Broadcast history

Top Channel

SpongeBob SquarePants (pronounced as SponxhBob SkuerPents) premiered on Top Channel on 2007-07-14, and aired on weekends. This was until 2009-02-14 when it was moved to airing every day while they reaired season 1-5. This would be reversed later in the year.

Starting with the premiere of season 7 on 2011-01-16, episodes started airing every Sunday only. Sometime during season 7's initial airing, its timeslot was replaced with DreamWorks Dragons. The show came back on 2011-09-11, where season 6 began reairing. The first premiere again would be on 2011-12-04, when Greasy Buffoons premiered, and the show continued to air episodes again until 2012-02-12. It would come back for the final time on 2012-12-08. On 2013-05-11, season 7 concluded.

On 2013-06-29, episodes started airing biweekly. On 2013-09-29, episodes starting airing triweekly. On 2013-11-10, the show aired for the final time in 7 years and was officially replaced after shows had cycled through the timeslot by The Nimbols on 2013-12-29.

After a seven year hiatus, the dub returned on 2020-08-02. It aired daily until 2020-09-06, when it was moved to airing on weekends. From 2021-01-09 until 2021-03-27, it was moved to just airing on Saturdays. On 2021-04-04 the show aired again on a Sunday and the following week it only aired on Saturday before stopping altogether. The next Sunday and the following week the Top Channel dub of Avatar: The Last Airbender aired instead. It is unknown if the remaining episodes of season 7 were dubbed.

Bang Bang

The dub reaired on Bang Bang, this time titled SfungjerBob PantallonKatrori. It started airing on late 2011, about 4 years after it initially started on Top Channel.

After a hiatus, the show came back on 2012-06-19, and season 5 was aired until 2012-07-08. There would be another hiatus until 2012-11-10.

Trivia

• The Lost Media Wiki banned most pages on lost dubs from being made for being too excessive and unnecessary (with possible exceptions being given to English dubs). Most of the blame was pinned on the Albanian SpongeBob page for starting the trend. Since then, the dub has become infamous in the Lost Media community.
• The theme song was only localized in the Bang Bang version, because some changes were made to the dub.
• The Top Channel version didn't have the pirate part and the theme song was in English.
• Nickelodeon and United Plankton Pictures, Inc. were cut at the end of the credits of Top Channel airings.
• SpongeBob's laugh and other similar sounds aren't consistent. Sometimes they're performed by Albanian actors, sometimes they're left in English.
• In the first three seasons, songs would either get cut or be subtitled. Starting with season 4, songs like "Feeling of Greed" from "Selling Out" or the songs from "Dunces and Dragons" are dubbed, although very poorly adapted and sang. Starting with "Together" from season 5, songs would be either dubbed by a separate actor or cut. "Bee Line for the Tree Line" was left in M&E.

Cuts

Various scenes of a few seconds were cut from several episodes for unknown reasons. For example:

• In "Pickles," the scene with customers complaining was removed. 
• In "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm," the scene when Patrick says, "We should take Bikini Bottom and push it somewhere else" is also removed.
• In the episode "The Algae's Always Greener," the scene where Plankton says, "What it's just an ordinary Krabby--OH MY GOODNESS! SQUIDWARD!" is removed as well.

Missing episodes

• In the 2020-2021 airing, episode S02E18a ("Sailor Mouth") was replaced with a reair of S02E01b ("Squid's Day Off"). The episode was likely not dubbed due to its theme.
• Episodes S06E20, S06E21 didn't air either. It is unknown if these episodes were dubbed.
  • The same happened with episodes S07E14-S07E16 and S07E20-S07E26. Before those could air, the show was replaced with Avatar. However, the 2013 schedules suggest those episodes may have been dubbed.
