Production
This season aired on Nickelodeon, owned by Viacom, and produced by United Plankton Pictures and Nickelodeon. The season's executive producer is the creator of the Stephen Hillenburg series, which also serves as a showrunner. During the previous season's production, Nickelodeon had taken the third season for SpongeBob SquarePants on September 20, 2000, due to the high ratings of this show on basic cable television. It aired over a year later, on October 5, 2001.
In 2002, Hillenburg and staff members of the event decided to stop making the episode to work on the 2004 film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, having completed production of the third season. As a result, the show became a two-year "hiatus" on television. During the break, Nickelodeon expanded the programming for the third season to cover the delay, but, according to Eric Coleman, "there must be a delay and demand built." Nickelodeon announced the nine "full-time" (full) episodes will be shown. "The Sponge Who Could Fly" first aired for two hours "Sponge" -a-thon, while the other eight were broadcast later.
After the movie is over, Hillenburg wants to end the series "so the show will not jump sharks," but Nickelodeon wants to do more episodes. Hillenburg said, "Well, there were concerns when we filmed [in 2004] that the show was culminating, there were concerns among executives at Nickelodeon." Hillenburg resigned as a series showrunner, and appointed Paul Tibbitt, who previously served as a producer, writer, director and storyboard who oversaw the show, to take over the role. Hillenburg considers Tibbitt one of his favorite members of the show crew, and "fully believes it." Tibbitt still holds the showrunner position and also serves as an executive producer. Hillenburg no longer writes or runs the show everyday, but reviews each episode and provides suggestions. He said, "I know when I'm old enough, I can still paint... [...] I do not know about running the show." Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, and the rest of the crew confirmed that they had completed four new episodes to air on Nickelodeon in early 2005, and planned to finish about 20 total for the fourth season.
Animation is handled abroad in South Korea at Rough Draught Studios. The animation director is credited with episodes in the third season including Sean Dempsey, Andrew Overtoom, Frank Weiss, and Tom Yasumi. The episode was written by the author's team, comprising Walt Dohrn, C.H. Greenblatt, Sam Henderson, Kaz, Jay Lender, Joe Liss (Just The Snail Race), Mark O'Hare, Kent Osborne, Aaron Springer, Paul Tibbitt, and Merriwether Williams. The season is the storyboard by Zeus Cervas, Dohrn, Greenblatt, Henderson, Kaz, Chuck Klein, Carson Kugler, Lender, Heather Martinez, Caleb Meurer, O'Hare, Osborne, And Povenmire, William Reiss, Mike Roth, Springer, Tibbitt, and Wiese.

Tom Kenny, in response to the article, said, "[I] feel that allusion is a stretch." Kenny says, "I've heard that gay viewers enjoy the show in the same way as many people - students, parents and kids - like the show [...] I think it's kinda silly to hang an entire article on it. think it's a case of being gay-friendly - It's a human-friendly show They're all welcome. "Hillenburg answers the character's sexual orientation and declares that he is" [a] cheerful character [but] not gay. " He explained that he thought the character was "almost asexual". The popularity of performances among gay men will be controversial. In 2005, a promotional video, which showed SpongeBob along with other characters from children's singing events together to promote diversity and tolerance, was attacked by evangelical groups in the United States because they saw SpongeBob used as an "advocate for homosexuality". James Dobson of Focus on the Family accused video-makers of "promoting homosexuality because of the pro-tolerance group sponsoring videos". After Dobson made the comment, Hillenburg reiterated that sexual preferences were never considered during the making of the show. Tom Kenny and other production members were surprised and surprised that such a problem had arisen. Dobson then confirmed that his comments were taken out of context and that his original complaint was not with SpongeBob, the video, or any of the characters in the video but with the organization sponsoring my We Are Family Foundation . Dobson pointed out that the We Are Family Foundation posted the pro-homosexual material on their website, but later deleted it.
