Show generally

Continuity mistake: Plankton's Army (aka Plankton's Last Stand) / Missing Identity: When the screen splits into 4, the last 2 events are not in chronological order. That is, they are not in the same order as they always have been.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: The Krusty Krab kitchen sometimes has deep fryers, and sometimes it doesn't. When it does, the fryers change locations in the room between episodes.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: In some episodes, Spongebob can't even lift marshmallows on a stick (Ripped Pants). However in Texas, he somehow flips a guy coming up behind him.

Suggested correction: The eyepatch doesn't change position from episode to episode. You must be thinking of "Christmas Who?" where Patchy accidentally hits himself in the eye with his hook. And the pirate from the theme song's name is Painty the Pirate. Patchy and Painty are two completely different characters.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Throughout the whole episode of "Missing Identity", SpongeBob's shirt is backwards. This is seen with his sleeves being supposedly behind him. The sleeves are missing from the front, which is normal, but throughout the episode, pay attention to behind SpongeBob. His sleeves are supposed to be behind him, but are missing altogether.

Show generally

Other mistake: Always in the older episodes (and sometimes in the newer ones), when a fish in the background takes his/her second bite of a sandwich, the sandwich still looks like the first mark. It does this on every bite after the first.

Bubblestand / Ripped Pants - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In "Bubblestand" after Squidward blows the huge bubble, he tells Spongebob and Patrick that the ability to blow bubbles is in his genes. If you look at the position of the bubblestand sign, the sign is facing the direction Squidward is talking. The sign had always been facing the street, which means that Squidward was actually talking towards the street, when Spongebob and Patrick are actually to his right.

Bubblestand / Ripped Pants - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Squidward complains to Spongebob about the construction noise from his stand, Squidward's porthole in the background is black, but from the interior there is a light on (Note: this also happens in every other shot of his house.

Bubblestand / Ripped Pants - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: SpongeBob takes off his ripped pants, and throws them on the ground. His shirt sleeves are perfectly intact. Next, Sandy and Larry are shown playing volleyball. When SpongeBob is shown again, his pants are still gone, and so are his shirt sleeves.

Dying For Pie / Imitation Krabs - S2-E6

Mr. Krabs: What's the most important rule here?
Spongebob: No free napkins?
Mr. Krabs: No, the other most important rule!
Spongebob: Only discuss the secret formula with Mr Krabs.
Mr. Krabs: As long as you do that, the formula is safe.
Squidward: I thought the most important rule was why do today what you can put off for tomorrow?
Mr. Krabs: But what's today, but yesterday's tomorrow?
Squidward: What?

Chosen answer: You need to provide a little bit more information to be able to answer a question like this. In what region is it not being shown? I see it being replayed here in Australia fairly frequently. As for a general reason, there does not appear to be any for why it specifically might have been taken off the air in any country or region. Like any show certain episodes can sometimes not be replayed for long periods for unknown reasons.
