SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series. The third season was on television from October 5, 2001 to October 11, 2004.
Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob Squarepants, stopped making the television series in order to make The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. The television series was meant to end after the movie was released. Because the movie was so popular, the television series continued.
