Premise
Patrick Star hosts his very own talk show at his family home with the support of his family.
Cecil Star (voiced by Tom Wilson),[1] the father of Patrick Star who works at the Undersea Space Agency
Bunny Star (voiced by Cree Summer),[1] the mother of Patrick Star
Squidina Star (voiced by Jill Talley),[1] a squid who is the adopted sister of Patrick Star that helps in the production of The Patrick Show
GrandPat Star (voiced by Dana Snyder),[1] the grandfather of Patrick Star and father of Cecil who is the intelligent member of the Star family and uses a mobility scooter as his mode of transportation
Tinkle (vocal effects provided by Dee Bradley Baker),[3] a sentient and animalistic toilet that is the Star family's other pet.
Grandma Tentacles (voiced by Cree Summer),[1] an octopus who is the Star family's neighbor and Squidward's grandmother. She was previously portrayed by Mary Jo Catlett in the original series
SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg was asked about the potentiality of spinoffs in a 2009 interview. In response, Hillenburg remarked, "The show is about SpongeBob, he's the core element, and it's about how he relates to the other characters. Patrick by himself might be a bit too much. So I don't see any spin-offs."[6]
According to showrunner Marc Ceccarelli, the writers of The Patrick Star Show bent the rules of the original SpongeBob universe to allow for more creative freedom. Ceccarelli explained: "We really tried to just do anything we wanted... We mess with canon [the original series' continuity] a lot. I don't know if anybody knows this, but we don't really respect canon just for the sake of itself."[7] The writers also aimed to "sideline" story structures, which "frees [them] up to be more surreal and randomly bizarre with the kinds of things [they] put out there."[7]
