Is Clancy Brown right? Will SpongeBob truly "last forever"?

[Sara SquarePants]

An interview with Clancy Brown said: "Steve Hillenburg created something magical that has lasted forever and will continue to last forever"

Is he right?

Will SpongeBob SquarePants truly last forever?!?

I doubt it

 

[YouDontKnowSponge]

The main show will probably end sometime between 2024 to 2031 but will continue through spin-offs.

SpongeBob will probably end in around 5-10 years but its legacy will remain, it will probably air reruns on Nickelodeon once no more new episodes are going to be released.

 

[Vuvuzela Smasher]

If by "forever" you mean "until society collapses" then yes

 

[spongie33]

I doubt it will last forever. I see it ending in 10-15 years

 

[SpongeBobfan1987]

Maybe until the heat-death of the universe...

 

[Sara SquarePants]

No...more likely until the death of the voice actors

What I meant is that they will still air the show long after they are gone (but not forgotten).

they could keep recasting the characters until the end of time

They can't recast the characters! They didn't recast Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy when Ernie and Tim passed away.

true

 

[Graperpetual Pretzel]

The show itself? No. I can't see it going past 2030.

The legacy of the sponge?
As Squidward once said, indubitably.

it's the reboots

 

[Original Raw and Uncut]

SpongeBob’s not ending any time soon. People thought the episodes was on the Simpsons were on the verge of ending 20 years ago and it’s still running.

 

[SpongeVol93]

I think even if it does end sometime in the next few years it will undoubtedly get a reboot of some kind years from now like with Rugrats. I think SpongeBob is so popular that it will keep coming back in new forms like Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, etc. I really wish they would just end it and not bring it back though, I can't imagine other voice actors playing the characters. But it's happened with pretty much any other long-running cartoon.
