Really?
Why?
It's so ancient at this point!
"most popular show on the planet" seems you forgot about The SimpsonsNot suprised. SpongeBob is not only the most popular show on the planet but it’s likely the most well known show on TV.

you're talking about currently I am talking about of all time both Simpsons and Spongebob are tied for most popular showSpongeBob is currently more popular than the Simpsons. I can’t think of a single show more popular than SpongeBob and I watch plenty of live action shows as well….
Actually SpongeBobs never been close to top watched cartoon on tv. Cartoon Network used to be #1 until they fumbled hard with crap like cn real and their terrible 2010s onward shows.Not suprised. SpongeBob is not only the most popular show on the planet but it’s likely the most well known show on TV.
I'm sorry but that sounds like hyperbole to the extreme. If the viewership were that high then way more people would be talking about that achievement to this day. Sure, those shows definitely were and still are popular during their time, but i doubt it was THAT popular. Also, the Nicktoons Channel promo from 2002 mentioned that the Rugrats All Grown Up Special was "the highest rated kids program ever" at the time that it came out and that special more then likely came out after all those shows you mentioned.Literally 80+ million by the end of DBZ,GT, og dragonball.
