Trivia[]
- This event would experience a series of schedule changes:
- "Visiting Vikings" was briefly scheduled to premiere on October 9, 2025 at 4:00pm as a standalone episode for Leif Erikson Day, before being moved back to its initial October 10 slot.
- "Laundro-Madness" and "Hog Huntin'" were initially scheduled to premiere together on October 10, 2025 at 5:30pm. However, the premieres were later split, with "Hog Huntin'" premiering on October 17, 2025 at 5:30pm instead.
- As a result of the above change, the premieres of "SpongeBob TrashPants" / "Krusty Kafeteria" (originally October 17, 2025) and "Heart of Garbage" / "Near-Mint Plankton" (originally October 24, 2025) were postponed by one week respectively.
- For a brief period, "Slumber Party Stars" and "Doctor Patrick" were scheduled to premiere following the premieres of "Heart of Garbage" and "Near-Mint Plankton" on October 31, 2025, before the day's premieres were pulled entirely.
- "Squidferatu" was briefly scheduled to air alongside the premiere of "Laundro-Madness," before being replaced by "The Night Patty."
