Trivia
General
- There's are a few events that have similar names called Friday Night Party with Nicktoons, Friday Night Slimetime, and Nick Friday Night, and Mighty Friday Nights.
- "Shanghaied," "Graveyard Shift," and "Krusty Love" are the only season 2 episodes to premiere in this event.
- Despite the 15-minute version of "Shanghaied" premiering on March 10, it doesn't count on the new episode 8 PM timeslot due to the 22-minute version premiering a day earlier.
- Although new episodes of SpongeBob during the event stopped on January 24, 2003, reruns still aired on the block until August 1, 2003, when it was replaced by The Fairly OddParents![1]
