Is the Help Wanted an actual episode?
I'm not sure because I have a DVD set of SpongeBob season 1, and the first disc does not have Help Wanted.

The reason why "Help Wanted" isn't on the Season 1 DVD is due to copyright issues with Tiny Tim's song "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight" being played in the episode. According to Derek Drymon, this is because Nickelodeon did not want to pay Tiny Tim's estate for the rights. However, it is included as a bonus feature on disc 3 of The Complete 3rd Season, 10 Happiest Moments, and The Third & Fourth Seasons DVDs. It is also available as a normal episode on The First 100 Episodes, SpongeBob, You're Fired!, The Pilot a Mini-Movie and the Square Shorts, and The Best 200 Episodes Ever DVDs. I copied the underlined parts from here.

Help Wanted is an actual episode. It’s the very first episode of the series.

I never even noticed it wasn't on the DVD set, but it's definitely a real episode

that is insane

Imagine if they released was a whole Complete Series boxed set for SpongeBob SquarePants, Kamp Koral and The Patrick Star Show with every episode from the 3 shows

That would be even more insane than "Kwarantined Krab" being excluded from the Season 12 DVD.

that would be insane but probably expensive XD

Help Wanted is one of Bill Fagerbakke’s favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. it was also the pilot from 1997.

 

[SpongeVol93]

It was pretty bad that it wasn't on the season 1 DVD. Especially with all the money Nick had already made on SpongeBob at that point. I guess they could get away with it because it's technically not part of season 1 and was produced as a standalone with it being the pilot. Probably would never happen but it would be really cool if we could get a DVD release of the original 1997 version of the pilot with the original intro.

 

[Nathan Shetka]

It was strange that they excluded Help Wanted on the Complete 1st Season DVD set.

 

[Nathan Shetka]

it was only left in from The First 100 Episodes DVD too.

Thank you. This is great as I have seasons 1-5, and are able to watch it. Much appreciation!
