In honor of it's terrific Prorifera, Nickelodeon will broadcast a fifty hour marathon from July 17-19 entitled, “To view the link you have to Register”. As part of this programming schedule, the network will include eleven premiere Spongebob events.
"To view the link you have to Register", which made its debut on July 17, 1999, has been the number-one rated animated show in the children ages 2-11 demographic for seven consecutive years, and is aired in twenty-five markets and one-hundred and seventy-one different languages. It is the most extensively dispersed property in the history of MTV Networks.
As a precursor to the blockbuster affair, To view the link you have to Register will air “Square Roots: The Story of Spongebob Squarepants” on Tuesday, July, 14, 2009 at 9PM ET/PT. The hour long documentary, chronicling Spongebob's rise to stardom and the show's influence on pop culture, will feature appearances from multiple celebrity personalities, including basketball icon, Lebron James. The opening segment of the program will feature a song by Avril Lavigne.

The main event on Nickelodeon kicks off with the premiere of “To Squarepants or Not to Squarepants”, on Friday, July 17, 2009 at 8PM. This will be followed by the ten most memorable Spongebob episodes as selected by fans, beginning on Saturday July 18, at 10AM and ending at 8PM with a showing of 2004's “The Spongebob Squarepants Movie” (cast your vote at: To view the link you have to Register).

Spongebob also serves as a spokes-sponge, as part of Nickelodeon's continuing “To view the link you have to Register” campaign for ecological awareness and conservation. This is accomplished in part through implementing the kid-friendly “To view the link you have to Register”, a team ocean conservation effort between Nickelodeon, To view the link you have to Register and the To view the link you have to Register.
