Bikini bottom origin story

The bikini bottom origin story is a one hour special for Spongetool TV and Fanon Sponge TV. It centers around the myths and facts about the creation of bikini bottom. It aired on June 5, 2001. From September 17, 2005 - onward, Nickelodeon owns the rights to the special.
== Controversy ==
This special was controversial for two reasons. the first reason was because it aired on both SpongetoolTV and Fanon Sponge TV which led to some arguments about who could release it on dvd although it ended up being released on Nickelodeon home media, since Spongebob is owned by nickelodeon. because of this issue, this special was not released on dvd until September 17, 2005.
The next reason this special was controversial was because it was a lot more mature than other spongebob specials, because Spongetool TV and Fanon sponge TV's target demographics are both 12 - 18, unlike nickelodeon. when nickelodeon sued Spongetool and Fanon Sponge inc for refusing to give nickelodeon a portion of the money made for the special, they got the rights. The first time nickelodeon aired this special, they toned it down a lot. The Dvd is also toned down, so the original for right now is lost media.
== Airing problems ==
Since Spongetool TV and Fanon Sponge TV changed direction of their channels shortly after the airing of this special, so the original was aired on Spongetool June 5, 2001, August 20, 2001, March 1, 2003, and December 25, 2004. It was only aired on Fanon Sponge June 5, 2001, and February 10, 2002, on accident.
