I never imagined working on the show to this date and this long. I really figured we might get a season and a cult following, and that might be it." ^[11] In an interview, Tom Kenny told that "What I'm most proud of is that kids still really like it and care about it [...] They eagerly await new episodes. People who were young children when it started 10 years ago are still watching it and digging it and think it's funny. That's the loving cup for me." ^[12]

Nickelodeon also broadcast a 50 ½-hour television marathon titled "The Ultimate SpongeBob SpongeBash Weekend". The marathon featured the ten most memorable episodes as picked by its viewers on Nick.com. The night capped off with a television encore of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie at 8 PM. ^[13] On July 19, ten new episodes including the special episode "To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants" premiered. ^{[14] [15]} Paramount Home Entertainment released a 14-disc DVD titled The First 100 Episodes on September 22, 2009. ^[16] The DVD runs approximately 2200 minutes and includes the first 100 episodes of the series. ^{[17] [18]} A second SpongeBob SquarePants television film, titled Truth or Square , aired on Nickelodeon on November 6, 2009. ^{[19] [20]} Several celebrities made live action cameo appearances on the film, including Rosario Dawson, LeBron James, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, Craig Ferguson, Robin Williams and P!nk, while Ricky Gervais provided opening and closing narration for the film. ^{[21] [22]}

In a DVD review for the individual episode DVD release Spongicus, Roy Hrab of DVD Verdict gave this season a negative review and said that "In my previous SpongeBob reviews I have commented that series has lost its edge. This offering does nothing to change my opinion. But what the heck do I know? Clearly, the show continues to maintain a large following and the franchise is a license to print money for Nickelodeon." ^[97] The DVD consists of eight episodes and praised the episodes "Not Normal" and "Gone" by describing them "the best episode on the disc" and "a decent episode", respectively. ^[97] Also from DVD Verdict, Gordon Sullivan, on the DVD release To SquarePants or Not to SquarePants, said that "[it is] a solid collection of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes." ^[98] He added that "My only serious problem with this set is that it's only eight episodes long; a more complete season-style release would be more efficient. On the technical front everything is fine, with the bright, solid colors of Bikini Bottom shining through clearly and all the dialogue and effects clear and detailed." ^[98] Sullivan gave the episodes "The Splinter", "Slide Whistle Stooges", and "The Krabby Kronicle" an 8/10 rating, while "Boating Buddies" received the lowest rating with 3/10. ^[98]
