The SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage! (via Giphy)

Happy Saturday! The highlight tonight is the stage production SpongeBob SquarePants featuring the original cast. The musical had big expectations and garnered plenty of Tony nods back in its day, though Drama Desk was much more rewarding to it than the Tonys. Elsewhere, there are five holiday movies, Steven Universe is back for his epilogue, Dan Soder has a comedy special, and travel to study the wildlife of Madagascar. So let's be careful out there, here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, November 7!
