The Squog Show

The Squog Show is an American animated series created by BubbleBud for Nickelodeon that premiered on April 14, 2024.

Premise
The series takes place one year prior to the events of The Cloonbob Saga. Squog (Roger Bumpass), a prehistoric time-traveling octopus, struggles to survive in a world transformed by George Clooney (George Clooney), Joel Schumacher (Dee Bradley Baker), and Val Kilmer (Val Kilmer) into a cheesy wasteland.

Development
Initially pitched by BubbleBud as a spin-off film, after the box office disappointment of SpongeBob SquarePants IV, Nickelodeon and Viacom instead greenlit the project as a television series. This caused a major conflict between Joel Schumacher and the studio; following this dispute, Schumacher left the project, stating that "...[Nick's] channel won't allow me to show the viewers nipples the way I want."

Ben Affleck, Chris Terrio, and BubbleBud, screenwriters for SpongeBob Movie IV and SpongeBob Movie V, signed on to write a full season of 16 episodes, while most of the cast from SpongeBob Movie IV reprised their roles.
