Remember "Nasty Patty," the episode where the Krusty crew thought that they killed a health inspector? Or what about "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost," where SpongeBob and Patrick ( Bill Fagerbakke) think they've killed Squidward ( Rodger Bumpass) and that they're being haunted by him? A lot of these early episodes were about murder! You wouldn't catch that in a kid's show today. The first few seasons of SpongeBob are way more bizarre than people tend to remember. Adults had their shows on Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and Fox, and kids would watch Nickelodeon, but for the first few years of the 2000s, SpongeBob still united the generations.

Simply put, there wasn't a real gut to any of these shows anymore.
