#Amazon spongebob season 12 series#
In the United States, the Spongebob TV series is not available on Netflix. Let’s begin with the main core TV series first.
I doubt parents or anyone watching the show really cares that much, this just feels like another dumb kneejerk reaction like all of those dumb 9/11 related edits to shows(nobody made a single complaint when Nick accidentally aired the unedited version of the Invader ZIM episode "Door to Door" three days after 9/11) and movies that NOBODY was asking for.Of course, Nickelodeon does still have a good operating relationship with Netflix, releasing exclusive content onto the service including the likes of Glitch Techs and Pinky Malinky and big upcoming schedule too.Īre seasons 1-12 of Spongebob on Netflix? It's just another instance of Viacom giving Canada preferential treatment, first with them getting Sponge on the Run in theaters and now this.
So if that is Viacom's flimsy justification for not putting the episode on the disc, I ain't buying it, and even if I did, that still does not at all explain why this episode is legally available on Apple TV in Canada, after all it's not like they aren't dealing with a bunch of virus related deaths themselves, so again I question the logic of having it legally available one place in North American but not in another. It does not at all feel like it's poking fun at the real life event considering it was written and produced in 2019 before it even happened.Īlso one could say the same thing about the episode Hiccup Plague(where this time the characters really are sick) yet that episode was allowed to remain on the set(and i'd argue it's title was more eerie)not to mention Suds was put back in reruns(and that episode has a character sick almost the whole episode). Strongly disagree, didn't feel insensitive to me in the least, especially considering the twist that nobody was actually sick from the flu. Every way I look at this it makes no sense, who knows maybe it has nothing to do with COVID at all and it being left off is just plain old incompetence on Viacom's part. I truly don't get this one, yes there's a few scenes in the episode that can't help but evoke COVID(Mr Krabs putting on a facemask and disinfecting his money, the men in radiation suits locking the restaurant down) but aside from that the episode does not really deal with the characters getting sick, it's more Krabs being paranoid that others are sick and throwing them in the freezer and at the end the twist is that the health inspector guy was wrong about the Clam Flu and that nobody actually had it(though the characters did get other diseases from fighting while covered in grease, though those illnesses were much more humorous in nature so they had no resemblance to real life illnesses) so it's apart from some brief scenes it actually does not evoke the pandemic much at all, so it's exclusion from the DVD is quite baffling(Especially since the episode is legally available on Apple TV in Canada and it's not like they aren't also suffering big losses from COVID, not as much as us sure but it's still a big problem there, so it's weird that Viacom is OK with that episode being legally available there but not in the U.S.)after all other Spongebob episodes where characters do actually get sick like Suds are now back in reruns just fine and another sickness related episode in season 12-Hiccup Plague(Where characters really do get sick) wasn't left off the season set.
