Controversy

The disputed show allegedly contains violent scenes
~ John Laskaridis on Newspaper "Ethnos"

Μπομπ Σφουγγαράκης has been the subject of controversy in Greece since its premiere.

Channel 9 airings (2007)

Poster distributed by "Φοιτητές σε Κρίση Ταυτότητας," criticizing accusations against gay people.

During airings of the series on Channel 9 in 2007, the National Council for Radio and Television (Εθνικό Συμβούλιο Ραδιοτηλεόρασης) started investigations regarding a claim made by one of its members, in which he says that "the show contains violent scenes for children."[22]


The reaction of audiences and fans of the show in Greece was rather negative, with people criticizing the fact that NCRTV was focusing on "mindless" children shows, and not on other "awful" at the time, shows on TV, and saying ironically that NCRTV should also ban other cartoons.

Despite the Council taking action in order to ban the cartoon on the network, the exact reason for the cancellation of airings there till this day, are unknown.

Ellinofreneia (early series) Parody

File:Ελληνοφρένεια - Μπομπ Σφουγγαράκης

During the run of the Ellinofreneia early TV series on the Greek channel SKAI, a talk of the Greek politician George Alogoskoufis was satirized with an actor's hands, holding a SpongeBob and Patrick plush. The actor was moving SpongeBob and Patrick, with a censored way.

Later, a child's mother did a report about the censored scene at the radio series of the same name, because her child was watching that. The radio series host tried to say that NCRTV has claimed that the series is for adults (as it has also claimed that it has violence and sexual references).

KKE response to Alexis Tsipras

In a speech of Alexis Tsipras, chairman of SYRIZA (Coalition of Radical Left) and former prime minister of Greece, in 2013, about the newly-founded at the time station that was about to completely replace the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation, NERIT (New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television), he told that "You illegally emitted from a private studio a pirated signal that exposes the country internationally, with aesthetics referring to the Soviet Union channels of the 1970s and to Bolek and Lolek cartoons."

KKE (Communist Party of Greece) responded to the speech, saying:

But what do Bolek and Lolek have to do with that? [...] You should know that the Polish boys Bolek and Lolek, are one of the best in children's entertainment. Cartoons far superior than any pedagogical point of view, displaying ideals and values ​​particularly beneficial to young children who build their personality.
PS. Does Mr. Tsipras prefer today's modern capitalist animation industry trash that shows competition and violence? Is SpongeBob, who always serves his boss Mr. Krabs who oppresses him and exploits him, his role model?[23]
~ KKE (Communists Party of Greece)

Episodes restricted on Greek Free-to-air television

Due to NCRTV and other television content rating system companies from other countries growing stricter over the years, the following episodes no longer air as normal on Nickelodeon Greece's Free-to-air television channel, which led to them either airing at a later time with a stricter rating (for example, "Ghoul Fools," which was premiered in the time of 10:00 PM) or even being completely skipped in future reruns. All these episodes are available without any restrictions on streaming services and home media releases.

Subtitled version

The special "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!," alongside two episodes of Seasons 6 and 7, would air on MTV Greece with subtitles, between December 24, 2013 and December 26, 2013, on 6pm.[24]

The promo for the airings is done by Athens-based company XYZ Productions,[25] and Sandy Cheeks is played by Georgina Razack,[26] the female narrator for most Nickelodeon Greece promos.
