Updated the original post, because Hooky's premiere date was outdated.
As it turns out, the episode originally aired on February 23, 2001 as a standalone U-Pick option. This is backed up by newspaper listings from February 23 including the episode as a candidate, and a VHS recording my friend owns from the actual broadcast. He recently was able to extract the XDS data from the recording's closed captions, confirming the air date beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Mermaidman and Barnacleboy II's premiere date is still the same -- March 3, 2001.

"Once Bitten" originally had a scene with Mr. Krabs selling Krabby Patties to the snail infectees, claiming it was a "home remedy" that would cure their disease in 6 to 8 hours. This was cut for time.

Real bittersweet seeing the site go. TV.com was the first real online social media I ever had where I was actively part of a community.
Also I guess there's no harm in admitting now that my password there was... password. Seriously.
Your guess is as good as mine how my account was never compromised. But I always found that hilarious.

The ending of "Ripping Pants" originally had a scene of SB's crotch being pixelated after his underwear completely rips. This was cut after complaints from the censors mere days after it premiered.

"The Pink Purloiner" originally had a sea bear mistake Confess-a-Bear for its young and scare Patrick away. The sea bear was to go off with Confess-a-Bear, with SpongeBob still talking as Confess-a-Bear and making the sea bear think its kid was a genius. This was changed for being off topic.

Make up your own deleted scene from a SpongeBob episode and rate others' imaginary scenes as well. They can be as realistic or as silly as you wish.
"Doing Time" - Originally the elderly memoir writer crumpled up his work after it got soaked and threw it at Old Man Jenkins in anger. This was cut for encouraging children to waste paper.

Breadwinners is funny.

Ditto on what everybody's said about the end sequence with SpongeBob finally performing his trick. Some of the most imaginative animation in the show yet.

One of my favorites so far this season... though I guess I'm sorta biased here coming as a lifelong nail biter myself. Putting that aside, I thought the execution was great, especially considering the episode could have gotten really gross really easily. There's a couple visual gags that I guess could be seen as *uncomfortable*, but overall, I liked the the episode's satire on this plaguing habit. I thought the visual of SpongeBob chewing on Hans' nails at the end was pretty funny too.

For my once in a blue moon post on SBC's forums, I thought I'd share the results of the research I've been doing on SpongeBob's premiere dates (and Nickelodeon in general). Long story short, if you've noticed the air dates changing recently on Encyclopedia Spongebobia, that's because some of my tape collector friends and I discovered some old TV recordings and forum posts that essentially proved that the dates we've long assumed for Season 1 & 2's premieres were in fact wrong!
Rather than type a whole new explanation, I'm just going to repost the thread I made on ESB which lead to the airdate changes. It's hard even for me to accept, but at the same time it's also hard to dispute the evidence at hand. I guess the only thing left to do is to keep on hunting for old VHS recordings of the show, and any other sorts of evidence that can support (or somehow debunk) these finds.

Following somebody's recommendation on the ESB Discord, I'm starting a thread here so the community can try and sort out a debate that's been going on and off for the last couple months or so.
So... let me provide some background info first for those who haven't been a part of the discussion. My friends and I are very passionate collectors of old Nickelodeon TV recordings, and naturally SpongeBob falls into that category. For a while, we were stumped by a recording of "Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off" that is promoted as a "NEW!" episode with commercials that would place the broadcast on February 17, 2001. This is in direct contradiction with the ESB/Wikipedia/TV.com air date of November 2, 2000. Furthermore, "Wormy / Patty Hype" is said to have premiered on the February 17th date.
Confusing, right? We were too, but then somebody on the ESB Discord found air dates in the SpongeBob Exposed! book which largely differed from what's been assumed for years. And to my friends' and my surprise, "Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off" was listed for February 17, 2001 -- the same date that our tape indicated. Additional surprise were found, such as "The Chaperone / Employee of the Month" premiering during March Toon Mania and "Hooky / Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy II" being held over until 2001.
The Discord user provided images of the entire episode guide from that book, and for a moment it looked like the real air dates had been found! But some Discord users weren't convinced, claiming that the "Exposed!" book and newspaper listings weren't enough proof, and they made it very clear that they didn't think the newly discovered air dates should be added to the wiki. They stood their ground, and my friends and I stood ours.
Nevertheless, I continued to do research with my friends on other Nickelodeon recordings we've found since then. In the process, we uncovered forum postings on an old SpongeBob fan site where, naturally, new episodes were discussed. And to our surprise, many of these posts matched up with the "Exposed!" air dates and the ones indicated by tapes we've discovered since.
For example:
"Dying for Pie / Imitation Krabs" and "Big Pink Loser / Bubble Buddy"
"Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off" and "Wormy / Patty Hype"Well-known TV archivist NickandMore has done similar research to me and my friends, and run into the same disputes.
It's extremely unlikely that fans who were consistently watching a weekly series would post excitedly about episodes being new if they'd aired that many months prior (surely by then, there would have been reruns), so I stand firm on the grounds that these four air dates are correct.
January 27, 2001 - Dying for Pie / Imitation Krabs
February 3, 2001 - Big Pink Loser / Bubble Buddy
February 17, 2001 - Your Shoe's Untied / Squid's Day Off
February 24, 2001 - Wormy / Patty HypeUnfortunately, the forum posts aren't without their additional mysteries. While many mysteries are seemingly wrapped up, several posts exist on spongebobsquarepants.net which suggest that some Season 2 episodes originally premiered by themselves and then re-aired as a "NEW!" pairing. Regrettably, I haven't uncovered any TV broadcasts or schedule listings which line up with this suggestion one way or another, but I can say with full confidence that the airdates listed on NickandMore, SpongeBob Exposed!, and further supported by the TV recordings I have are accurate to the best information that currently exists.
January 27, 2001, 8:00pm
February 17, 2001, 8:00pm
Rather than continue this debate on the Discord, I'm carrying it over to the Wiki's forums directly, in the hopes that we can uncover more TV recordings and other resources which prove--one way or another--when these episodes truly premiered.

I was lucky enough to win a signed copy of Dying for Pie's storyboard on eBay a couple weeks ago, and it only felt right to share it with the world. Pages 1-55 are taken from a scan I found on somebody's portfolio(?), but the cover page and page 56 onward are all from my own copy.
*Unfortunately* the storyboard suffered some water/ink damage under the previous owner which is visible on the right side throughout most of my scans... blah. Let's just play along with the pirates and pretend they're blueberry stains or something, I guess.
Enjoy!

It's been over a year and I'm still caught up in the beat of that "My Leg" song. Really fun, wacky nod to the fans. One of my favorite episodes in the last couple years.

From "Fools in April"
Squidward: Yes, SpongeBob! I meant every word!
SpongeBob: Even the part about the lima beans and the car chase?
Squidward: ... Yes! Yes! Whatever.

Saw the 8:00pm SNICK thing that was on April 21st, 2001 but I don't think there was a SpongeBob episode in that time slot because the 2001 KCAs were held that day.
Corrected, thanks!

For the past several months, TheTideAndSeeker and I have been cooking up a chronological guide to every single time SpongeBob aired on Nickelodeon before Season 4 began. To determine which episode aired on which day, we've gone through old newspaper archives, fan recordings, and some cool top secret sources. While the list will obviously never be 100% complete, it's been a fun venture into the history of the show.
In cases where we have footage of the airing, pictures are hyperlinked.
And of course, any help with air dates, finding recordings, etc. is always appreciated.

Yay, I'm in the example GIF!
But seriously, I hope this campaign is really successful.

Heartbreaking news. SpongeBob gave me some of the best laughs in the more difficult times I've had, and this hits me really hard. If he doesn't manage to pull through, I hope he can at least enjoy the last few years of his life.

CDCB's Bikini Bottom Adventures
in Davy Jones' Locker

CDCB’s Bikini Bottom Adventures – Mini Short 10 – Story Time
SpongeBob and Patrick started down at my dormant body. There I was, fast asleep beneath a coral tree in my front yard, snoring peacefully.
“How long do you think he’s been asleep?” asked SpongeBob.
Patrick took one thoughtful look right up close in my face. His eyebrows fluttered as my snoring blew a light breeze in his face.
“Oh, I dunno…” Patrick pondered. “I’d say about 12 years, 2 months, and 17 days.”
SpongeBob stopped awkwardly.
“… Well, I didn’t mean anything that specific…” SpongeBob started, but he realized his pink pal was already lost in thought (or a lack thereof) again. “Uhhh, never mind that. Let’s just try to wake him up.”
“Wake who up?” Patrick asked dopily.
“CDCB!” SpongeBob exclaimed, with a hint of impatience now. “Today’s the day of the big Jellyfishing Expo in Ukulele Bottom!”
“Heh heh… Bottom…” Patrick chuckled.
SpongeBob just rolled his eyes.
“How do you suppose we’re gonna wake him up, buddy?” SpongeBob asked while shaking me slightly to no avail. “I’ve never seen CDCB sleep like this before.”
Patrick considered this. He thought for a moment in deep silence, which, granted, was not very deep at all. In the great train of thought, Patrick might as well have only been the caboose. But suddenly an idea came to him, and it seemed to make sense.
“I know!” he shouted triumphantly (which didn’t wake me, either). “Why don’t we read CDCB a story?”
“Isn’t that usually for when you go to bed?” SpongeBob questioned.
“Well, yeah…” Patrick agreed. “But maybe… we could read him a story that’s so exciting, he’ll have to wake up and… and hear what happens next!”
SpongeBob was admittedly impressed.
“Wow, good idea buddy!” he said, patting his portly pink pal on the back. “Do you know any stories?”
“Well,” Patrick reminisced, “There’s that one I told you about the Ugly B—”
“No!” SpongeBob interrupted, a small tear escaping his eye. “That won’t help at all.”
They were stumped.
“Why don’t we just make one up?” SpongeBob suggested cheerfully. “Nobody knows CDCB better than his two best pals! I’m sure we’ll come up with just the story.”
SpongeBob gave Patrick a playful jab in the tummy, which jiggled slightly. Patrick couldn’t help but giggle.
“I’ll start us off!” SpongeBob cleared his throat, then spoke in a more sophisticated voice. “Once there was a fish named CDCB, who lived in a—”
“SOMBRERO!!” Patrick interrupted.
“… uhhh, a sombrero,” SpongeBob continued awkwardly. That wasn’t what he had in mind, but he just went with it. “Anyway, CDCB loved to play the--”
“ICE CREAM!!” Patrick interrupted again.
“Patrick, you can’t play ice cream!” SpongeBob protested.
Patrick pulled an ice cream cone out of nowhere and blew on the pointy part at the bottom of the cone. It made a disgusting sound, like some kind of a squishy horn. But SpongeBob had to admit, it did sound vaguely musical.
“You were saying?” Patrick challenged nonchalantly.
SpongeBob groaned.
“Just let me tell a little bit more of the story before you take your turn, okay?” SpongeBob patiently asked. Though his patience was beginning to wear down a little.
Patrick nodded compliantly.
“So anyway,” SpongeBob said, “CDCB lived in a sombrero and he liked to play ice cream.”
Patrick said nothing, so SpongeBob took it as his cue to continue.
“CDCB was playing his ice cream one morning when suddenly, a giant sea monster ripped through the wall of his sombrero house and roared,” SpongeBob continued. “CDCB shook in fear, but he wasn’t one to pick a fight. So he took one look at the sea monster and said…”
SpongeBob cleared his throat and put on his best impression of me.
“’Hey buddy, that’s my wall!’”
Patrick cringed in silence.
“The sea monster didn’t understand English,” SpongeBob continued. “So he just sat there, and… uhhh… roared some MORE!... and… uhhh…”
SpongeBob’s story had stumbled into a dead end, and Patrick couldn’t take this whole patience thing anymore.
“Aww, why doesn’t CDCB just throw his ice cream at the sea monster?” Patrick suggested intensely.
“Because CDCB would never do that!” SpongeBob declined.
“Can’t he aim?” Patrick asked cluelessly.
“Not.. really…” SpongeBob murmured confidentially.
SpongeBob and Patrick continued bickering back and forth, blissfully unaware that I was finally awaking from my slumber.
“Hey guys,” I yawned.
“CDCB!” SpongeBob and Patrick cheered in unison, completely forgetting about their argument.
“Boy, it feels like I’ve been asleep for 12 years,” I chuckled.
“12 years, 2 months, and 17 days,” Patrick interjected.
I couldn’t help but laugh. There was Patrick again, just being Patrick. The same ol’ doofus we all knew and loved.
“So what have you guys been up to?” I asked, changing the topic.
“We were on our way to the Jellyfishing Expo!” SpongeBob reminded me. “Today’s the big day!”
“So it is!” I beamed. I stood up and put on my trusty convention hat, with SpongeBob and Patrick following suit. “You guys think Kevin’ll be there?”
“You mean that pickle with the funny hat?” Patrick laughed.
“Errr… yeah…” SpongeBob confirmed awkwardly. Truthfully, Patrick had gotten some of the details mixed up, but we all knew what he meant.
The three of us decided to walk to the convention center instead of taking the bus, preferring to use the extra time to enjoy each other’s company. In all truth, I’d only been taking a short nap and wasn’t really asleep for 12 years. But with how close SpongeBob, Patrick, and I had gotten? It might as well have been. The three of us had grown inseparable since I arrived in Bikini Bottom, and even though Squidward was a bit too grouchy to admit it, my presence made his misadventures with SpongeBob and Patrick a little more bearable.
Life in Bikini Bottom was unpredictable. Sometimes things were full of adventure and excitement. Sometimes life could be pretty lackluster and seemed to drag forever. But I’d grown to adapt and embrace my new life under the sea. And while a part of me would have been happy if I ever solved the mystery of my fish transformation and made it back to the surface, I’d learned to be content in the moment and appreciate things as they were right then and there.
Perhaps my questions would be answered someday. For now, I was just happy to be alive and hanging with my two best pals.
