“SpongeBob SquarePants: Heroes of Bikini Bottom” DVD

My boys love watching SpongeBob SquarePants and laugh frequently through most episodes.  I even find myself laughing at the silly things that SpongeBob and Patrick say and do!  On June 14th, 2011, Nickelodeon and Paramount Home Entertainment released SpongeBob SquarePants: Heroes of Bikini Bottom on DVD.  SpongeBob swings into superhero mode with this all-new eight-episode DVD, including the special episode, “Back to the Past,” guest starring Ernest Borgnine, Tim Conway and Batman’s Adam West and Burt Ward.  A great addition to any SpongeBob collection, this DVD features animated shorts and a bonus episode of the hit Nickelodeon animated comedy series, T.U.F.F. Puppy.  Created by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, SpongeBob SquarePants: Heroes of Bikini Bottom is available on DVD and can be purchased online and in stores, retailing for $16.99.

For more than a decade, the porous brainchild of creator Stephen Hillenburg has grown from a single Saturday morning kids’ show to a certified pop culture maverick.  Since its launch in July 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has emerged as a pop culture phenomenon.  The series has been the number-one animated program with kids 2-11 for more than 10 consecutive years on Nickelodeon, and over the past several years, it has averaged more than 100 million total viewers every quarter across all Nickelodeon networks.  Syndicated in 171 markets in 36 languages, it’s the most widely distributed property in MTV Networks’ history.  SpongeBob SquarePants has a huge online following as well, currently with more than 19 million fans on Facebook.
