Today marks the kick off of Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants: You Bring The Color week, the culmination of the past few months where fans have been submitting digitally colored frames from the opening sequence and the final scene of Friday’s black-and-white episode, “Squid Noir,” for a chance to be featured on air during next week’s premieres.

During each nightly premiere Nov. 6-11, at 7:00pm (ET/PT), a unique version of the iconic theme song featuring the selected fans’ names will appear on screen alongside their colorful creations. Here is a sneak peek at the very first You Bring The Color opening sequence from tonight’s episode:

Additionally, Jeff Garlin (The Goldbergs) makes his Bikini Bottom debut in Wednesday’s premiere, “Cuddle E. Hugs,” on Nov. 8, 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT). In the episode, SpongeBob’s new friend is a giant fluffy hamster, but there’s one problem: no one else can see him! Garlin guests as the titular “Cuddle E. Hugs,” a rotund hamster who loves to snuggle and is impossibly fuzzy and incredibly fun.

The website www.YouBringTheColor.com will remain open for fans to keep creating and collecting their own designs until Dec. 31st, 2017. Codes to unlock additional exclusive scenes to color can also still be redeemed with specially marked packages of products for a limited time. Partner products include General Mills GoGurt, Frankford Gummy Krabby Patties Candy and International Vitamin Corporation’s SpongeBob Gummy Vitamins.
