghastly Ones performed a special musical performance, 31 while Brian Doyle-Murray voiced the Flying Dutchman.

American country guitarist and singer Junior Brown made a vocal cameo, performing the song Texas in the episode of the same name.

In Neptunes Spatula, John OHurley appeared as King Neptune.

John Lurie and Jim Jarmusch (who collaborated to make the films Stranger Than Paradise and Down by Law ) made a cameo as themselves in the episode Hooky, 37 through excerpts from the Bravo serial, Fishing with John.

Drymon said We didnt come up with too many ideas that day.

Story editor Peter Burns left, and the crew had Merriwether Williams to overtake.

Hillenburg said to Williams that it was her responsibility to get us the writers to come up with new ideas.

Drymon said It is a tall order.

Williams gave Drymon a book called Zen in the Art of Writing, written by Ray Bradbury, that catalogs a collection of essays about writing processes.

One of the ways in the book to inspire plots was to write nouns that interested him Bradbury on a note card and hang them in his office.

He felt just having the word in his eyesight would get his mind working.

Williams took this scheme and made it into a writing exercise.

In writing meetings, the staff would all enumerate 10 nouns on strips of paper and place them in a hat.

The hat would be passed throughout and a writer would have a limited time to spawn an idea based on the noun he wrote.

Drymon said It would almost always start a discussion, and we wound up getting a lot of episodes out of it.

Furthermore, Drymon said that Williams really came up with a great addition to the process.

The first season of SpongeBob was done the old-fashioned way on cells, and every cell had to be part-painted, left to dry, paint some other colors.

Its still a time-consuming aspect of the process now, but the digital way of doing things means it doesnt take long to correct.

The season was storyboarded and written by Sherm Cohen, Derek Drymon, Steve Fonti, Stephen Hillenburg, Chuck Klein, Jay Lender, Chris Mitchell, Mark OHare, Aaron Springer, Paul Tibbitt, Ennio Torresan, Vincent Waller, and Erik Wiese.

The idea was to keep everything nautical so the crew used lots of rope, wooden planks, ships wheels, netting, anchors, and boilerplate and rivets.

Three of its episodes won Best Sound Editing in Television Animation at the 2000 Golden Reel Awards.

It consisted of the episodes Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and Pickles for Music, while the Karate Choppers won for the Sound.

In 2001, Rock Bottom and Arrgh also won the Golden Reel Awards for Best Sound Editing in Television Animation Sound, while Fools in April and Neptunes Spatula were nominated for Best Sound Editing in Television Animation Music.
