The Great Space Coaster

A trio of human singers (Francine, Danny, and Roy) are brought to the habitable asteroid by the Coasterville by the "space coaster", a roller coaster-like spaceship. The asteroid is populated by strange-looking, wise-cracking puppet characters, such as Goriddle Gorilla, Knock Knock the Woodpecker, Edison the Elephant. The regular pilot of the space coaster is Baxter the Clown. He is on the run from his former employer, the villainous circus ringmaster M.T. Promises. The ringmaster keeps trying to recapture him and force him to work at the circus.

SpongeBob SquarePants

16 Seasons
The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and often nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurably optimistic and earnest sea sponge, and his underwater friends. Dwelling a few fathoms beneath the tropical isle of Bikini Atoll in the sub-surface city of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob lives in a two-story pineapple. Instead of taking the logical approach to everyday challenges, SpongeBob approaches life in a wayward and unconventional way. Whether searching for the ultimate spatula to perfect his burger flipping technique at the Krusty Krab or just hanging out with his best friend Patrick (an amiable starfish), SpongeBob's good intentions and overzealous approach to life usually create chaos in his underwater world.
