Reception[]

  • Bryan Pope of the DVD Verdict, praised the video and audio quality on the set, as well as the episodes themselves, calling the season "the best one of the Nickelodeon mainstay." However, he questioned the inclusion of the pilot episode of the show in this set "now instead of in its natural spot with the first season,"[1] seemingly unaware of the copyright issues mentioned in the Trivia section below.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • "Party Pooper Pants," "Ugh," and "The Sponge Who Could Fly" are all counted as double-length episodes. All of these episodes during their middle portions also have the commercial break warnings removed on this DVD due to there being no commercials on the DVD.
  • The reason that the episode "Help Wanted" appears on the season 3 DVD box set despite it being a season 1 episode is because during the production of the season 1 DVD box set, they had copyright issues over the song "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight," which is featured in the episode, so they excluded it from the season 1 DVD and promised to include it in a future DVD release.[2]
    • This is the only season DVD to have an episode from a previous season.
  • The box-set cover shows Squidward wearing the sombrero he wears in "The Camping Episode."
  • One of the backings has Plankton escaping out of a pried hole, continuing on from the previous season 2 box set where he was breaking in.
  • The Japanese cover has SpongeBob in a Hawaiian outfit playing on the ukulele.
  • The following disc covers are based on the episodes that are:
  • The floor on the disc 1 cover is dark gray. In "Squilliam Returns," the episode this disc cover is based on, it is dark blue.
  • The set up and special features screens use images from the following episodes:
  • Unlike the previous two season box sets, every episode from season 3 had been released on DVD at least once before by the time this box set was released.
  • In the Latin American version, "Just One Bite" and "The Bully" were replaced with "Welcome to the Chum Bucket" and "Frankendoodle" which are episodes from season 2.
  • This is the first SpongeBob SquarePants season DVD box set to have more than one character on the front cover.
  • This is the first time the disc cases are thin rather than normal sized on a season DVD set.
  • This is the first SpongeBob SquarePants season DVD to have multiple specials on one disc.
  • For some reason, on disc 3, the theme song is a separate chapter instead of it being paired with the first episode on the disc in one chapter.
  • The UK and Australian versions have no bonus features.
  • The original Australian release has SpongeBob and the grill moved upwards due to the ratings icon, but accidentally results in showing the full art with the cutoff lines. This error was fixed in the re-release cover.

Errors[]

Belly captions in Plankton's Army

"Belly."

  • In "Plankton's Army," when Plankton says, "United, the Plankton family could be a real pain in the fanny!" the closed captions say "belly" instead of "fanny."
