In the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, a sweet yet strange cartoon comes to life. On this date in 1999, the first official episode of SpongeBob SquarePants premiered on TV. The cartoon series was created by Stephen Hillenburg, a marine biologist and animator. It is about the funny adventures of SpongeBob SquarePants and his mix of friends. One of them is a squirrel who needs to wear a diving suit to visit SpongeBob. The show is on Nickelodeon and, by its second season, became one of the station's highest-rated shows.
