Better Episodes for SpongeBob Squarepants

We the undersigned, s concerned fans of Spongebob Squarepants, we have several concerns that we would like to share with you.

One concern is that the relationships between Spongebob, Squidward and Patrick seem to promote homosexuality. We all know Spongebob is not a homosexual or %u201Cgay%u201D cartoon character, but the way he is when around Squidward or Patrick seems to equal this said behavior instead of what should be brotherly love.

Example of this behavior include:

Spongebob giving Squidward a kiss on occasion. (Can you Spare a Dime, and Dear Vikings)

Spongebob telling Squidward he %u201Cloves%u201D or %u201Clikes%u201D him. (The Splinter, 2000 Krabby Patties Under the Sea, and Two Faces of Squidward)

Patrick and Spongebob sleeping together in the same bed. (Rock a Bye Bivalve, and The Krusty Krushers)

And the look of Spongebob%u2019s face and eye expressions and some point when he%u2019s with Squidward or Patrick. It%u2019s pretty disturbing.

Speaking of disturbing, the way Spongebob looks today irritates us fans as well. Mainly the puffy cheeks, droopy nose and the exaggerated close ups. Also the constant butt jokes are getting pretty old. Spongebob%u2019s change in his voice has also gotten many fans agitated. His voiced being higher pitched since the movie seems to make him sound gay as some fans would say.

Spongebob has also shown to be more and more childlike as well as less mature. The plots are becoming very predictable. Every episode seems to involve Spongebob and Patrick making Squidward%u2019s life miserable. The characters are becoming very one-dimensional. Mr. Krabs only likes money, Patrick is getting more dumber than he needs to be, and Sandy is only interested in science. The characters are basically losing the qualities that made us like them from the beginning.

Another issue regards Sandy Cheeks.

She isn%u2019t seen as much anymore. Sandy has only been in very few episodes (about seven) out of 30 in Season Six. She also doesn%u2019t resemble the character she was in the first three Seasons of the show. She has become more interested in science than the sporty stuff like karate like she used to. It wouldn%u2019t hurt to balance it out a little more.

You may also have noticed the large number of fan sites, fiction, and fan art relating to the pairing of Spongebob and Sandy. (Also known as %u201CSpandy%u201D) This pairing is particularly popular and is the subject of a great majority of fan fiction, art as well as a few videos on the YouTube website and a couple of forums.

I am also such a fan.

The fans did not actually create this fandom. In a book called, SpongeBob SquarePants Survival Guide, it specifically mentions that Spongebob has a secret crush on Sandy in the chapter on %u201CHow to Survive a Secret Crush.%u201D

%u3000

We, the fans, feel that if you were to include this pairing more often, even in hints, (you have already in past episodes) you would be doing us a great service.

You would make the show more enjoyable for all those who support this pairing, and both of us will benefit; us fans because we will see a show we can enjoy, and you from increased viewership.

We also feel that it could help Spongebob get a better reputation as to not being gay.

There have also been points of not allowing to put romance in a kids show. But there have been several episode centered on romantic relationships. Such as:
Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff,
Plankton and Mr. Krabs%u2019 mother,
Spongebob and a Krabby Patty
and both Squidward and Mr. Krabs develop a crush on Patrick%u2019s female disguise Patricia.

Plus, there have also been romantic relationships in other shows such as:
Fairly Odd Parents,
Danny Phantom,
Back at the Barnyard etc%u2026

Many fans would appreciate the addition of Spandy for it'll prove Spongebob's non-homosexuality. Plus many agree it%u2019s a cute couple. You may think a sponge and a squirrel together might be odd but in the show there have been several multi-specie couples. Plus you have already gave out Spandy hints in past episodes of Spongebob Squarepants. Especially in the first few seasons, books and some games. There have also been rumors of Spongebob and Sandy getting married. The source of this is in a upcoming book called %u201CGood Times%u201D as well as a new episode coming out this fall. We%u2019ve been told it%u2019s about when Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, and Mr. Krabs are locked in Krusty Krab freezer and are reminiscing past memories.

Fans are curious to know if this is true or not.

In short, we believe that the show would be greatly improved by addressing the basic points that we addressed in this letter; Spongebob being portrayed as a %u201Cgay%u201D character, seeing less of Sandy Cheeks, an essential character, and the lack of romantic relationships that are clearly presented earlier in the series. The heart of the series are not the animators or the scriptwriters; it is the fans. We are the ones who you create these works for, and our voice is important in the future course of the series. Therefore, we hope that you will examine what we have said here, and that you will take them into account and hopefully make the improvements necessary to return to series to its greatness.

Thank you for your time.
