<P> Series creator Stephen Hillenburg initially conceived the show in 1994 and began to work on it shortly after the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life in 1996 . To voice the character of SpongeBob, Hillenburg approached Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on Rocko's Modern Life . For the series pitch, Hillenburg originally wanted the idea of having SpongeBob and Squidward on a road trip, inspired by the 1989 film Powwow Highway . Hillenburg gave up the idea, and started new with the idea he and Derek Drymon came up for "Help Wanted" based on an experience Hillenburg had in the Boy Scouts . The original idea would be used for the later episode "Pizza Delivery". </P> <P> The episode was written by Hillenburg who also functioned as storyboard director, Derek Drymon, who also functioned as storyboard artist, and Tim Hill . The animation was directed by the show's supervising director, Alan Smart . "Help Wanted" features a posthumous musical performance from Tiny Tim singing his song "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight". </P> <P> "Help Wanted" was excluded in the series' first season DVD release because Nickelodeon did not want to pay Tiny Tim's estate for the DVD rights . It had since been released as a bonus feature to various series DVDs . "Help Wanted" gained an average of 6.9 million views, receiving positive reviews from media critics . </P> <P> The episode opens with an introductory glimpse of the aquatic town of Bikini Bottom . The audience is then introduced to SpongeBob SquarePants, an ecstatic, hyperactive, anxious and friendly young sea sponge preparing to fulfill a lifelong dream and passion by applying for a fry cook job at the underwater fast food restaurant, the Krusty Krab, to the annoyance of the restaurant's cashier and SpongeBob's irritable neighbor, Squidward Tentacles . SpongeBob then gets nervous and almost reconsiders applying for a job at the restaurant until his best friend, a starfish named Patrick Star, convinces him otherwise . Humored with SpongeBob's vulnerability, gullibility, and impenetrable enthusiasm and innocence, both Squidward and the restaurant's proprietor, Mr. Eugene Krabs, decide to manipulate SpongeBob, whom they secretly consider unqualified for the position, by sending him on an impossible errand to purchase a seemingly non-existent high - caliber spatula . </P>
