Gotta See Saturday Mornings
Appearance
Gotta See Saturday Mornings was an event that occurred throughout late 2012 on Saturday mornings, airing new episodes and reruns of various Nicktoons, including The Penguins of Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles alongside SpongeBob SquarePants (which aired mini-marathons between 9:00am - 11:00am, and occasionally ran during midday) and Power Rangers (a recently acquired series that usually encored and premiered during early afternoons.) 3 new episodes from season 9 premiered during this event: "Eek, an Urchin!," "Patrick-Man!," and "Bumper to Bumper."

Trivia
General
- A large selection of episodes that were aired on the block usually ran very heavily, (at least twice or thrice) an unusual ratio to most events, which typically encored episodes in a fairly randomized and non-repetitive order. These episodes were:
- The Runaway Roadtrip compilation series (twice)
- "Atlantis SquarePantis" (thrice)
- "The Great Patty Caper" (twice)
- "Patrick-Man" / "Gary's New Toy" (thrice)
- "Super Evil Aquatic Villain Team Up is Go!" (thrice) / "Chum Fricassee" (twice)
- "Trenchbillies" / "Sponge-Cano!" (twice[note 5])
- "Krusty Dogs" / "The Wreck of the Mauna Loa" (thrice)
- "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" (twice)
- Following and leading up to the premieres of "Eek, an Urchin!," "Patrick-Man!," and "Bumper to Bumper," themed marathons were aired in order to celebrate or take note of a recent event at time.
- A Halloween-themed marathon of episodes were played following "Eek, an Urchin! / Patrick-Man!," as they ran the Saturday before the holiday: [6]
- 9:30am: "Ghost Host"
- 9:45am: "Graveyard Shift"
- 10:00am: "The Curse of Bikini Bottom"
- 10:15am: "Squidward the Unfriendly Ghost"
- 10:30am: "Ghoul Fools"
- A boating school-themed marathon of episodes were played prior to "Bumper to Bumper," even earlier than "Gotta See Saturday Mornings": [7][note 6]
- 8:00am: "No Free Rides"
- 8:15am: "N/A"
- 8:30am: "Driven to Tears"
- 8:45am: "N/A"
- 9:00am: "Boating Buddies"
- 9:15am: "N/A"
- 9:30am: "N/A"
- 9:45am: "Procrastination"
- 10:00am: "Doing Time"
- 10:15am: "N/A"
- 10:30am: "Bumper to Bumper"
- Despite the premiere of "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!" and the Christmas season in full force on Nickelodeon, with various themed debuts on the network, no snow-themed segments or "Christmas Who?" were aired.
- A Halloween-themed marathon of episodes were played following "Eek, an Urchin! / Patrick-Man!," as they ran the Saturday before the holiday: [6]
- A nighttime block "Gotta See Saturday Nights" aired opposite "Saturday Mornings," debuting and rerunning new episodes of live-action series, rather than mostly cartoons.[1]
- Two movies aired during this event: 2004's theatrical The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie[8] and 2012's television A Fairly Odd Christmas.[23]
- Both are adaptions of longtime popular Nickelodeon franchises.

Notes
- ↑ Various episodes are unknown or were repeated multiple times.
- ↑ Compilation special, only the final two segments aired as a part of the event.
- ↑ Only the second part of the hour-long special (which debuted at 11:30am) was new, as the first had premiered the night before. The entire special replayed again at 12:00pm.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 This is a compilation special.
- ↑ Once as a part of the Legends of Bikini Bottom compilation series.
- ↑ Note that the marathon is largely themed around boating school episodes, so some of the listings on Nickstory may be incorrect.
