Do you have any other details about where you first heard of it? Who's claiming it exists, sources for the claim, and stuff like that.
I love the category but this is like the third unknown SpongeBob thing that's popped up within the past few months. Are there really that many lost commercials from as far into the series as the mid to late 2000s?
I first heard of this from the Dunces and Dragon's episode page on the SpongeBob Wiki (specifically under the Trivia section)
Most people in the Lost Media community today weren't around back then. And lostwave tends to attract a younger, naïver demographic. It's also far easier to hoax than the classical version of lost media - you like an obscure song? Post it as "lostwave" and watch it instantly get tons of attention! (Note: please do NOT do that.)
It's honestly sad that we're letting the old principles of lost media hunting get lost on this new generation. The last thing we need is more attention from bad actors. Heavens knows we got enough of that already.

Meanwhile, Doremi is STILL getting new merch and new animated sequences 20+ years after its premiere. It's wild how POPULAR it still is over in Japan (among other places), while here....it basically aired a handful of (questionably) dubbed episodes, then dropped off, and that was IT for the franchise. Doremi is a BIG deal abroad!
Yeah, if only we could get a more faithful localization...

Every now and then, in 2022, Bee Movie aired on Nickelodeon a few times. If I recall correctly, not any scenes were added, just some cuts to fit in the time spot. I can't find these airings online, at least where I'm looking.
Was there anything significant to make this considered lost media?

Yeaaaaaaaa maybe this thread should probably be taken down then just in case.
Probably so. There are three US Supernanny families who have requested to have their episode pages downright removed from the wiki, and one who had all the names removed from the page. One highly controversial US episode is The Davis Family, and now the wiki page for it has become borderline doxxing towards Phil, which I'm sure the family is not happy about. People need to learn to respect the privacy of these families.
This reality tv shit is no joke.

Yeah I prefer dubs for similar reasons though I will say I find more "faithful" dubs released these days to be kinda dull, like I miss the days where dubs would go in wild directions like with Sailor Moon, DBZ and 4Kids stuff in general.
SAME I liked watching the dub and sub of Tokyo mew mew/mew mew power and card captor Sakura/cardcaptors just BC they're so wildly different from their original versions they're basically their own shows.
They did Doremi dirty, though.
