SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star will host the 2024 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards as the kickoff to a 25th-anniversary celebration of the animated show.
Nickelodeon says this is the first time that animated characters have hosted a full-length awards show. SpongeBob SquarePants is voiced by Tom Kenny, and Patrick Star is voiced by Bill Fagerbakke, and the characters will host from their undersea home, Bikini Bottom.
The 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards will be handed out in a live telecast airing at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on July 13, which is just a few days ahead of the date of SpongeBob SquarePants’ 25th anniversary (it premiered on July 17, 1999). The awards show “will take place in an animated setting through enhanced graphics and advanced augmented reality” and will also air on TeenNick, Nicktoons and Nick Jr. Awards will be handed out across several genres, including film, television, music and sports.

TV networks come and go. While the state of cable TV now isn’t particularly stable amid the constant streaming wars, TV network deaths have always been monumental funerals. Corporate mergers, changes in demographics, and budget cuts all contributed to channel deaths during the early 21st century that crushed my spirits – long before Netflix even cast the first streaming stone.
Not a day goes by when I don’t reflect upon my childhood spent watching programming on long-gone networks. These networks gave unrepresented artists platforms, brought audiences of underserved demographics together, and ultimately established specific TV identities. These are a few channels that deserve a second or third shot at life.

Universal Pictures has pulled back the curtain on Jon M. Chu's big-screen adaptation of Broadway hit, Wicked, with an extended trailer, and if you're not too familiar with the story, don't worry - this teaser tells you everything you need to know.
We're used to trailers giving a bit too much away at this stage, but this really takes the flying monkey!
The movie, which is set to hit theaters on November 27, will tell the story of how a shy green-skinned woman named Elphaba becomes a cackling villain with an aversion to water we first met in The Wizard of Oz.
Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, who will ultimately become the "Wicked Witch of the West," while pop megastar Ariana Grande will play Glinda, aka "Good Witch of the East."
It's probably not a major to spoiler to note that their friendship doesn't last!

TV crossovers have been a thing for the vast majority of the medium's history as a popular form of entertainment. From "The Jetsons" meeting "The Flinstones" to "The Simpsons" meeting the characters from "Futurama," there's a rich history here. But not every crossover is quite so obvious. For example, the Fox crime drama "Bones" ended up crossing with, oddly enough, Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcom "Family Guy." Bizarre though it may sound, both shows aired on the same network at the same time, and there was a good enough reason to bring these characters into the same universe at the time.
The episode in question was the second to last episode of "Bones" season 4, entitled "The Critic in the Cabernet." While the main plot involves human remains found inside a wine barrel during a tasting, the crossover has to do with the episode's B-plot. In the episode, Emily Deschanel's...

“There’s one important thing to know about ‘Smiling Friends,’” the show’s co-creator Zach Hadel said during a recent Zoom interview with IndieWire. “It’s not smart.”
It was a reoccurring sentiment. Over the course of our conversation, Hadel and co-creator Michael Cusack repeatedly called their show “dumb,” “stupid,” “not smart,” and, in one colorful tangent, suggested that society would be better off if they were barred from producing television and sent to work in underground mines. But their humility masks a deep commitment to silliness that might be the secret to making “Smiling Friends” feel so damn refreshing.
The animated series, which follows an eclectic group of nonprofit employees who are tasked with making sad people smile (and are legally obligated to do anything a sad customer asks until they smile), was a massive hit in alternative comedy circles when it premiered on Adult Swim in 2022.

Sony and Apollo Global Management intend to sell of Paramount Global’s linear broadcast and television networks if its offer to acquire the company is approved, according to a report.
On Wednesday, the New York Times said Sony and Apollo would “auction off” the CBS broadcast network and co-owned cable channels like MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT and BET if Paramount’s board and shareholders approve its $26 billion takeover offer.
The report said Sony and Apollo are likely to keep the famed Paramount Pictures studio and Paramount’s intellectual content, including shows like “Spongebob Squarepants,” “Paw Patrol,” “Star Trek” and “Mission: Impossible.” But it would sell off Paramount Plus with Showtime, the...

If you don’t have kids, you may not have heard of “Gabby’s Dollhouse.” If you have a preschooler, it has likely become a welcome upgrade from the “Cocomelon” of your child’s nursery school days.
No intended shade at “Cocomelon,” the other monster hit for Netflix in the kids space. “Cocomelon” is simplistic animation set to familiar nursery rhymes — it’s a low lift both in terms of production and consumption. “Gabby’s,” a combination of (a little) live-action and (a lot of) animation, is a child’s entry point into storytelling and imaginative play. It was for my kids — and millions of others.
For 2023, the top 5 children’s series on streaming ranked like this, per Nielsen:
“Bluey” (43.9 billion minutes streamed on Disney+) “Cocomelon” (36.3 billion minutes streamed on Netflix) “SpongeBob Squarepants” (19.8 billion minutes streamed on Paramount+) “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” (13.9 billion minutes streamed on Disney+) “Gabby’s Dollhouse” (12.8 billion minutes...

Cartoons can be pretty weird, and the Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time" is definitely one of the weirder ones. It follows a human boy named Finn (Jeremy Shada) and his best friend, a dog with silly putty-like characteristics named Jake (John Dimaggio). Created by Pendleton Ward, the series takes place in the post-apocalyptic, magical land of Ooo, full of princesses and monsters and all kinds of wild adventures for Finn and Jake to get up to. It ran for 10 seasons on Cartoon Network before getting spin-offs, won multiple Emmys, and had a huge cultural impact that even served as the "structural godfather" for Donald Glover's surreal FX series "Atlanta."
Back when the series was still in its infancy, however, one of its most important contributors didn't understand "Adventure Time" at all. In an oral history of the series for the LA Times, Dimaggio revealed that he struggled to fully wrap...

She was an early-aughts “scene kid” before anyone else in her town knew that was a thing, showing up to church choir practice in fishnets and miniskirts and combat boots. “All of us were wearing Abercrombie & Fitch and Aeropostale,...

Action shonen anime dominates the medium, for better and worse. Every big franchise eventually gets an original movie — or a dozen. "One Piece" has 15, "Dragon Ball" 24, and "Naruto" has 11.
The problem is that these mostly tend to be non canonical movies without much consequence. They are cute, fun adventures, for sure. Still, they are more concerned with providing fan service than providing substance. The best ones are those that manage to make the most out of their non canonical status and present truly experimental movies, like the best of the "One Piece" films.
Now comes "Spy x Family: Code White," a movie based on one of the most popular manga, published in Shonen Jump magazine — which makes this technically a shonen anime movie, regardless of its actual genre. The premise is simple. Loid is a spy, Yor is an assassin, and together they fake a family for convenience (and for...

Well here’s the very definition of a power move: according to reports, Sony may have joined the race to acquire Paramount Global, the company that is currently on sale.
Paramount has been in the shop window for a while now but most analysts believe that 2024 is the year that a deal for the company will be done and for a good while now, Skydance Media has seemed to be in pole position to acquire Paramount Global.

SpongeBob needs no introduction, which has captivated audiences since debuting on Nickelodeon in 1999. On top of 14 seasons over the span of the past two decades, the character has also witnessed three theatrical releases, with the last one being 2020’s Sponge on the Run. And on the character’s 25th anniversary, a fourth film has been announced, set to be led by director Derek Drymon, who served as the creative director for the first three seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants.
However, some are conflicted about the upcoming theatrical release, after director Drymon revealed that the upcoming film will feature n-dity.

There is an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" wherein SpongeBob makes a clown of himself by ripping his pants while trying to pick up a measly stick while "training" on the beach with friends Sandy and Larry. When everyone laughs with him rather than at him, Spongebob rolls with it.
Of course, this being SpongeBob, he takes things too far. He starts ripping one pair of pants after another for a laugh until everyone at the underwater beach is annoyed and eventually disgusted by him — even his ripped pants take consciousness and abandon the poor sponge. The episode ends with SpongeBob singing a phenomenal song about his ripping his pants costing him his friends, and everyone forgives him.
What does SpongeBob have to do with "Star Wars"? Usually very little. Stephen Hillenburg's masterpiece is lighter on pop culture references than most of its contemporaries. But they do have something in...

Xbox has announced the latest round of games that will join its Game Pass subscription service in the month of March. The Netflix-esque service offers a vast library of games for a monthly fee. This makes it a great option for players who want to explore a wide variety of genres without the upfront cost of buying individual games.
It seems Microsoft has been closely following the Helldivers 2 discourse, with players fiercely campaigning for an Xbox release. In response, the Game Pass library will see the addition of a comical co-op shooter in March that will hopefully quench the players’ Helldivers-sized thirst.

By the time you figure out where a song by New York rapper and producer Xaviersobased is coming from, it’s usually already over. On 2021’s “115 & LSD,” which the 20-year-old cites as a creative breakthrough in his music, he builds up a cacophony of exotic-bird whistles, overlapping hums, overheard yells, exploding machine-gun shells, and blown-out 808s across just two minutes. Xavier’s songs often repeat halfway through at double speed; his voice tumbles through verses about twerking and trapping and blunt toking and Xbox. “On My Own,” from his recent mixtape Keep It Goin Xav,...

Paramount Global ended last year with around 67.5 million subscribers to its flagship streaming service Paramount Plus, the company announced on Thursday.
The data point was revealed in Paramount’s fourth quarter (Q4) and full-year earnings report, through which Paramount executives affirmed their subscribing losses peaked two years ago, and they expect Paramount Plus to be fully profitable by next year.
The 67.5 million subscribers reported on Thursday represent a net increase of 4.1 million customers. The figure doesn’t include the number of customers in the United States who purchased Paramount Plus with Showtime to stream the Super Bowl earlier this month, because the event fell outside the scope of the earnings report.
On a conference call with reporters, executives at Paramount said bundling offers like those promoted through marketplaces like Amazon Prime Video Channels and The Roku Channel...

The second overtime game in Super Bowl history delivered a gigantic audience on Sunday — the biggest one in the history of total-viewer ratings, in fact.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers averaged 120 million viewers on CBS, by itself the largest telecast on record. Simulcasts on Nickelodeon, Univision, Paramount+ and other digital platforms pushed the total to 123.4 million. No other broadcast in American TV history — at least as measured by Nielsen — has drawn more people.
CBS says the Super Bowl was the most streamed ever; Paramount+’s portion of the audience is rolled into the 120 million viewers for the CBS telecast as they were showing the same feed. Univision averaged about 2.2 million viewers for its Spanish-language broadcast (a record for a Super Bowl broadcast in Spanish), which would put Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob-themed alternate telecast at 1.2 million.
