https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/spongebob-squarepants-renewed-season-15-nickelodeon-1235740263/ Confirmed it will have 26 episodes again.

JCM Fights a Marker Menace (Part 1) (Cha is in her classroom teaching a large group of students including Meko.) Cha: Today, we're going to learn about the evolution of SpongeBob's art style. (Cha presses a button on a remote, and a picture of SpongeBob's season 1 design appears on the monitor behind her.) Cha: This is what SpongeBob looked like in season 1. (Cha presses the button again, and the picture changes to a picture of SpongeBob's season 13 design.) Cha: And this is what SpongeBob looks like now. (Cha presses the button again, and many different iterations of SpongeBob appear on the monitor now.) Cha: This is every SpongeBob design we've seen so far. Make sure you take a picture of this, because it will be on the quiz. (Every student except Meko takes out a phone to take a photo of what's on the monitor while Meko raises his hand.) Cha: Yes, Meko? Meko: Where's MarkerBob? Cha: (rolls eyes) There's no such thing as MarkerBob. Meko: But there's mountains of evidence of MarkerBob's existence! Cha: Who's the art teacher here? Meko: I know he's real! I've seen him! Cha: If you can find a single shot of MarkerBob in a single SpongeBob episode, I'll acknowledge that you're right, but otherwise, these are the designs we're sticking with. Meko: I accept your challenge! (Meko runs out of the classroom.) Cha: Wait! There's still an hour and a half left in this class! (sighs) Whatever. (Meko spends the rest of the day in the school library watching every episode of SpongeBob seasons 2 and 3. As he starts Pranks a Lot, he drops his head on the computer desk, clearly tired.) Meko: Damn it. I haven't seen any MarkerBob. This doesn't make any sense! (The next morning, Meko goes into JCM's office.) Meko: JCM, I have a problem. JCM: And I have a solution! Meko: You know about MarkerBob, right? JCM: I do not! Meko: It's a SpongeBob design where SpongeBob has really thick lines that was supposedly used in certain episodes of SpongeBob seasons 2 and 3, but I went through every episode of both seasons, and I didn't see MarkerBob in any of them! Was it all a lie? JCM: Yeah, probably. Meko: Does that mean I'm crazy for believing in him? JCM: As a shrink, I'm not supposed to use the word "crazy", so instead I'll say you're doozy, not right in the brain, a nut. Meko: What the fuck? How is saying any of that better than saying "crazy"? JCM: But I didn't say "crazy", did I? JCM 1, political incorrectness 0! Meko: (sarcastic) Thanks for the help. (Meko leaves the office.) JCM: You're welcome! Make sure to leave me 5 stars on Google Reviews! I could use it! (As Meko walks to his locker, he finds a giant pickle with a face leaning beside it.) Pickle man: I heard you're looking for MarkerBob. Meko: I was, but sadly, he isn't real. Pickle man: What if I told you...he was? (The pickle man coughs out a piece of paper with an address on it.) Pickle man: Go there if you want to learn more. Meko: Did you...shove that down your throat? Pickle man: Well, I don't wear clothes, so it's not like I had many other places to put it! Meko: I'm not touching that! It has saliva all over it! Pickle man: That's not saliva. It's vinegar. Maybe a bit of LSD, too, but I need something to keep me going. Meko: Fine. (Meko takes the piece of paper from the pickle man and reads the address on it.) Meko: I know where that is! I can get there on my bike! (Meko makes sure nobody is watching before he leaves the school and gets on his bike. He reaches an abandoned Toys R Us and walks inside. He notices all of the shelves are empty except for one, which has a yellow SpongeBob-themed tablet on it. Meko presses a button on the tablet, and Bubble Buddy starts playing on its screen.) Meko: There it is! That's MarkerBob! Why didn't the version of this at the school have him? (Suddenly, the screen goes dark.) Meko: Of course it dies now! (Meko hears a familiar laugh behind him. He turns around and sees MarkerBob in the flesh staring back at him.) Meko: What the fuck? MarkerBob: You're the first person in five years to release me from this prison! Thank you for believing in me. Meko: Is this the LSD? MarkerBob: You must have met my pickle friend. Unfortunately, that awful thing had to be held by a human to free me, but here you are, and here I am! Meko: So...what are you going to do now? MarkerBob: I'm going to unleash the Marker Holocaust! Bye! (MarkerBob skips out of the Toys R Us.) Meko: Well, that doesn't sound good! (In the SpongeBob Community School, Cha walks into the teacher's lounge, where Fred and JCM are watching a video on Fred's phone.) Fred: Cha, have you seen this? (Fred shows Cha the video, which has footage of MarkerBob stabbing random people with a marker who then vanish.) Cha: No! This can't be possible! JCM: I guess Meko was right all along. We owe him an apology. Cha: We need to kill MarkerBob first. JCM: That will be easy! I have superpowers, you know! (Suddenly, the door to the teacher's lounge opens and MarkerBob walks in.) JCM: Sorry! Faculty only! MarkerBob: I just wanted to borrow your whiteboard, since you do have the biggest whiteboard in all of Circuit City in this room. Fred: The better to count down the days until we no longer have to watch other people's kids! (Fred uses a dry erase marker to draw a line on a whiteboard next to 13 other lines.) Fred: (tearing up) Just 166 more days. MarkerBob: I'll borrow that, too! (MarkerBob snatches the marker from Fred's hand and uses it to draw a circle on the whiteboard which then starts to glow.) MarkerBob: You ever watch that show ChalkZone? JCM: Ooh, I loved ChalkZone. MarkerBob: Well, let me introduce the three of you to...the MarkerZone. (MarkerBob jumps into the circle and disappears.) Fred: We aren't going in after him, are we? Cha: No, of course not. (MarkerBob pokes his head out of the circle.) MarkerBob: If you three don't come and visit, I'll send you there permanently the same way I did that to all of those other people. You decide. (MarkerBob disappears again.) Fred: (sighs) I guess we have no choice, then. JCM: Don't worry, guys! I'll be right behind you! Hey look, a nickel! (JCM runs out of the teacher's lounge to chase a nickel rolling down the hallway.) Fred: This is going to be a disaster, won't it? Cha: Yeah, probably. (Fred and Cha climb into the circle as JCM runs after the nickel, which is getting kicked down the hallway by busy students.) JCM: I'll have you one of these days, Thomas Jefferson! Just you wait! (To Be Continued)

To celebrate 30 years and the end of the show, here's a little thing Ex and I made for fun. Hope the two other Power Rangers fans on SBC enjoy. Go go Power Rangers, you mighty messed up obscure morphin characters! Heroes and Allies Trey of Triforia (Zeo) The Trey trio became furious that they were forgotten to time, believing they are the true Gold Zeo Ranger. In a desperate attempt to regain relevance, they launched a “healing” program which was secretly a scam. It did not go well. They are currently serving life in prison for defrauding the galaxy. Phantom Ranger (Turbo) Many had wondered for years who the mysterious Phantom Ranger’s identity was. It turns out he was none other than The Lightbringer, a fedora wearing man who reviews comics and Power Rangers. After his brief run helping the Turbo rangers, for the next few decades he made it his sworn duty to analyze and fix the plot holes in Power Rangers lore from the shadows. Just don’t ask him when the next History of Power Rangers is. Nova Ranger (SPD) Ever since helping the SPD rangers in their final battle, the Nova Ranger has been the subject of much debate and intrigue. Fortunately for all of those interested, she will be releasing her tell-all memoir “Force from the Future” in 2041 following a cross-timeline tour. The book is said to cover love, loss, and what it truly means to go ‘electro mode.’ Albert Smith (Dino Charge) Prior to meeting the Power Rangers, Albert ran prolific Bigfoot websites dedicated to his existence. Despite faking his proof, the real Sasquatch would go on to contact Albert after his stint as the purple Dino Charge ranger! Sasquatch was so inspired by Albert’s bravery that he wanted to become his friend, helping Albert get over his fear of monsters. They currently own a ranch together. Thor (Operation Overdrive) After meeting the Overdrive rangers, Thor would go on to have a prosperous career in another superhero franchise: the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, after the lukewarm reception to his latest film, he retired and jumped back to Power Rangers, only to realize the Overdrive team has long been out of commission. He now has a job as Harford’s new butler since Spencer retired. Even Gods fall on hard times. Villains Rito Revolto (MMPR) Contrary to popular belief, Rito actually survived the Z-Wave. He went deep underground and eventually opened his own small Italian necromancer themed restaurant on Earth. They say it’s a hit during Halloween. However, despite the joy this restaurant brings, Rito forever lives in a state of paranoia, worried the rangers might come get him. Not a day goes by where he doesn’t stare out the window missing his sister either. Lokar (MMPR) Last seen taking Scorpina to the Talos Dimension, Lokar realized just how lonely he was once it was just the two of them. After many spats, Lokar had begun renting out the Island of Illusions back on Earth, visiting all of the tourists and guests as a giant head. Rides inside of Cyclopsis are $100 an hour. Impostra (Lost Galaxy) Despite vowing to return, Impostra mysteriously vanished and never faced the Galaxy Rangers again. But now we know where she was: helping InnerSloth create the hit game Among Us. It turns out her true passion was developing a true magnum opus game where she could express her special talent, so she turned into a human and pitched the game idea. Rumors say she even streams the game and has amassed an army of simps, one day hoping to use them against the Galaxy Rangers. That’s how you play the long game. Octoroo (Samurai) As Xandred was defeated and his ship was sent sinking, many had believed Octoroo to be long gone. Fortunately, Octoroo was able to call in a favor from former employer Nintendo after doing the Samurai Wii and DS games, and they were able to aid and secure him. He now has a cozy job supplying “medicine” to all Splatfest competitors. Loki (Operation Overdrive) Much like his brother Thor, Loki too would have a prosperous career in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He got his own television show and continues to be a pivotal character in the mythos- just don’t ask him about someone named “Diabolico” Civilians David Trueheart (Zeo) Tommy Oliver’s brother David Trueheart was one of the potential candidates thought to be the Gold Zeo Ranger. While they weren’t associated initially, David would actually be called in as the head of Public Relations in the case of Trey of Triforia. This is due to David meeting Trey one day, who were the actual ones that taught him to teleport. This is the only recorded instance of their powers ever working. Fresno Bob (RPM) When Ziggy saved his life, Fresno Bob felt his entire world view change. Following Venjix’s defeat, he decided to retire from the criminal life and used his money to help the world recover. He rebranded his image into Bob Duncan, star of hit sitcom Good Luck Charlie. Funky Fisherman (Dino Thunder) Funky Fisherman learned a valuable lesson about being a good person to his co-workers after his monstrous experience with Mad Mackeral. His show continued on and he remained a beloved host, but he eventually felt it was time to pass on the torch. He let Marty take the mantle as the new Funky Fisherman while the original decided to pursue a music career. This would lead to various conspiracies about his death, but trust us the experts when we say he’s doing fine. Ice Cream Attendant (Dino Fury) After having his ice stream cart saved by the brave Dino Fury rangers, the Ice Cream Attendant took their heroic deed to heat and sought a new purpose in life. Legends say he later became a famous New Zealand actor, often going by the moniker of “Brughy.” The Old Dumbass Lady Who Doesn’t Know Monsters Exist (Lightspeed Rescue) This fucking lady. This dumb, stupid, ignorant woman. This is where I tell you what they’re up to, and I will, but it pains me to even bring her up. Did she not have a television!? It should be of no surprise to you that she moved away from Mariner Bay shortly after due to an embezzlement scandal involving a hospital for sick children. It’s cruel irony, but she was the monster all along. Good riddance! The End

Actually, from what I read; the "Power Rangers" franchise ISN'T coming to an end, but they are planning to (somehow) reboot it next year, apparently WITHOUT the usage of ANY "Super Sentai" footage whatsoever! I personally don't know how they're going to make THAT work, but I certainly wish them good luck!

we're gonna call you donald duck

So I just finished watching Cosmic Fury and while I liked it, I felt it was rushed, and I while I do like the more open-ended "and the adventure continues" type implications (since the Rangers are still connected to the Morphin Grid and the idea that this is a prequel to Once and Always judging by Billy's last line), it doesn't feel like a true potential "ending" if this IS going to be the last entry in the franchise (as we've known it in the last 30 years) in the same way "Countdown to Destruction" was back in 1998. I've talked about what the "true" problem with Power Rangers is as of late on Twitter - and I'll say it again here: the problem is that Hasbro, like Saban before them, are desperately trying to make lightning strike twice the same way MMPR did back in 1993; however they're doing so incorrectly by trying either to reboot it or (in Simon Bennett's case) trying to divorce it from the tokusatsu genre. Now, on the other side of the spectrum, there are Sentai purists who despise PR and see it as either a "blight" on tokusatsu or an ooutdated relic of 1980s/90s style "Americanizations" of Japanese media. And while I can agree that PR is admittedly rooted in a now-out-of-fashion practice, the solution is not to dub Sentai a la modern anime dubs (both for practical and values dissonance-related reasons). The real problem with Power Rangers as a franchise is that it tries too hard to chase that magic and rest on its laurels without realizing what made MMPR good in the first place - it wasn't unique admittedly, and the plots and characters (especially early on) could be goofy at times. But MMPR had good writing and characterizations, and could be something anyone could enjoy.

Having just finished watching Cosmic Fury, this was wild and wonderful. Happy 30th, PR. Thanks for everything.

I'm back with the first major update to the Games page in six months! Due to an update to the emulator for the Flash games, most of them should be playable now. The games that have been tested and are guaranteed to work are under the Working Games section of the page now. 40 games have been tested so far, including all of the Halloween-themed games, which are colored in orange. I'll try to get the rest of them tested over the weekend, but you're free to play as many as you want, of course, and if you do notice any under Working Games that don't actually work, please message me here or on Discord and I'll try to address it as soon as possible.

On the bright side, the makers of THIS movie have the advantage of knowing what NOT to do when making a movie LIKE "Five Nights At Freddie's" (something that "The Banana Splits 'Film'" honestly didn't have and something that "Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey" for some reason CHOSE to ignore); so statistically speaking, it has a BETTER chance of being a better movie than THOSE two attempts! Enough said, true believers!

will i get un ban from sbm in a week?
