Friday Night Party with the Nicktoons was a Friday night block premiering and encoring episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, Invader Zim, ChalkZone, and The Fairly OddParents every Friday between 8:00pm and 10:00pm throughout early and mid-2002. SpongeBob not only headlined the block, but premiered 7 new episodes during its run, more than any other show that aired with it.

Schedule changes

  • During its five month run, "Friday Night Party" had one major schedule change, occurring at the very end of winter in 2002. From February 1, 2002[1] to March 15, 2002,[10] the block aired an hour of SpongeBob, and an hour of The Fairly OddParents.

Schedule #1

Time Show
8:00pm - 8:30pm SpongeBob SquarePants
8:30pm - 9:00pm
9:00pm - 9:30pm The Fairly OddParents
9:30pm - 10:00pm
  • Following the premiere of ChalkZone, as well as new episodes of Invader Zim, the network pinned each show to air at 8:30pm and 9:30pm respectively. Nickelodeon most likely placed the former at 8:30pm to stand as a strong lead-out to the highly-rated premieres and encores of SpongeBob, giving it an already large audience to build off of.
    • This schedule would be used from March 22nd[12] to April 12th,[8][9] April 26th to May 10th,[2][3] May 24th to June 14th,[4][5] and June 28th to the block's closure on July 5th, 2002.[6][7]

Schedule #2

Time Show
8:00pm - 8:30pm SpongeBob SquarePants
8:30pm - 9:00pm ChalkZone
9:00pm - 9:30pm The Fairly OddParents
9:30pm - 10:00pm Invader Zim
  • On April 19, 2002, normal programming was replaced by two other ongoing '90s Nicktoons: "Rugrats" and "Hey Arnold!"[8][9]

Schedule #3

Time Show
8:00pm - 8:30pm Rugrats
8:30pm - 9:00pm
