I found this article just a few hours ago:

"Nickelodeon, which has been the home to the successful worldwide franchise, SpongeBob SquarePants, has announced earlier today that they are canceling their recently-implemented contracts for an eighth and ninth season.

'In order for a show of ours to keep production going, it must be at a constant reception. Sometimes a show might receive generally positive ratings, but will not meet the expectations of the critical older demographic,' says Cyma Zarghami, the president of the MTVN Kids & Family Group.

This comes as no surprise to most of the executives at Nickelodeon. They claim to have been triggered to this decision after reading a startling review by TV.com user optimist799.

Most of the SpongeBob SquarePants crew has yet to comment, but the show's executive producer, Paul Tibbit, had this to say: 'We have just started production of the final episode. Just to let the fans know, this will not be a happy episode, and may leave some children crying. However, people need to understand that we are not at all happy with Nickelodeon's decision to cancel the show, so we must take revenge.'

The voice recording for SpongeBob SquarePants: The Final Laugh will begin next week. Marilyn Manson is slated to have a guest voice appearance in the episode."

OUCH! I honestly thought this was an April Fools joke. I'm not sure if SpongeSebastian knew this or not when making this thread, but it really is being canceled. At least season nine will be (season eight will continue as usual). To learn more about it, follow this link...

Don't be so cruel. You don't know how hard is it to see SB on every merchandising place and knowing it's not over. If aliens came to Earth to judge human race's intelligence, what would they think after watching newer episodes?

Wow SpongeSebastian you actually had me. Oddly enough this thread brings more happiness to me then anything in the long run, since I didn't even know Season 8 or 9 had been announced yet.
