Terrible news. Creator of one of the most delightful, appeal-to-all-ages series ever made.
my kids grew up on SpongeBob. They loved it and I loved watching it with them. Thank you Stephen Hillenberg for bringing my family hours of laughs together. #RIP
For my money, the all-time best SpongeBob episode is "Band Geeks." The only time a cartoon caused me to jump out of my seat and do a fist pump in the air.
SpongeBob is truly brilliant in comedic terms. It somehow manages to be edgy and weird, and at the same time completely innocent.
