Nick India to air new episodes of ‘SpongeBob’ & ‘Drake and Josh’
MUMBAI: Nick India is looking to spruce up its Friday line up with all new episodes of SpongeBob Square Pants at 6 pm and 9 pm and Drake and Josh at 9.30 pm on the Nick Ha Ha Ha block.
The new episodes will only be aired on Fridays on the comedy block. During the rest of the week, the shows will continue to air as scheduled.
Spongbob is the channel‘s official mascot and is being heavily promoted among kids in India. Deep down in the Pacific Ocean in the subterranean city of Bikini Bottom lives a square yellow sea sponge named Spongbob Squarepants. He lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary, loves his job as a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, and has a knack for getting into all kinds of trouble without really trying.
Drake and Josh is the story of an intelligent, sensitive 15-year-old Josh, who never mingled at school with ‘cool boy‘ Drake, but is forced to do so when their parents marry and have to live together.
