SPONGEBOB SOAKS UP RATINGS

If Nickelodeon channel's SpongeBob SquarePants movie had aired on a broadcast network Monday night, it would have come in in second place in the ratings only to ABC's blockbuster Dancing With the Stars. The special, titled "SpongeBob Atlantis SquarePantis," attracted nine million viewers according to the kids channel. Over at the broadcast networks, ABC's Dancing With the Stars drew a whopping 21.80 million viewers, but second-place CBS drew 8.58 million with How I Met Your Mother, slightly below SpongeBob's audience of nine million. It was the Viacom-owned channel's biggest audience of the year, the channel said.
