[{"role": "system", "content": "SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as the highest rated series to ever air on Nickelodeon, and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. As of late 2017, the media franchise has generated $13 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. Many of the ideas for the series originated in an unpublished educational comic book titled \"The Intertidal Zone\", which Hillenburg created in 1989. He began developing \"SpongeBob SquarePants\" into a television series in 1996 upon the cancellation of \"Rocko's Modern Life\", and turned to Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on that series, to voice the title character. SpongeBob was originally going to be named SpongeBoy, and the series was to be called \"SpongeBoy Ahoy! \", but both of these were changed, as the name was already trademarked. Nickelodeon held a preview for the series in the United States on May 1, 1999, following the television airing of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I watch a lot of Spongebob Squarepants which almost was named SpongeBoy Ahoy."}, {"role": "user", "content": "My kids love that show.

I wonder which show will last the longest!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I think the Simpson's will win hands down. It started off as a short sketch series in 1987 on the Tracy Ullman show and became the cartoon it is today in 1989-1990."}, {"role": "user", "content": "It's amazing that the same voice actors have been with the show since the beginning. Hopefully they last for a while!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, it's amazing! The voice of Bart is actually voiced by Nancy Cartwright! She's amazing. "}]
