I completely forgot about the existence of Chalkzone until now.

Lmao holy shit this unlocked a memory. As a kid I'd post on a Hey Arnold fan forum in 1999-2000, and I remember the absolute hate train that Spongebob got from the posters there.

I didn't think much about Spongebob myself for a couple years until I saw the episode "Band Geeks" in like 2002.

Also Rocket Power... That was one of those shows that merely existed. I didn’t encounter anyone who had anything bad to say about it, but I was hard pressed to find a diehard fan. All I remember about it was the dialogue was "hello, fellow kids" tier (even moreso than a typical Nick show) and full of slang that was about 10 years out of date by 1999.

Rocket Power totally beefed it

I was super into Rocket Power, specifically the episode where they got to ride with Tony Hawk on the light up boards. I was really into THPS so it was a match made in heaven.

Also, I can see why Hey Arnold fans would hate SpongeBob. Those shows are polar opposites in terms of tone and sensibility.
