==History==
===Original Run [2014-2018]===
The channel was created in July 2014 to allow for a production channel for The Imperial Ghost's shows to be shown and produced. The channel was originally going to close in late November 2014, but was able to rebrand as Bankai Sword Entertainment thanks to the efforts of securing the anime Bleach and the show, Basket Sponge.
In mid-summer 2015, BE was undercutting troubles as it became the sole provider of Basket Sponge after one of the creators left and the other was in a hiatus period. Along with this, a new show that had priemered around the time, Time Travellers was needing to reasign it's budget for it's newly produced second season. This meant that Basket Sponge had to cut down it's third season from the original proposal of 30 episodes to 13, which was able to save enough money to keep Time Travellers afloat and to afford expenses for the shorterned third season of Basket Sponge.
The company was able to stay afloat in 2016 with the excess of the year being a break year for the company as no new shows were being produced. However, in early 2017, a new show Spaced Out was created, which became a problem as there was only enough budget for a single season because the company had not produced anything in 2016. This caused the company to slowly go under after the airing of the first (and at the time, only) season of Spaced Out, however, this wasn't pubically announced until early 2018, when it would seem that the company would have to go under as it could not survive another year.
With this, the production company and the channel ended on March 7, 2018 to transfer all of the new created/animated shows over to Canary TV. The final night was all of the pilots of SpongeBob SquarePants: After The Film; SpongeToons; Basket Sponge; Time Travellers and finally the Spaced Out pilot to cap the night off on March 8, 2018 as the channel and production company shut down in 2018.
===Brief Revival [2021-2022]===
After a retirement from productions, Blue Box TV/The TIG was revived in 2021 when the creator, The Toon Tomahawk came back to spearhead reboots and revivals of past shows. The total plan was to reboot My Guardian Angel and revive Time Travellers, along with create new shows at the same time. The revival was short lived, as after months of hiatus, The Toon Tomahawk announced her retirement from creating shows in late 2022, leaving the channel dormant again.
=== 2021/2022 Season Plans: ===
Listed below is the plans of what would have been in the works/was being done at the time for the 2021/2022 season.
* My Guardian Angel [reboot]: A new version of the old 2014 show. Planned to have three season-10 episode run. The first would be an origin season detailing the normal life of SpongeBob being changed by Angel being in his new life, the second would have SpongeBob and Angel on the run after the ending of the first season. The third would have them come back to Bikini Bottom after their world is turned upside down in the second season.
* Time Travellers [revival]: A revival of the 2015 show. Two season revival. The third season would have a new incarnation of The Doctor visit SpongeBob and Patrick, years after the last episode. The first couple of episodes in the third season would have no SpongeBob, until he's convinced by Patrick to join them. The fourth season would have them stuck in an alternative universe.
* Spaced Out [revival]: Revival of the 2017 show. Basically just do Season Two and finish it.
* SpongeBob "Smallville" Project: New show. SpongeBob gets powers as a teen. He has to keep it a secret, but the show will give us a tour around how the powers change his life and the people around him. Three seasons to plan first, then two more seasons. The show should only have five seasons.
* SpongeBob "Supernatural" Project: New show. SpongeBob and Patrick go around and hunt demons that pop up around the world. First season should be 10 episode and only set around Bikini Bottom. Second season onwards should be outside BB, with a return each season. Second half of Season 5 will be a full return. The show will only have five seasons.
* Move On To The Next World: New show. SpongeBob wakes up, his world is slightly different. There's nothing noticably different, except for the fact no-one's heard of SpongeBob, but they know him. First season to plan, multiple season show.
