Trivia
General
- All episodes from this premiere week aired in Russia on July 26 and July 27, 2018.
- During the original airing of "Patnocchio" during the scene where the lightbulb on top of Patrick's head blows up, the entire screen went black for a minute in some cable and satellite providers after the lightbulb explodes.[1] There was also no Nick screenbug at all during the black screen.
- This may explain why "Patnocchio" got 1.22 million viewers which, at the time, was the 3rd lowest-rated episode premiere behind "High Sea Diving" and "ChefBob."
- "Whale Watching" is the highest-viewed episode with 1.59 views; the lowest-viewed episode is "ChefBob" with 1.04 million views.
- The latter was, at the time, the lowest-rated episode in the show's history, until the "The Ballad of Filthy Muck" premiered.
