The show, first broadcast in 1999, started out as the network's underdog, but eventually proved to be a [[CashCowFranchise HUGE success]] with both kids and adults, quickly dethroning ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' as Nick's flagship franchise: kids enjoyed the bright colors, appealing characters, and skilled use of MediumBlending, while adults caught onto its quirky writing, wit, and a long list of {{parental bonus}}es.

Other friends include [[IntellectualAnimal Gary]] (Kenny), [=SpongeBob's=] [[SapientPet smart pet snail]] who communicates by meowing like a cat; [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Pearl]] (Creator/LoriAlan), Mr. Krabs' teenage daughter who is a [[HugeSchoolgirl gigantic sperm whale]]; and [[TheAce Sandy]] [[BadassBookworm Cheeks]], (Carolyn Lawrence) [=SpongeBob=]'s Texas-accented squirrel friend [[FishOutOfWater who lives in an underwater dome]] and ventures forth wearing a bubble-helmet diving suit. The show is in a constant state of underwater bizarreness, frequently using the RuleOfFunny (apparently a wood fire is a possible underwater as long as you [[PuffOfLogic don't point it out]]).

He also has a [[AccidentalHero knack for saving the day]] from the [[TheNapoleon tiny villain]] [[BigBad Sheldon J.]] [[HarmlessVillain Plankton]] and his [[TalkingApplianceSidekick talking computer wife]] Karen. They own a rival restaurant across the street called the Chum Bucket and go to desperate lengths to steal the successful Krabby Patty formula. As proven time and time again, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption failure is the only option]] for them.
